Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Reloading in the shop?

What do you keep in the Folgers cans?
Do one pound canisters fit in them?

I reload in the garage which is attached an insulated. Installed a window a/c unit for the summer and have a forced air heater for winter. Store bullets and brass in the garage and powder and primers are stored in a closet in the house along with loaded ammo. My setup doesn't look as neat as some of yours though.

Concur. WAY too neat. 😮

My loading room where I keep all my tools, bench, bullets, etc is in one of two 8’X12’ storage rooms off the garage...not climate controlled and it gets pretty warm during the summer and a bit chilly in the winter. I keep my powder and primers in an inside closet.

You can get big ass desiccant containers or hangers to help out a bit.

I have a RV travel set that I made back in 1989. It is complete with all parts to neck size only and it is stored in a box of 3X4X8 inches. https://i.postimg.cc/44KDXzz5/Reloader-2009.png

Where I reload:
In the reloading room, lots of presses, but mostly two co-ax presses are used
At my desk [converted typewriter desk on wheels] mostly two RCBS Partner presses are used
In the camper mostly two RCBS Partner presses are used
In the vehicle mostly two RCBS Partner presses are used
At my friend's house when hunting. What ever clunky old rock chucker has no die in it at the time

But the shop where I build rifles has dedicated areas:
Metal chips
Wood chips
spray painting

I'm not bsa, but coffee cans are a nifty place for brass among other things.

Nice set up LBG. I have the Lee hand press and when I have needed a few rounds I have sometimes loaded them at my office desk, (home office! )

I made my own take down system when we lived in a medium sized mobile home with no possible place to mount/place a reloading press.

I drilled holes in a clear fir 2x6 to mount an RCBS press on one end of the board, which was six feet long. Lay the board on the kitchen table with the holes just past the edge, preferably close above a strong supporting table leg. A large C-clamp secured the other end of the board to the table, then bolt on the press. I used wing nuts and washers to secure the press to the 2x6.

Screw a die in the press and start reloading. Take down requires a minute or three to remove two wing nuts and release one C-clamp. Set up might take five minutes the first time.

When not in use the 2x6 stands on end in a clothes closet, with press, dies etc. in a plastic tub. I still have that board.

When we moved to a big city downtown apartment for a year I used the same set up. Nothing permanent but quick, easy and efficient reloading. Will admit I LOVED it when we bought a house and I set up a skookum bench with permanently mounted presses.

Related, I'll be moving a loaded Liberty gun safe to a generally unheated Montana shop building next year, with the usual low humidity of this region.
Are there any condensation/rust issues I should be particularly alert for, like on those days when I bring a chilled rifle into the house or turn on a heater near an opened safe? Likewise the scopes, some of which are vintage?
