Is that a custom Pelican case on the left?

Nice reloading set up!

It is indeed a 54" Pelican Vault. I cut the foam myself.

That’s only half of it. I reloaded 13,000 rounds last winter. This winter not so much (7000).

My Gatling Gun burns up 100 rounds in about 15 seconds.

Not trying to offend, but that 8 lbs looks awfully sexy.

Girls are funny. I come from three generation military and have had what some may consider an adventurous life.

A lot of girls, especially city girls who have led a somewhat mundane life and put 8 pounds of gunpowder in their hands, well the only way I can explain it is that they get that Bonnie and Clyde thing going.

When I take my Gatling gun to the range, after the first hundred round drum I get some onlookers. I usually take 1 hundred round drum and 8 fifty round drums. After the first hundred drum I fire off zI usually burn the other drums up letting other people fire it. I offer to use their phone to video them while they shoot.

Funny how guys and girls both get that same smile on their faces when they are playing with something that goes boom boom.

Ya know, I’m very much a law abiding functional member of society who hasn’t kilIed anything for decades. I simply just like to target shoot. I see on the news every now and then where the police will bust someone for wrongdoing and they show all kinds of guns and stuff. People who are against guns are probably blown away by such news story’s not even realizing that an honest person can have 30 pounds of gun powder sitting around because shooting is an honest sport for them. Us gun enthusiast’s really do get a bad rap sometimes because of the relatively few bad guys.

This is a FAMILY friendly forum, sir. Keep that in mind!

I want to know if you spent two days cleaning and organizing that area before taking the picture or if it looks pretty much like that all the time?
You super neat organized guys scare the hell out of me.... what I'm doing right now is trying to clean up one of my work areas and it is never going to look even close to that.... I should have taken a before picture, there was so much junk on the floor you could not walk in there with out kicking something... and compared to yours, it will still look awful when I'm done... so no pictures from me.

I'm sure those ammo cans are labeled but I would have done this on the side with the latch so it would show us what's in them....

Can never have too much, can never have enough.

You mean labeled like this? I keep four stacks of ammo. Two like you saw in the picture and two just like it in my gun room. As I use a can upstairs I just replace the inventory with what’s down by my reloading bench.

When I’m reloading things don’t look that tidy but they aren’t a mess either. When Zi change calibers the ones I pull off the press go back in their box and put in a draw. I have three powder dumps in the three main calibers I reload so it’s just a matter of swapping the dies and powder dumps. Some rounds I do measure every round but I don’t load those rounds by the thousands.

All the ammo I reload gets vacuum packed using my food saver. I’ve never had an ammo shortage. I’m still reloading rounds with primers when they were $30 for a case of 1000. I don’t have an exact number but a close guess is 50,000 rounds on hand. I enjoy reloading. I only reload in the winter when I can’t ride my bike.

 

[JAYDAWG]

Cool set up, & ya, no such thing as to much ammo.
We are similar in our reloading plans, and I really like the vacuum pack thing. I might borrow that idea from you!

If my place was that clean, I probably would’ve found all the primers I dropped this morning.

Add to the list of things I won't post pictures of. Glad I have one sealed pound of Varget and no use for it because I think those 8-pounders are like $500 and I am not sure why ... since there are alternatives.

I can’t remember but I think they were a little over $300 when I picked them up.

Did you vacuum pack some marbles as well?

 

[JAYDAWG]

Nope, hard to play with them.

Yeah a pound of rifle powder doesn’t go very far.

Your wife is both game and beautiful, Lou. Congrats!

One thing to remember about vacuum packing. You aren’t going to be able to just rip those packets open with your bare hands. You can’t even chew them open.
So on the inside of each can lid I have duct taped a utility knife blade.

It's still sealed. Please explain.

Well, spend some time in the military and you are groomed into the mindset of "standing by for inspection" vs "ready for inspection".....

The poor guys who would say "ready for inspection"...........they learned fast that they were in fact not ready

For years I drilled that into my Son.....his room was never acceptable, he never put things away correctly, drove me insane......but in boot camp he was so squared away he was selected for Special Assignment at USNCG in DC....now he passes uniform, barracks room and working space inspections with ease....although after he's home on liberty or leave I still tend to find something adrift....

I would like to see the Gatling, please.
