    Reloading room and equipment upgrade - basically finished.

    An update to my previous post on upgrading my reloading equipment and room: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....st-step-84689/

    Haven't really taken progress pics but finished two solid tables with rata frame and solid beech top and it kind of snowballed from there...
    Decided to make a set of drawers for storage and to have cleaning station.
    Then decided to make a small rifle rack for setting down rifles on when getting stuff ready for the range or hunting.
    Then decided to make some solid macrocarpa shelves to store the components in for easy access.
    Then made a stand and organised for the small tools, equipment, and books on the main desk.

    Main desk - set up with the main press, powder thrower and a mount for the case trimmer.

    Second press - a lee press permanently set up for depriming which keeps the main press clean, and the Dillon Square Deal-B for pumping out the 44-40 when I've been having it running hot. Lee press gets dismounted for using the Dillon. Super quick to remove and move things around with the threaded inserts in the table.

    Set of drawers with the surface covered with neoprene for cleaning.
    Cleaning road rack on the left side of the shelves.

    Pretty happy about the set up so far. A few more things to sort out but already loaded up a whole bunch of 45-70 black powder missiles and the rigidity of the tables is amazing.
