WOW!
This is the mother of all reloading rooms. I dont think I have ever seen a setup this big anywhere except a factory. Maybe he is even on this board with another log in name.

I cry when I see mine. Oh well. Mine works for me.

That's an amazing setup, especially the part about being able to test your loads through a sound-reducing channel and accross the chronographs without even leaving the shed!
Very nice setup. That makes my little corner of the basement look pretty pathetic. I need to show that to the wife and mabey she won't think I spend too much anymore. :rolleyes:

The guy abviously has more money and time than he knows what to do with. :rolleyes: Probably doesn't have any friends or a wife and kids :rolleyes:
I'd go freaking nuts trying to keep all that stuff organized. I'm plumb happy with my little corner of the basement. I can get in enough trouble in the little space I have

Don't feel too bad; my "reloading room" is in the CLOSET in our spare room. My bench is about 2'X3". Fold up the stool and lean it against the bench, close the door and it disappears!

I know some forks don't advertise that they are a shooter.......but a "closet reloader"? :)

Too funny!!! :p
Well, ID - you got me beat! :D
My gunroom is a converted ceramics shop the former owner had built. About 6'x12' with built-in shelves. At the end I normally work at and do the reloading, I can swivel on one foot and reach practically anything I need! :p

Perhaps we should give more attention to reloading benches and shop layout in this forum. An exchange of ideas and designs would help us all to make better use of our limited space.
For 27 years I shared my reloading space with my Shopsmith woodworking shop. The addition of a dust collector helped, but I was continually cleaning up dust on my reloading bench and shelves. Now that I'm retiring, and have moved to both Gainesville, FL and Michigan's U.P., I have an opportunity to create two shops, and to eliminate a lot of the problems and ineficiencies of the past. In the U.P. I'll even have a 200 meter range on my property.
Don't be dismayed if you have to reload in a space as small as a closet. I've done that also. One helpful tip I can offer is to mount all your tools on 7" x 11" 3/4 inch plywood mounting plates. Four 1/4" carriage bolts in each corner attaches the tool to the bench. This way you can quickly remove the four wing nuts under the bench and interchange tools such as shotshell loader and "C" press. I've even expanded this system to the woodworking bench, mounting my bench grinder and vise on the same 7" x 11" plates. This will also make it easier to take tools North or South as needed.

What, too cheap to cover over the chipboard?!! Good grief, I'd sure like to have a setup like this, and the acreage for the shooting range.

Nice setup but I'm with Recoil, more money and time than he knows what to do with. Does someone really need 10+ reloading presses???
WOW!! what a neat place to live... i think he has too many presses too.. but to each his own i guess.. if i ever win the powerball lottery i have thought about having an indoor range built....... i could shoot all winter that way.. i do shoot my air rifles more in the winter than anything else.....

My "reloading room" doubles as my bedroom...and my office. I simply set up on a utility table in the room, which I also use for work purposes (and take down and store everything in my walk-in closet).
An incredible handloading facility....but I am more fascinated with the surroundings. I would dearly LOVE to have some land like that.

Everything I reload on is a small bench I found in the back of my garage that was here when I moved in. I don't have any room in said garage, so my table pulls out from behind my bed. Theres nothing wrong with having 10+ presses, I doubt anyone here can say they reload for over 100 calibers.

I'm mostly jealous of the land he had to work with. It would be heaven just to walk out the front door to my own, private range. I reload in my garage (just one Rockchucker, thank you) and drive about an hour to the nearest range. --Mykal

I agree with last speaker/writer....
Think about to have the chans to test shoot your new loads from your window, to check if it was correct.
Now I have to take the car and drive about 10km to try my new loads....
