Yeow! I see some fine looking loading benches there! I've been working on organizing mine for the last few weeks. Still have a long way to go before I can compare to the least organized I see pictured here. I'm thinking it might help us all to share some of our storage methods. For example: I use 45 cal ammo cans to store primers. Currently use one each for small rifle, large rifle, small pistol, and large pistol.. I have small batches of brass in clear plastic peanut butter jars. Larger batches of brass go in plastic coffee cans. I have these large plastic bins to segregate and store parts. There is a S&W bin, 1911 bin, FA bin, Ruger grips and grip frame bin and a Ruger small parts bin.. Tiny parts go in plastic medicine bottles. Dad found these stainless steel containers at a flea market that I use to organize bullets as I cast and size them..

I took over the entire room for reloading. It is a small room. Looking South is my shelf and scales. Looking West is my main bench with the two presses. On the end of the bench is where I lube and size some cast bullets. Looking North is another bench and some storage. Looking East is some more shelves with dies and powder and odds and ends. Nothing fancy, but it works and is fairly clean. Steve

You can tell a real pro, you have to see his reloading room from compass points. I like it Call Shot! ;D ;D ;D

Lee, I really like the photos on the wall of your room. You guys have made me feel comfortable about how messy my reloading room is! That thing in the middle of the room causing the traffic jam is my portable bench:

It's cluttered but I know where every thing is.

This is what works for me. Certainly nothing fancy. Just an old Lyman All American that I got used for $60 clamped to the dining room table when I want to use it. Stores out fo the way nicely when I'm done.

Holy smokes, I'd be found dead in the backyard if I brought reloading equipment into the house like that!

Sorry, cell phone pic. This is my bench. It's usually fairly clean, which is easy because i don't own much stuff. I'll be building a new bech soon, this one isn't performing well. And the light switch is on the wall behind the pegboard. It's worked for a few hundred rounds, but it'll need some updating after the holidays. Edit: Looks like i'm loading .38spc in the pic. The little dish(lid) next to the scale is Unique. My electronic measure is awesome for 2400 and h110, but it struggles with Unique. However, i have learned exactly how big of a pinch is 2-4 tenths of powder, and i can top off the pan to the exact charge quicker than the scale can meter it. Works like a charm. Here's the whole bench and 80% of my reloading components. I also need to update my chair. It's just a few inches too short.

Sure is a lot of "Blue" on those benches. Frank

I started out with this setup when I lived in a small apartment. When I got a house, I stuck with it, just leave it set up in a spare bedroom.
