You obviously have a more patient wife than I do!
I have almost exactly the same setup - I added one of those side work tables from HF to have a little more surface room. Compared to my old setup that base for my press has a much larger footprint.View attachment 357764
my bench. Excuse the mess. Not pictured is a tumbler and a couple stand alone powder measures on other shelves. For my actual work space, this little bench is just fine for the 7 or so calibers that I load.
I was shooting in competition, IHMSA, it was easy to collect brass and 7br you couldn't buy loaded rounds. Sold those guns and bought semi auto guns. Pain in the neck collecting brass and ammo wasn't so bad in price.
covered in indoor-outdoor carpeting. Why the carpeting on the benchtop? Well...I don't really know...seemed like a good idea at the time, I guess. Wouldn't do it again
A regular IHMSA course of fire is 40 rounds. However, most silhouetters tend to shoot multiple times using different guns in different classes. It's often a 200 round day, more than double that at a championship match.Ooooo, I would have liked that except for the high cost of 100rds per round. (Did I get the round count correct?)
I shot silhouette's when I lived upstate NY, region 1. Shooting season was from April (weather permitting) to Sept maybe Oct. I shot every weekend, 3 matches and 4th weekend practice. I purchased bullets in bulk and powder in 10 lb lots. I shot 7br, 44 magnum revolver, 357 maximum in a Contender. 22 silhouette's too.Ooooo, I would have liked that except for the high cost of 100rds per round. (Did I get the round count correct?)
My similar fun was that our club holds .22lr steel silhouette rifle matches all winter long...
And winters are long here; and I no longer want so much to out in the cold shooting with finger gloves and in muckluck boots trudging 100yds thru the snow to reset targets. Must be nice to be warm(er). I don't envy your summers tho!!
Ben where did you shoot, Ft. Stockton? I went to Oak Ridge TN for an International shoot one time. Missed one out of 80 with Remington XP-100 and finished around 100th place.

Yeah, it can get expensive.
Uvalde, New Braunfels, PSC, Greenwood, Sour Lake, Victoria, and Midlothian are the places I can name offhand.Ben where did you shoot, Ft. Stockton?
That's the problem with the design of the course of fire. It's way too easy for Unlimited shooting freestyle. It's discouragingly difficult for Standing Production.Missed one out of 80 with Remington XP-100 and finished around 100th place. Tough competition.

I've never noticed a problem with static building up on the carpeted surface. However, if you spill any amount of powder it has a tendency to stay in the carpet and needs to be vacuumed out. Static and dryness aren't a problem here in Texas and wasn't in Colorado or Virginia, either.I can imagine.
Just had a thought (shocking, I know).... does static ever build up with the carpet?
We're dry where I live, esp in the winter, and static can be a big problem with certain things.

Nothing special about my setup. Small bench for a small space, made from a Gorilla rack workbench. Rock Chucker on the right, formerly had a Dillon 550B on the left. Bullets on the first shelf, brass on the bottom (disregard the bin of brass sitting out on the floor...my wife decided she needed to "borrow" one of my plastic bins...) Powder stored in the shelves and pullout bins on the left, dies and tools on the top shelf. The benchtop is a re-purposed kitchen countertop covered in indoor-outdoor carpeting. Why the carpeting on the benchtop? Well...I don't really know...seemed like a good idea at the time, I guess. Wouldn't do it again. Stool is highly adjustable for height, works great for those processes when I sit, and does double duty at the benchrest matches. Tumbler, sonic cleaner and all the associated messy stuff is out in the garage.
congrats on your 25th post!Everything you need, nothing you don’t!
