i would like to get a picture thread about reloading tables because im fixing to build one and need some inspiration, would also like to know the materials used to make a solid reloading table.
My frame is built along the guidelines of the one in the PDF file. http://www.shotgunsportsmagazine.com...ench_plans.pdf
I chose not to make it as tall or long as I am limited in space. Did not add the back storage as I wanted the light from the widow.
My top came from Builders Square ( that should give you a clue to it's age) & was on another set up that used a Black & Decker workmate.
My RCBS Rockchucker is off right now, but mounts to the right of my Dillon.
This is a very sturdy set up. My old bench on the Workmate walked all over the place when resizing .308 & .416 Remington mags.
The magnifying light it very handy & I suggest everyone adds one to their set up
I rooted around at a few flea markets and found some old kitchen cabinets and counter top for really cheap (20 bucks). Then I made the top shelves out of 1x10's and screwed then to the counter top. Lots of storage and shelf space.
I don't like storing powder and live ammo in the safe for saftey reasons in case of a fire so I have more shelving to the left of the bench for that as well.
Some very nice set-ups....now I really have tthe itch to start getting into reloading. Too bad there's not enough components. Oh well, I'll keep saving my brass for now.

The top is 2 X 12's wrapped in 2 X 6's, using 2 X 4's for supports and legs.
So far it has been a pretty solid bench.
You can really tell the people who are neat freaks.
I try and keep my table clean and organized. . .cause you know dealing with gun powder and explody thinging around my hands and face kind of push me to be careful, but I really have to work on it.
btw, I'm really jealous of you people that can reload with air conditioning.
