My new reloading bench

[97th Signalman]

I started back into reloading about two months ago after a 40 year pause. I got alot of help with my equipment and process decisions from you guys as well as some others on a couple other forums.

I am now reloading .38 special, .45 ACP, 30-30, 30-40, .308, .300 Savage, .223, .303 Brit., 6.5 Swede, and .30-06. In the future I will probably reload 9mm Luger and 7.63 Mauser pistol.

Here are some photos of my set up and the bench that I built:

Looks great.

I just went and bought a metal workbench with the wood top at SEARs. I think Dillon was selling some put together yourself wood reloading bench for some outrageous price.

My craftsman unit was a great value, but it doesn't have the benchtop shelving like you made.

Is that bench bolted to the floor?

How is the craftsman? I plan to get that as well for my reloading bench?

No, it's not bolted to the floor. It is very solid and stable as it is. I built to be heavy and took pains to make it very square and plumb.

Great! Cheap and easy. Load the drawers down with your reloading stuff and it's plenty solid. I use the Dillon strong mount on top of the bench.

Thanks! I plan on getting the 550 with the strong mount as well.

I've been using this bench for the past 25 years, although it's become more crowed as the years have gone by.
