WilliamC's garage reloading area

Post by williamc »

Here's my area. I'm currently only loading for the .44 Special/magnum, but I'm gearing up for 9mm and .30-06 (Garand). Reloading quickly turned from a way to save money feeding my Ruger flattop into a hobby all it's own.

Here's my bench. I like to keep it clean and clutter-free. The bench top has extra reinforcements that the press screws into. It is nice and rock-solid.

I'm using the complete Lee classic cast kit, including the safety prime system and the pro Autodisk measure. All my die sets are Lee.

And storage for ammo and supplies.

I'm using a Lyman turbo 1200 tumbler for case cleaning duties. I was thinking of getting an ultrasonic, but I think traditional tumblers are more versatile.

I've just started reloading, and I just passed the point where I've broken even vs. factory ammo (including the cost of my equipment and components).

Here's what I'm currently loading for, my Rossi 92 (44 mag) and my Ruger Flattop in .44 Special.

I envy the space. Mine is about 1/3 that size.

It's a bit of an illusion. When my car is in the garage it hugs the shelves and goes up to the carpet. If I pull out my components beforehand, I can still load when the car is in the garage.

Geeezzs, so organized and neat. Seems like I cant do anything unless I have EVERYTHING on the loading bench at one time!

Looks really good.
