I'll start it off. Here's my devistatingly unorganized setup.

Guess I'm a little slow on the uptake today. Its obvious what you meant when I reread.MrSlippyFist wrote:lol - probably. I meant the bench in heaven, and not his specifically.

Its great to hear about people teaching kids about gun safety and not just going out and letting them throw lead down range.VITALIY wrote:I know, we'll be working on that trigger finger thing this summerf3rr37 wrote:Very nice, the only thing wrong with the picture is the finger on the trigger, but very nice

I bet I have the same one. Is it about 6 feet tall and about 4 feet wide, with the same stainless steel doors as on the drawers in your picture? I store some of my ammo in mine. It won't all fit in there.c1demo wrote:I keep my powder, bullets and other supplies on another Sam's Storage shelf not pictured.
You've got a Lee handpress! How do you like it? I just ordered one last week along with a half dozen bushings to have something to take with me out in the field when I'm working up new loads.PainKillaX wrote:My "Bench"
I've never used a traditional mounted press, but I LOVE it. Portable, easy to use. Mine cost ~$40 and came with a priming tool too. It's definitely nice to just sit on the couch/floor and process brass while you watch tv. I resized 400 pieces of .45 while I watched Locked Up Abroad last night. :laugh: I ended up buying a set of the quick change bushings, not because they're hard to change, but so that I don't have to reset my dies each time. Cheap, light, portable, versatile, and you can write it off as a workout.500SWfan wrote:

Glad to hear it. I love the simplicity of Lee products. The main reason I went with the Redding Turret press early on was so I could set up for a load and not have to constantly set up the dies again the next time around. I've got three turrets (and need another four or five to take the dies for all the calibers I load), and I'm thinking of changing over to a Lee single stage breech lock press and a whole lot of bushings. I usually buy two or three or four die sets when I start a new caliber (like I'm now doing with the 5.7) so I can keep different dies set up for different bullets, so the interchangeability of the breech lock bushing system would seem to work great for me. For case trimming I have always used the Lee caliber specific trimmer gauges with a battery powered drill, and I can't count the number of hours I've spent trimming cases while sitting there watching TV. Reloading is a process to be enjoyed, not an event to be circumventedPainKillaX wrote:I've never used a traditional mounted press, but I LOVE it. Portable, easy to use.

I actually went the cheap and easy route on a lot of things. I have a Hornady digital scale and powder trickler, Lyman combo case prep tool (chamfer, deburr, and clean primer pockets for $20!), and the Lee measure set. I have the Lee hand held case trimmer. Rough on the hands if you don't toss it in the drill but it was $11. I could really use an actual cleaner but the solution I use now works well enough.
Definitely not the fastest setup but I can fit in all in a box and it won't take me as many rounds to make back my investment cost.
I have OCD when it comes to a clean organized bench.JoJo wrote:A clean bench is the sign of a sick mind!

Love this thread!
Here is my setup.
I built it to be portable, so I can bugout with it if needed, but it also works great for taking it inside the house in case its too freezing cold in my garage, I want to be with my family, or if I want to load while using the best stereo.
It's great for going to a buddy's house for a reloading party or a trip out in the woods to work up some loads... A bit excessive... Maybe...!
It has a big enough footprint that it doesn't move around, especially when the side trays are loaded with bullets and built rounds.
The handle also stops right against the wood on a full throw.
