New Reloading Station With Old Stuff

[Rohn]

I just moved my reloading station from my shop to my basement.  In my shop had my re-loading press attached to an old table but decided to buy an old wooden desk instead.  I found this desk at a thrift store.



There was no where to mount my press without making my top drawer useless so I decided to make the press removable and put together a wooden bracket like this.


Then I made a base for the press so that it will slide in to the bracket.


Once it is in I insert the piece with two bolts through the base to hold it in place.


It is rock-solid and easy to remove when not reloading.

I also wanted a holder for my powder measure so I went back to my scrap pile in the wood shop and came up with this.


I also slides into the desk like this.




Here it is all together and ready to reload.


My equipment is old but works great.  I never felt the need for some of the progressive reloading equipment so I have just kept my old stuff and it works just fine for me.  Hope you have enjoyed a visit to my re-loading bench.  Make sure and keep your powder dry and happy shooting!

That looks like a lot of fun. I wanted to get some reloading equipment, but all we have is a 9mm, so it isn't really worth it until I get my PTR91 G.I .308

Super nice setup you have Rohn! Reloading is one thing I have never done.

Wow! That's great Rohn! I want to get into reloading soon. Before I do I will definitely have some questions for you.
