Thread: Show us your reloading bench

How the hell did he know that!!. Hi Dermastor, I`v knocked up a Hawken plains rifle and a Quigley Sharps, posted on here.

That's a great set of repurposed drawers. What sort of gear do you turn out from you workshop? Its always interesting to know what other guys here make.

A good cook off of live rounds I have seen when on national service, At the bren gun range loading up the 32 round mags, the amo came in round cardboard tubes with six round containers holding sixty rounds each of.303 amo. Tear off the top lid, dump out the containers and all the cardboard scrap was put on a fire. Yep, some twit left two sixty rounds containers in and on the fire it went, a pause till they got red hot and all hell broke out. Some guys got hot bullets down the neck or bits of hot brass casing, but most got the hell out of there.

Reminds me: Me and my old man were at a local Guy Fawkes night thing in suburban Johannesburg in the mid 90's. Some drunk twat started thumbing 9mm rounds off his magazine into the big bonfire for a laugh, while a zillion kids were running around. He was argumentative earlier in the evening, so from memory someone dropped him with a pick axe handle.

Guess that slowed him up a bit I'd have broken both his thumbs that would have had the same effect

Thought I would show my current bench. My wife and I are renting a very small 2 bedroom flat while we wait for our house to be built. Space is at a premium and I cant set up any where permanently so here's my solution. Thought it may show guys that want to get into it or try it you don't need a state of the art bench or amazing garage. This system works well, if it's cold or raining I put on some music and start producing or if it's sunny I use the table outside and listen to music and drink beer while I am reloading

Thanks for showing us your man corner Viper. We look forward to seeing your expanded version when you get you place built. What part of town are you going to be moving into. One of those nice areas out past the beetle paddocks in amongst the pines?

Haha, nah got a lake side section at Pisa Moorings, looking straight over the lake and up the Dunstans, can't bloody wait, your a long way away to know about this area mate.

Thought I already share mine but I will do again before I move house next week...

the bulk of my gear is kept in a shipping container . . powder, bullets, dies and assorted hunting/shooting stuff



the actual reloading gets done here, a bit tight for space but good enough for the time being .. . R

Only the sign comes from Oregon got it a few years ago when I was up in Oregon, as my wife has family there.
The hut was here when I brought the property, it's and old Forest Service hut almost like the one I spent 2 yrs living in when I done my Forestry training in the mid 70's, didn't plan to put so many photos on but am just learning how to post them, so will need more practice.

Here's my setup
I'm new to reloading having loaded a few hundred rounds on my mates setup decided I needed my own. Just measuring up bits and pieces
Using Nathan Fosters book, great resource. Have to mount the press on a bit of 6x2 to be able to put it away so my 3 yr old doesn't Tutu with it. Need to figure out how I'll mount the powder thrower next.
Awesome to see everyone's kit. I'll get there one day. Currently have 308 and 7mm08 I'm loading for
Looking to get a load going for 110gr ZMax in the 308. I really find it satisfying
Cheers
Dan

@i41do2 thanks for sharing mate. Your right it is very satisfying making up a brew of ammo with everything just right. Good on ya. Your collection of gear will slowly expand.
