Got a half a day to read posts? Then go here;

Over 500 posts to that thread over at THR, if you can't come up with an idea from that thread, you're hopeless.

I see Jeff already had that one, well it's THE place to get some ideas.

Here's a couple of Pictures of mine:



Here's a unique idea that I came up with for the Dillon XL650 Tool heads:



The mounts slide out so that you have easy access to the ones in the back.

Bench

I just moved into a new place. Here is a picture of my new bench. I have given a lot of thought to my bench, and am very happy with it. I know it is messy, and I only have about 2/3 of my stuff mounted. But it shows the bench very well. I still have to mount my other press. Tom.

I'll toss out a few . . .

My casting table



Work area on the table for cleaning the long guns, sorting ingots, casting prep, lubing boolits, general gun/reloading stuff.



My area for checking load data, recording load data, note-taking and cleaning my hand guns



The drawers and cabinet underneath the bench--this is where I keep my "ready to load" boolits, and I keep my most frequently used dies, tools and equipment in the drawers. The less frequently used stuff is stored in cabinets in the shop.

My reloading setup in my garage

As you can see, I like Dillon and RCBS a lot. My Dillon 650 is set up for 9MM and .223 while the 550 Dillon is setup for 44 Magnum.

Jim T, I think im gonna fabricate up some of those T and L handles for my reloaders. Looks like they make life alot easier. I just gotta figure out how to get my recliner, tv and refrigerator positioned so I can pull them. I keep pointing to stuff in the pics and showing my wife but she keeps hiding the credit cards on me.lol
