Building the Perfect Reloading Room

The room seems to be only get smaller. I thought 16’x8’ would be sufficient. I never had everything in the same place until now, so I miscalculated lol.

Just built the powder shelf, planned on 1 8’ shelf, then kept finding more powder. So 2 8’ shelves with 3 3’ shelves later it’s in the room

It is amazing to me how a reloading bench/room can evolve so dramatically. I have a small 6x10 "gun room" where i did casual reloading and then after getting into precision long range competitions and supporting 4 different calibers for competition as well as a few others for casual shooting, i quickly outgrew the room. Like here, I have accumulated a dozen different powders, shelves of primers (pistol and rifle) dies, cleaning equipment, not to mention the press, trimmer, annealer, arbor press.... and on and on and on...

someday i want to grow up and have a room like yours

I appreciate that. I would recommend whatever size you think you’ll need, go bigger. I’ve always heard that about shops, but I thought I knew how much stuff I had reloading wise. I was mistaken
