Here is my finally finished bench with all presses in their proper places.

The left side, showing a Dillon 550B under wraps. A slightly out-of-focus CH "444" is at the right edge of the pic.

Looking slightly right you see the "444", along with a Vega Tools B&M clone powder measure in back, a Quick-Measure in front, and a Hollywood Senior (2nd pattern) at the right.

The middle of the bench. From right to left are a pair of Dunbar "H" presses, and the Senior.

And at the far right, I have a Hollywood Senior Turret (8-stations), a Hollywood Universal Model-B Turret (12-stations), and in back is a Hollywood Universal Model-III Deluxe (12-stations) with three turrets.

I haven't mentioned it before, but old presses never come with a way to catch spent primers. I fixed this by adding a brass fitting to the bottom of the H-Ram on the Model-B, and screwing a 1/2" hose to it that lead to a plastic dog biscuit box. No more spent primers on the floor.

I keep thinking I'm gonna organize this mess some day, It gives me something to look forward to.

JLA · 02-02-2011, 09:14 AM

Been sittn home due to enclement weather so I been turnin out .30-06s and .380s. Gonna start on 9mm today if I dont get to go to work...

Heres the bench as it sits right now..

todd51 · 02-02-2011, 09:45 AM

Got to steal your idea with the wrenches and hack off a couple. Neat idea and beats my Crescent wrench wrench with is always adjusted to the wrong size.

Texxut · 02-02-2011, 09:46 AM

I was just thinking that too.

JLA · 02-02-2011, 09:26 PM

pawn shop baby!!! I got all 3 of those wrenches for like 4 bucks. 1 1/8" for seating the dies on the press, 3/4" and 1/2" for die adjustment...

I used to use a rusty ol crescent too.

woolleyworm · 03-11-2011, 12:41 AM

Bumped this one for Madbuck to see. I will be starting on my new room sometime in April, just can't wait to get that new ac unit onsite and the old one gone. Then the room is all mine!

woolleyworm · 03-16-2011, 09:39 AM

Latest pic, it's getting there. Still have remodeling going on and haven't had much time to tinker. Did get the strong mount bolted to the bench though; it's STOUT !

Kieran McCaig · 03-16-2011, 10:20 AM

Mine looks like a bomb went off in it,but since the move and the honey do list I can't get around to setting it up right.

garydude · 05-14-2011, 02:57 PM

Well I've taken more of a minimalist approach to space usage for my reloading needs. I can roll the table in the garage to where I need it to reload, and then push it out of the way when done.

I was given my father's equipment about a year ago, and finally got around to sprucing it up a bit. The most interesting thing I have is the table itself, it's from a major newspaper in the desert southwest, and was used to transport huge rolls of newsprint. It's sturdy indeed, with the top being 1/2 inch steel. I keep my dies, calipers, etc. in the box below, and keep the primers, powder and manuals inside my abode where it's climate controlled.

As a side note, I did try to find out more about the company that produced the table, but got nada on google searches. I did also google the address and found an empty lot

So if anyone happens to know more of the manufacturers of this table, I would love to hear it!

Here's mine. Wife and I share a 12 X 16 building, I reload and she does flower arrangements.

Some of you guys put me to shame

gcalloway · 10-03-2011, 02:35 PM

I built mine from scratch out of 4X4's and 3/4 inch marine plywood I coverd the top with oak 2X10's the overall diminsion is 48" W X 38" Deep 48" high. It is workable with a bar stool or standing. darn thing is so heavy it take at least 2 people to move it.

duffman77087 · 10-03-2011, 11:51 PM

Hey everyone,
This is my set-up as for now. I have only been reloading for about a month, and I still haven't built my reloading bench yet. So for now I'm using my work bench and have loaded 300 30-30's, 150 30 Carbine's, 50 .38 Special's, and 100 9MM's. Soon I will get some up to date reloading equipment and get into the new millennium.

duffman77087 · 10-03-2011, 11:53 PM

A few more of the outside.

duffman77087 · 10-03-2011, 11:56 PM

The last 4 of the outside, on the last pic is where the reloading bench will go when I make it.

duffman77087 · 10-04-2011, 12:01 AM

Here are also a few pics of my Ammo Room/Gun Room/Reloading Supply Room. I know I need more guns...

More to come when I get my current guns up to speed on the ammo. I have only been saving the ammo for about a month and a half now so I'm proud of what I currently have.

duffman77087 · 10-04-2011, 12:02 AM

Last pic of the room.

AAAAAA The OLD Hollywood press my dad taught me how to reload on That single stage Hollywood. They are great presses.

tat2d_diver · 10-04-2011, 06:41 PM

Here's mine. Pretty simple and straight forward. Oh, and my trusty helper dog wanted to be in the pic also.

1in9twist · 10-18-2011, 12:24 AM

gun-nut · 10-18-2011, 07:25 AM
