Interested in this also. I just set up my room and I'm waiting on my 650xl also. I've got three 7' x 3' wood tables set up in a horse shoe shape against 3 walls. Pretty much fit perfectly. The room has no windows and is on the bottom floor. The back wall is the retaining wall. Cement floors. Florescent tube lighting. Two large safes against the 4th wall near the door. The door has a door like a garage, so I can lock the room and it is pretty solid.
Storage is currently not the best, and I'm not much of a wood worker. Buying the prefabricated drawers and cabinets from some place like Home Depot isn't going to happen. They want both arms and a leg for them. I'd spend more on that shit then I did on all the reloading equipment. I plan on running the tumbler in the garage to keep the dust and possible lead particles out of the house. |

Here's mine. Some things has been change since the pics has been taken but majority as still the same. The bench is bolted onto the wall.

| See this link here scroll down about 1/4 way, just above the pic of the .45 rounds and look at the 3 threads there for more pics. Mine is in there somewhere. Nice setup you have! how does the Lee equipment work? Any complaints? I am looking into progressives for .45acp. |
| Nice Joel, I have a Lee Turret as well. If you're keeping your Lees around I suggest installing Safety Primes. It's pretty slick IMHO, as far as these inexpensive systems go. |

Once I finish reorganizing my man room, sure. Until then...it's a mess.

An old piece of kitchen counter top on the cheapest under counter cabinets at the home store. Added a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood with a tube of construction adhesive for extra stiffening. Easy clean surface, lots of storage and solid as a rock. This is an old picture and the Rockchucker has been replaced with a 550 in the same location. Both presses are mounted off to the right to leave a large area for gun cleaning and miscellaneous tasks. The vise with soft jaws is used a lot more than you'd think on a reloading bench. The typing table holds my brass low to my right hand, just the way I like it.
When not in use, the typing table stores in the knee hole of the bench.

Yea I plan on keeping the Lee's, I havent seen the safety priming system work until now.. I may be looking into this.. thanks for the link.. I'm gonna be building a heavy bench using 4X4 post for the legs with 2X4 going around the perimiter with a lower shelf and a 2.5 inch thick bench top I'll get pic's as I go when I get the 650XL placed.. the Lee's will be there too..

We need to get one of these threads tacked one day... Did you ever read the FAQ's? Or how about the tacked thread at the top of the forum where anyone can add a post with links to any thread they think is worthwhile? I'm not going to clutter the top of the forum with tacked threads. There are two right now, that's plenty. I'm tempted to start locking threads with repetitve topics that are either answered in the Resource links or on the first three pages of the forum. When I started moderating this forum, half of page one was buried in tacked threads. My first job was to eliminate that clutter. It's aggravating when it's clear that my effort is wasted because no one bothers to pay attention. The thread I mentioned above is a prime example; it has been up for over a week and not one person has contributed a link. That's not hard, in fact there's no easier way for someone to contribute to the forum. |
