My set-up is not very elaborate as you can see. Just a little drafting desk that I picked up from the thrift store for $10. Not a bench, but it's where I make ammo.

It has grown a bit since these pictures were taken, but basically the same setup.

My simple solution. What's missing from the picture is the big plastic tub I keep the various stuff in, like powder, primers, dies, brass etc. and the tumbler which is in the garage. I just plop this in front of the couch and go to town.

Here is one of my benchs...mostly .50 stuff. I built the most of the .50 tools that I use to reload.

This is my home bench, It is a very sturdy bench that was built in one weekend. It is not made for reloading but could be adapted. My small tools for smithing are not really visible in this picture. I have several other tool cases and machines lining the wall.

Anyhow, I built the bench in one weekend. It is very sturdy.

You really dont want to see mine! It is about 20' long and has 2 stories. Both are covered with 50+ years of stuff I have collected,there is a BUNCH more in the sheds.

When I die there will be one hell of a yard sale!!!!!!!

I have not had any ammo shortage here... a bucket of wheel weights and I got ammo...

Alright!
Always good to see another caster. Some day we need to start a thread about casting.

Tubby45 · May 31st, 2009, 09:58 PM

Yup. Love to see more casters. Here's some boolit porn.

ThylordJJ: That's a nice setup you have there.

And Tubby, those are some beautiful cast boolits.

I may have to start casting soon since I can't seem to get any bullets. Or at least I thought so, until I saw that big flaming pic that Tubby posted and that scared me off.

I just stuffed my last 15 Sierra BTHPs in some 30-06 cases. They are backordered everywhere, as are Remington Core-Lokts. Still waiting on my .223 bullets to show up.

I've got about 500 .357 hollowpoints, and about 250 30-30 bullets to keep me busy until I get something else in. I guess I could load up some 30-30 bullets in my .308 and 30-06 if worse comes to worst.
