My reloading room

[red1027]

Here is my little room. I converted the closet in my office into my reloading room. Because of school and work I was finally able to finish it today. I replaced the door knob with one that has a lock. I have an 18 month old baby girl that loves spending time with dad and is always willing to give a hand. She learned how to open doors so I have to be able to lock it.

A little bit about the dimensions. The closet is about 5ft 10in long and 4 ft wide. The bench is 4ft 9 1/2 in long and 2 ft wide. It is a bit tight in there but hey I am the only one allowed, so it works out.

That looks pretty nice...I just have my garage...my hot, humid garage

Humidity is bad for carbon steel and heat is bad for powder and primers. Glad it's safe for your family. In a few years teach your little girl to reload and shoot. 22LR then AR15. Before you know it she will be wanting her own gun. Cheers!

Thatsa nice reloading room, its always nice to have more room, but I always seem to fill it up no matter how big or small it is..!!!!
I think we're gonna have some strange weather this year AGAIN here in East Texas, its 23rd of Jan, and I was sweating today shooting out back.
Humidity is the reason I have tried EVERY oil on the market to help with surface rust.. settled on EEZOX...works.!!
In fact, I have just been going over oiling my guns tonight...Better than watching crappy TV :-)

Don, you ever try LPS3? I've got raw steel parts that I coated 5 years ago that have zero rust on them. It is waxy, so it has to be applied sparingly but for tools and dies, it is great.

No, guess I have not really tried ALL of them...but a bunch. :-)
That just may have a place in my cabinet, I may just pick up a can and try it. Thanks for the heads up.!!

I reload it the garage too. It is a good thing because my Dillion 550B occassionaly spits spent primers out onto the floor and there is the occassional spilled powder charge. Indoors or in the garage, reloading is fun.

Nice room.

Try RIG (Rust Inhibiting Grease) works very well on everything I've used it on. Also good for long-term storage of guns, if one were to consider such a thing.....

My whole reloading story started out like the OP and others. I started off in an unheated or air conditioned shop/barn.
Did that for many years dealing with the Texas elements. About a year ago I started to rebuild my shop and insulate it plus several other mods. I'm almost finished now ( I'm sloooowwww because of a dang bum-Back ..!! )

All the rain we got today( Gully-washer) showed me a leak on the end of the shop on the tin roof. (Gotta fix that NOW )

So I should be able to manage without all the rust prevention very soon.........I HOPE..!!!!!

Thanks for all the help guys, and I hope I'm NOT hi-jacking the OP's post, just jabbering and a little long winded at times.

Thanks
Don

Nice room. As a couple of the other posters mentioned, I am stuck in the garage and can only load when the conditions are right. I am able to prep cases, and then prime indoors. I also store my powder and primers in the casa. I look forward to having a room of my own to load in.
