Yes and no. More space means we get more stuff, thus we always need more room!

Re: lets see your loading shop
Just getting it set up after the big move. This was last week. It has come further toward being organized since then... AND I have loaded several boxes of .30-30 for my 94 Trapper.

I ain't showin' as mine is a cluttered up mess!
Re: lets see your loading shop
I got about two layers of BS all over it from trying to put away stuff from the rest of the room. I even got a Dillon 550 a buddy gifted me that's still sittin' in a box (Not that I know how to set it up, anyway). The goal this winter, and there's a nice shooting club 20 minutes away that I want to join.

Blue painted presses are the S#*? ! I started with a Square Deal, upgraded to a 550b, then bought the SL900.

Re: lets see your loading shop
I use the rcbs rock crusher for rifle and the 2 lee's for pistol because of the turrets and the powder on top too.I have a nice picture of it all set up loading 30/30 but cant find it on photo bucket.I made a nice steel table that bolts to the wall and steel legs to the floor 30 years ago and that table has been in almost every room in the house and garage since.You caN write your # on it with a soap stone so not to forget while loading then wipe it off for next time.
I SEE WE ALL USE COFFEE CANS A LOT TOO...
LETS SEE SOME MORE I KNOW THERE MESSY THAT'S THE FUN PART.OR WILL MAKE YOU CLEAN UP FOR THE PICTURE AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER TOO.

You had a work of art compared to where mine has devolved. I time or three, I've un-buried a few essentials, and the Lee Hand Press, and taken them to the coffee table.

Re: lets see your loading shop
The old press is a Hollywood Gun Shop that was my grandfather's. My uncle gave it to me when my dad told him I had started reloading. I use it for all my rifle ammunition and a few hand gun rounds I don't make a lot of like .455 Webely, .44-40, etc. It's a real crusher if your not paying attention. The thing is massive.
I love the RCBS powder scale. I bought on of the early ones and had to send it in for repairs a couple times, when they couldn't or wouldn't fix it the last time they gave me a refund and I bought this one. Haven't had any issues with the new one. Don't even know how long I've had it now. I'd have a tough time going back to a balance beam.

Re: lets see your loading shop
I think your the man so far on loading rooms.you have the stuff all set up nice neat and rite at hand.
i think your the leader off the pack so far.
I got a webley 455 uncut and a cut cyl 1 of each.I was wanting to get into loading for it.
keep telling myself i am getting some dies and brass and never do.
about time i do,since I'm not getting any younger.Have let dies go by several times.But i don't even shoot the cut 1 with the moon clip 45 auto after i repaired 1 for a guy with a bid bulged in the barrel from a stuck round.afraid to mess the thing up.
better put that on my list.It looks like the scroll from a Romain movie now.
my 92 year young buddy had about 10 old monster presses in his shop under the bench and buys every 1 he sees at gun shows and has not reloaded a bullet in 20 years or so.I got a hernia carring the last 1 in from the car.
jimt you could load tank shells in the space your setting up,nice big room
same with griff you got a nice big bench to work from and everything lined up nice too.
gunnymac your bench looks just like my rcbs bench its there somewhere and has everything you need if you can
dig it out.
same with you hair trigger you must be skinny or don't do much breathing sq eased in there with all your stuff,but still a impressive setup.
I think you guys that are holding out should buck up and ether clean it up or picture it as is.we all want to see what you got.
Thanks to all who showed there junk and maned up to it messy or not. well done!!

Re: lets see your loading shop
Seems like every time I decide to clean up the benches I get side tracked... So it's just easier to make a hole at the press I'm going to use and load when the time comes.
My SL900 is probably the best set up, just enough room for wads and the press. It sits on an old welding bench that one of my shop teachers in high school was throwing out. It's rigged up so loaded shotgun shells slide down a ramp through a shot bag and fall into a 20mm ammo can.
A clean bench is the sign of a sick mind!

Re: lets see your loading shop
Well it isn't that organized right now. I've been down there all afternoon and it's still a mess! I did find several bullet molds that I'd forgotten I'd bought. There's also a couple that my uncle gave me last summer that also belonged to my grandfather. There's a double cavity Cramer .357 wad cutter that I've fired thousands of bullets that it's made. There's also a couple sinker molds that were his that I'll probably never use but it's cool to have them.

Here's mine. That thing my press is mounted on is a homemade router table I bought at a garage sale. Added some reinforcement to it and it does not move when you pull the lever.

and yes i have a garage full of old + new tools i collected over the years also like 20 vices tire machines welders torches bars mikes gauges pipe wrenches 30 years of old stuff.
i had a anvil that was over 200 pound and left it out side and it came up gone. must have been a big guy took it or a bunch of midgets it was like 300lbs.biggest 1 i ever seem. came from a old steel mill i helped take down.
i got like 14 wood stoves too have then with flowers growing out and in the house for decoration stored in sheds
junk seemed to just come to me all my life. when you own property and people don't and have stuff they cant store i seem to end up with it.I call it a gift my wife calls it a curse .

Re: lets see your loading shop
Not much too it but here it is. I mostly reload .45 colt and .38spl. I used to own a couple Dillon machines (550 and 650) but got out of reloading for a while. I recently picked back up and started so I made this bench one weekend so I could have a place again. Will take me a while to get back to even where I was and that was no where near the awesomeness I see is some of your photos.
