    Reloading area

    I brought a computer desk of trade me a while back. I’ve cleared my bench in the workshop finally and set up the desk
    Dedicated to reloading. Also had the opportunity to stocktake while I was at it. Pleasantly surprised at the inventory on hand.

    Looks good

    You seem to be over stocked in 2225 and 7mm projectiles

    Better send those my way!

    Nice looking auto thrower there
    Just got my bench set up again so good to be back
    Unfortunately I've loaded up enough rounds to last me a while so probably won't need to load anymore for at least a year......will keep stock piling powder, pills and primers though....nothing worse than being caught short

    possibly might be good idea to put heftier piece of timber between press and bench top...maybe decent thickness of plywood?? when you get a sticky case there is fair bit of force applied, breaking front off desk could be very messy...components all over the show.

    Thought about it. It’s pretty bloody sturdy for a $20 trade me desk. Will take the punt then reassess if there is stress fractures

    Nice setup, I found when using my chargemaster if I was seating projectiles while next one was measuring ou the bump from operating the press would give me overcharge. I mounted it to wall independent of bench to avoid that, alternative is be really fast and get projectile seated before it gets to trickle stage then sit still

    Nice set up and good stock of components.

    Having a stock of powder in the current situation gives me the guilts a bit.

    p.s. Not so guilty that I will give in to requests though
