Reloading bench pics

[v0lcom13sn0w]

A lot of nice set-ups guys. I like keeping it simple. My reloading bench is small, but it works great. I have a nice steel lockbox for my powder and primers and quite a bit of cupboard space for my brass and dies and bullets:

nice and clean!!

Nice setup!

I use the same red folgers cans. Greatest invention for storing brass!

 

[Crohnos01]

Hmmm.... I wonder how much brass I can store in my empty k-cups?

Soon as I can upload... hosting on instagram until then.

I added some really stout shelves below my reloading bench. I gained 16" deep, and 11' long. The bottom supports are 2x4 on end with 1/2" lab as the top surface. I went with 12" tall because that's what perfectly fits ammo cans.

Added another shelf. According to the brackets these shelves should hold 1500lbs. Not sure if the wood will hold..

A few 380's and then while your at is.. dispose of the cups.. for the rest of us that reload 9 and curse 380s ending up in our 9mm brass collections

You guys are funny. I do agree about the folgers cans though. They are a great way to store brass. That and the green MTM boxes..

Just upgraded my workspace. I keep all my ammo and components in a locker and safe

$4 strong mount
I wanted a way to mount different presses in the same place, but all have different hole patterns.
I fount these 6" square x 1/4" thick plates at Pacific Steel, with a hole in each corner, and cut one corner off for a 3 hole adaptor plate.

Drill some holes to line up with the press(es), and used T-nuts with the barbs cut off, rather than tapping the holes.

In the cabinet it looks like this

Another press mounted

At 1st the presses rocked a little on the T-nuts, so I added "spacer" strips in front of/behind the T-nuts on all 3 plates.
Those strips (3 layers of gorilla duct tape) took out the flex and the mounts are now rock solid.

Presses are: RCBS Junior, RCBS Piggyback II, RCBS Ammomaster.

edit: plates are $4 each, T-nuts used under bench also.

Mine is very temporary on the out feed table of my Delta Unisaw for now since I'm not WW at the moment. I have a 30'x48' shop but am not sure where or how I want to set up a dedicated spot.
