Finished my reloading bench!

Worked on my reloading bench today and finished it. Just need some brass now.

Looks real nice... And clean!

Ya, I would use that!!!

Built the exact same bench from plans online except I left out the top cabinets and just use plastic drawers. Yours looks great and they are built so sturdy that they will hold up for years.

That's awesome. I was just thinking about doing that myself. I might have just drawn some inspiration...thanks!

I'm jealous. Well thought out, organized and clean. Good job. I've run out of room on mine and the other loading bench next to it. All the organizing in the world won't solve my problem...just too much of everything and not enough room to put it in. You obviously need more projects and calibers to load.

Looks way too clean ! Lol. I took some pictures of my newly rebarreled 7mm wsm but deleted them because there was no way I was posting pictures of my messy bench.

Looks exactly like mine, built out of scrap 2x4 and 3/4 ply back in 1987 .Been thru two long distance moves . Recently put a formica laminate on top and gave Iit a coat of paint. Solid as day one

Awesome. I am jealous as mine is about a third that size. Bench envy.......

Nicely done. I used T nuts on the top of mine to attach the thrower, trimmer, and bench priming tool. My top is only 2'x4' and didnt want anything permanently attached except the press.

Nice setup. I agree, way too clean.

Very nice. Send us another picture after about a year..........

Anyone looking to build this bench can get the plans here - its very well thought out - http://www.zjstech.net/gunstuff/reloadingbench.pdf

just a quick hint. keep it clean , only have on the bench what you are loading at any given time. helps to avoid costly mistakes.

beautiful! good table surface to work on and its not messy. (yet)

 

[JustOneMoreShot]

Yes my bench is a gigantic mess. I need to get it all cleaned off and load up a few test rounds for my 270WSM this week. I'll take some pictures before and after.

looks nice. a piece of advice though, id make a cut out in that lower shelf for your legs to be under the bench a bit with out hitting. had the same deal on mine and was much more comfortable sitting for long reloading sessions with a little leg room underneath

I did the same thing with my bench, very comfortable when sitting and reloading for awhile.

I haven't got to use it yet! Just put it all together. Everything is new out of the box. My brother and I split the costs for the stuff. Should be a nice set up. I just can't find any ammo or brass for my 17 hornet, unless I want to pay $40 per box. I primarily use my bow to hunt with but shoot a lot of prairie dogs with a rifle. I also rifle hunt for cow elk, haven't used much 7mm ammo doing that though. Hopefully I can find some 17 hornet brass so I can have more than the 25 I got now.

Not really sure of this but would look into using 22 hornet brass, running it thru your 17 dies to form them. Always found 22 hornet a pia to reload because of the soft necks crushing so easy, but that is just my dilema
