Reloading Bench Set-Ups

[Savage 12BVSS]

That's what I was looking for, some ideas to expand operations some. I have plenty of room on the left side if I move the tall lamp, that's what I should do...an L-shape bench. The tracks sound good but I'm afraid that I'm a creature of habit and like each piece to stay in the same position, guess that's a personal preference and maybe a shortcoming. I don't use the barrel and action vise enough to need it at the left corner, easy to swap out barrels but once I get one shooting I hate to change anything, another quirk I guess. It can go at the end of extension, I just went down and measured and its an L-shape for sure with what I got to work with. Its a tiny room in an older house that was made for a kids room, one of my boys used it when we first moved in years ago. With two windows and all my deer horns on the other useable wall its a no-brainer. Funny I can build what I need but I live here and couldn't see it, wow a winter project for me. Thanks for ideas and suggestions, I may have it done before forester starts to ship presses Dave

Go to the Pinterest website. They have some great ideas. I have a reloading room but it's not fit for public viewing.

I have a reloading closet, lol!

one thing about your closet is there isn't enough room to leave things laying around, it would get cluttered way too fast, bigger isn't always better!

Can buy a blank plate from Inline Fab to bolt the vise to as well. I resisted buying (vs. building) for a while, but I needed to make it happen and I was far from having a design that I thot would do what I needed it to do. So I bought the Inline stuff thinking if it didn't work for me that I could re-sell it. It does work, so I'm keeping and expanding with it.

@iShoot17 ;
You got any pics of your t-track? I had posted about 6 months ago,looking for something tidy for my new bench (pic inserted). I had this thing built out of solid 6065 Aluminum in square tube and channel. It's big at 6' wide so I have room for some tracks!

I don't have any since I updated the bench some! I'll try to remember to snag some this evening!

Here's mine.

Some of these have definitely been photoshopped!

Hopefully, within the next year, we will be finishing our basement and part of that will be my reloading/gun room. So I have been watching for ideas for a new reloading bench as well as the rest of the room. I am considering an L-shaped bench with T-track. I also need to work out handy storage for things I use the most frequently. I am thinking about pegboard but I'm also looking for something better. I always hated grabbing a tool from pegboard and getting the hanger as well.

Not a fix all solution but magnetic tool strips work well for some of these requirements.

I put mag strips ON my pegboard. Have yet to pull a hanger off the pegboard, but if/when that happens I'll Safety Wire* it so it can't happen again.

*If you haven't found Safety Wire pliers and the spools of wire you're in for a treat. I keep a set of these and a spool of .032" wire in every off-pavement capable vehicle, and the good set of pliers in the shop.

Here's pics of both sides of my room. One for gun cleaning other side for reloading. I also have a couch and chair in there for lounging, and... have locks on both sides of the door for obvious reasons. Lol

This reminds me of Burt off of the movie Tremours, and I like it.

I always thought the guy playing Burt deserved a Oscar! Lol

Mainly because I'm partial to guns. Hahaha
