Jumping into reloading feet first. pic of my bench

[Tonmarchelli]

ive been shooting for a little while now and thought to optimize on my accuracy, and in time (hopefully) save a little money, i'd get into reloading. gathered everything together over the last few months and finally got it all put together. became a hornady guy. seems they are a good medium between quality and price and the local cabelas has everything I need from them.

The biggies are:

Home made bench
Hornady AP progressive press
Hornady case trimmer and scale
cabelas tumbler (in garage)
hornady reloading manual
all the other bits and pieces.

loaded my first 20 rounds today. lots of fun so far.

Sorry to tell you, but that bench is soon to be way too small.

The 'A' side on that plywood looks really nice!

That was the first thing I was thinking. I am always looking for more space.

Kinda wish I did what you did merely because of the leg space underneath. Instead I stumbled upon this at lowes, built in light and power strip sold me

If you're looking for leg space, simply add on an oversized top. Doesn't have to stick over much and would be easy to bolt down to the existing top.

Start looking for cabinets. They're a great addition to a reloading setup.

It's a great start.

Here's my start, A crate in a townhouse.

And 2 minutes ago,almost 10 years.

That is exactly what I did with the same bench in the pic. I don't have the exact specs but I used 3/4" plywood mounted to the existing top. I think I have 6" of overhang on both sides and the front and it works like a charm!

This ^. I have a 6x3 ft bench and once you have 5 calibers going with brass in multiple stages of prep that is barely enough.

I feel like i have to print a schedule for my tumbler at times at times. Lol.

NICE!!, and i thought my current set up was a joke. Your crate setup blows mine out of the water.

I am in a small apartment and have little space and or money for a nice table so i definitely went the cheap custom route but it is a table and not a crate sooo i think i got you there.

whatever works though
