Jody, you need to update the pictures of this. It has really changed! Especially since so much of my junk is in there!

Re: Here's my reloading area
After being inspired by this post, I neated my area up. With match shooting the amount of brass can get overwhelming.
I have two presses on either end of the little table, an RCBS and a Dillon 550B. I turn it whichever way is needed for the task at hand or drag it in front of my recliner and watch TV while I deprime. I'd initially thought of mounting the presses on the old school teacher's desk but the holes line up straight under the face board over the middle drawer and my drawer would be useless. I'm considering one of those kits that has the dovetailed setup where you slide the press in and out, but for now what I have works well enough.
I'm only doing 223 and 3006 in quantity so I have a drawer for each with all the dies, bullets, primers, and special tools in each. One drawer is full of Dillon tools and pieces and parts. The double drawer on the far side is my powder magazine and the other is cleaning supplies. Middle drawer is a catch all for now.

Looks good! You're way ahead of me, considering what reloading stuff I have is in someone else's shop.

Yes, it is but I've got the room and I definitely enjoy the company.

Me too!
That's enough though, or I'm going to start crying. 0530 is too early to cry, I prefer that at mid afternoon!

You must have straightened up a bit since I was there last.

Re: Here's my reloading area
Very nice setup! I wish I had the room. I'm restricted to my storage room and only have a 5x4 area to work with. I've had to come up with some creative uses for storage. I might post a few pics of it whenever I get it straightened up again (can't promise when that will be
)

You're doing better than me! I have to drive a couple of miles to do any reloading.

Clearly the sign of a twisted mind.
Very well laid out, and organized.

I know you have a spare bedroom or two. If the kids come to visit they can sleep on the couch.

Re: Here's my reloading area
That is impressive! Mine's in the guest br so it is less impressive, to say the least. But at least I got it back out after about a 14 year hiatus. Mine is a Dillon 450, with au upgrade to a 550b I guess. I will not be posting pics of it but thanks for posting yours! Food for thought..... #1 son moving out soon.....
