    Building it with my 2 boys and finally being able to reload...PRICELESS

    Since I'm a newb to reloading , I haven't fully hooked up case feeder or bullet feeder. I want to get the feel of each step of reloading process down first. I'll hook them up when I find the pet loads for each caliber I'm shooting.

    Had a few glitches with missing parts and bad QC, but Hornady CS sent out replacements no questions asked. Horandy stands behind their products.

    Huge thanks again to ZombieSteve and Steve for taking time to help out a newb!

    Reposting pics of my reloading bench because I didn't see this link. I realize the bench is super clean, but I've only been reloading for 4 days. I probably should've started on a single stage, but go big or go home is my motto. Gotta give Hornady some respect. Once you tweak the press she's smooth. Even my 13 and 10 year old are starting to crank out ammo with my supervision. Kind of blind leading the blind.

    Here is a pic of my setup....built the bench by modifying plans to some found online here ----> http://www.shotgunsportsmagazine.com...ench_plans.pdf

    I have plans for another bench on the opposite wall for takedown/cleaning of my firearms and misc other things. The wall to the left of the bench has shelves for my processed brass sorted by caliber. Behind the door I have two tumblers that I use to clean brass up. I like having them behind the door to reduce sound when reloading and to keep the dust out of the "cave" when sorting.

    Here's my new bench, opted for a nicer laminate counter top so I can use if for things other than just reloading. Also, took Jim's advice and used c-clamps to bolt a board to the bench that has the press mounted to it, works perfectly!

    I will eventually be putting a plywood shelf on the bottom 2x4s, as well as changing the top cabinet (that's a rickety pos that the previous owner left out there). Loaded up 50rds on it this afternoon with the press like that and it works perfectly!

    Small but meets my needs for now. I have dies for my .45, .223 and .308. When I get more space I will add another dillon for just the rifles and another for shotgun.

    I don't have a bench or a reloading room, yet, but all my stuff arrived at approximately the same time. it's like Christmas around here!

ID:	33655 Here is my reload room. Nothing fancy - a 550 for .45 acp and 38 spcl and an older Lyman T-Mag for all of my rifle stuff. I have a friend at work who buys Costco pretzel barrels - they make great brass storage bins. If any of you are electricians, like my dad and brother, yes I have a strip bar plugged into a strip bar - its a jerry rig but it works.

    Here's mine.
    I built that bench in 1996 or 1997, following the plans pretty much exactly. It has been moved 5 times and it still locks up as solid as the day I built it. Here's a link to the plans:
