I am enlarging my reloading area and this is what I have come up with. Let me know if you see room for improvement or if something needs to be slid around a little. The safe, TV, animal heads are in place now (safe can not be moved). I am going to use unfinished oak cabinet bases and a butcher block type counter top (wife is going to paint the cabinets and stain the counter top). Will mount two power strips for the scale, dremel tool and lights.

Have I forgot anything????



What do ya think?? Should give me about 10 feet of counter top to work with.

I'd personally move the single stage press to the opposite side of the bench. I don't like it sitting so close to the safe as I like plenty of "elbow" room. Other than that, I can't fault your setup-looks good.

Plenty of beer for Sunday races. Ahh, reloading and watching TV while under the influence of alcohol.....what fun.

Press: I agree, but am just trying to maximise the space so I still have enough room to clean my rifles and build ARs on the far end. My press is mounted like that on my existing bench and I have about 1.5 feet between it and the wall and I am comfortable with it. Now that I have the 550B I don't use the single stage as much.

Fridge stays full of beer at 34 degrees.....damn, I am getting thirsty just talking about it!! Budlight, Icehouse and Warsteiner Premium Verum. I really don't drink that often, just want a cold one when I do.

You can keep the Budlite and Icehouse for watering the plants around the house-but I love the Warsteiner

Schaeffer all the way baby-HA!

Hey-I got lucky with my 185VLD load in the new GAP. Once again it's like a frickin' laser. Lucky me-no load developement.



10 Shot group-
-Extreme Spread of .928"
-Mean Radius of .231"

I shot another 10 shot group this morning with an Extreme Spread of 1.121" and a Mean Radius of .341". This one looked similar to the pictured group but I had 2 little guys that were a little further away from the rest of the blob.

Know anybody with some woodworking skills?

Heres some photos of a Silencer talk members setup that I am very envious of.

pretty sneaky, but I just have the press mounted to a board and then I use c-clamps to mount to the bar when I need to load

Cabnets are ordered. I can get them finished from a local guy cheaper than buying unfinished bottoms and doing it myself.


Lawman, that a good group from 50 feet...
