Worst Loading Bench Shambles On TFL - Page 2

Ok I vote for cracked butt too. The clock was the crown of that table. If you look close half of the numbers do not work.

I ask you this....What reloading bench is complete without a torch and a broken digital alarm clock??

Barr · January 12, 2006, 04:44 PM

A new twist....Burning Sacrifices to the God of Timex

Actually you only see the front row, there's an additional 6 or 7 boxes behind those out of view. You might get the idea I love Laser-Cast.

I use them in 9mm, .357/.38, .40, .44 and .45 (Colt and ACP) calibers.

For my 1911, I use both 230 RN, and one of my favorites, the 155 SWCBB. The 155 is extremely accurate; it's like taking a .452" paper punch and going to work on the center of a target - very neat holes.

The hard part with them is finding the optimum OAL. That turned out to more difficult than usual.

In .44 Magnum, the L-C 300 gr. TC's makes some real slammers. Great for hunting.

LOL! I can't keep myself from going back and looking at that pic again and again. It's like a bad car crash, replete with body parts and general carnage; you just cannot help but look and look again as you go by.

Cracked Butt, that pic might just become my screensaver........

BILLY D. · January 13, 2006, 04:17 AM

cracked butt

your stealing my thunder son. i thought i was the only one with a torch on my loading bench. your bench is also neater than mine but i have a cleanup campaign coming up this weekend.

i'm a pig at heart.:barf: just call me pig pen.

If this was properly exposed, it might come is as a tie or close second to CB's entry! The bench looks better today,This pic was 3 years ago), because of the addition of shelving above the bench to organize the empty shell boxes. I'll take another pic tonight of a better organized mess!

snuffy · January 15, 2006, 04:36 PM

Here's the other two corners of the small bedroom I call paridise. Both have lots more "stuff" on them now, but are FAIRLY well organized.

American4guns · January 15, 2006, 05:13 PM

Capt your a neatnick.your setup was almost pretty.all the little boxes in thier little box community lol.Actually i'm just jealous. And CB LMFAO when i saw that pile of rubble,i concur the clock was the topper lol.Did i sell that to you at my garage sale this summer?

LOL i'm almost sure theres a old ham sandwhich to the right of those 2 pepsi cans in CB's pic.lol what a freakin mess!!!

kingudaroad · January 16, 2006, 05:44 PM

See snuffy, the problem here is everything in your mess seems to be reloading stuff. I will grant you second place status, but until you can get some real unreloading related trash in there your not going to hang with the cracked butts of the world.

snuffy · January 17, 2006, 01:39 PM

Dang, I thought the priority mail boxes might do it, oh well! I guess I'll just have to clean up real good, then try for the neatest reloading bench award!

WIN71 · January 18, 2006, 11:46 PM

This must be why I have always been advised not to shoot someone elses reloads!!!

Plated · January 19, 2006, 12:59 AM

I have to to agree with WIN71....

Not that I can't make a mistake....but my bench is clean and organized to at least help prevent mix up issues

I don't see how any term can describe that other than "Wow!".

That's what happens when Bill Gates decides to get into shooting and reloading.

Duh.

Plated · January 21, 2006, 12:53 AM

I have never even dreamed of a setup like that......the power of imagination, knowledge, and the money to get there

I could not load for the distraction of the view

impact · January 21, 2006, 01:02 AM

WOW! I guess if you have the money. I can only wish.

woof, that is a serious setup.

**Mal H** · January 21, 2006, 04:39 PM

After looking at (read: "drooling at") that thread again, I see that Hammer and I started out the same - a Lee tool and a hammer!

(... and that ends any similarity.)

Edward429451 · January 21, 2006, 05:04 PM

Wow indeed, hammer's setup is...uh, wow.

And to think my wife thinks I have too much stuff. I gotta show her that later.

Luv that shootin tube.
