reloading area

[Jester896]

Every hear of inline probucts?

Those suggestions work well!

I like them and use InLine Fabrication item. I have one elevated and one flush mount. My T7, Rockchucker, Dillon swagger Co-Axand Harrell's measure are all on QC tops. There seems like there may be something else too. I also you several other of their items along with tool head holders for the Dillon and MEC items.

I use Sterilite see through smaller stackable containers and even have some shoe box sized ones, also stackable.

So im putting together my gun / reloading area . I have a 12 ' wide by 6' deep area im constructing into a closet with a barn style door to close it off . It will have countertop high bench for standing or stool . Plenty of lighting and outlets for stuff . What are the things you guys have wish you would have added to your reloading rooms ? Thanks for any replies , pictures would be great !

Handloader Magazine's channel on YouTube has some suggestions for set ups.

Well I don't use shoe boxes. I do have a couple of clear plasctic containers that hold 30 or small boxes, and I set one up to hold my sizing dies. I use 5 and 7 gal storage boxes black and yellow lids that smap down. I built racks to hold those boxes apart so I can get them out without having to unstack them. Label them to know what's in there. The only probable now it the printer tape doesn't want to stay stuck to the lids. I have other areas to store my equipment in Inline mounts. All my other equipment has there plates to switch them onto my bench.
1 thing is if you go to the black and yellow lid boxes. Besure you figure just how many you need and get them all at once. Lowes and HomeDot get them in all the time, but from other supplers. So they can be some difference between them. I found that out the hard way.
I started on a quest to update my reloading equipment a couple years back. Sure did that. Like to ran myself out of house and home. With all the shortages that was going on, and party still is. I am made sure I was well stocked up.
Looked it up. Go the Pinterest.com. It will kind of show you what I am talking about in stacking black & yellow storage boxes.

Go as big as you can, or you'll pay the price later and not get it back. If doing casting you want ventilation and exhaust fan. make room for extra press etc. Electrical outlets use at least a 12 line all my lines are 10's/3 so I can go 220 at any time and not worry about loads. I don't want to go into walls to changs i do it once and not worry. Also I ran Cat 6 cable for just in case . Good luck with your loading room.

Casting bullets I have an area to do that outside. I wouldn't even think about doing that in an enclosed area. Open air only.

I only melt lead for fishing sinkers out in open air WITH a fan going as well to blow fumes away. I have no plans to cast bullets.

I have molds for fishing weights also, and for about every bullets califber made. I haven't used the bullet molds. They are for a rainy day. Also the equipmemt to work the bullets over.

Right now that is how I view my reloading equipment with the way things are going. I only have dies for calibers I own.

New York State banned the sale of smaller sizes of lead fishing sinkers many years ago. I buy the very small split shot in PA, since the performance of the commercial product excels what I my molds turn out.
