    Reloading bench set ups

    I've just got a hold of a really sturdy bench that i'm going to drill to fit press and powder measure but am undecided on where to put everything?

    Anybody keen to post a photo of your reloading set up? I'll get a photo of my current one up shortly.

    being left or right handed will be the deciding feature.

    I'm right handed and have my press set on the left hand side of the bench leaving the righthand side for everything else.

    cheers

    i have powder measure on left space in middle for scales/cases/prep area then press on right
    also handy if you get a helper, one to measure one to load

    My press is on the right and im right handed. Would seem very unco to me to load the press with my right hand and operate it with my left.

Size:  87.8 KBThis is my current set up and the desk. Note the water on the floor in the first photo as the bloody shed leaks like a sieve. New set up is going inside into the spare room though still storing the powder and such outside in shed (as per law). Green stand is for powder thrower, which leaves left of bench for work. I keep all my tools in an ammo container as the shed is seldom below 80% humidity.Does anyone have a good set up for their powder measure?

    That would be super handy if my shed wasn't so leaky
