[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1797976, member: 313"] I've put some 20amp lines/service in my home when remodeling. None of it was ever needed and just a waste of time and money. 12ga wire is a bit more difficult to work with in tight boxes. When remodeling the kitchen I just used additional 15amp lines to prevent overloading in a room where that is more likely. I'm not familiar with the issue the RHOVEE (above) mentioned but, given the possibility, I would run a 15amp line for the outlets and another for lights , etc. That would give you the best of both worlds. FWIW - my reloading room is in the basement of my 50 year old home. All of my reloading equipment (scales, dispenser, case prep tools, etc) all run off a single, original 15amp electric outlet. I have never had any problems. I could easily add a dedicated line for my reloading needs but have never found it to be necessary. It's never a bad idea to play it safe by using a qualified electrician, particularly when working off the main. [/QUOTE]
