Finally finished up my reloading space. Super excited to get everything moved inside from the shed.

Sweet setup. Can't wait until we build a house and I can get a personal space back. What finish did you go with? I used BIN primer on my shelves and was really impressed. 220 between each coat and it's super slick and being an oil based "paint" it won't stick to whatever I put on it.

I used 1/2 plywood base and covered that with melamine sheets to keep everything super smooth. I used a urethane alkyd paint to add durability to the top.

I just finished up the mobile cleaning station. I made a butcherblock top out of a bunch of dried sweet gum stickers I had extra and finished it in spar urethane. I do not know how the finish will hold up to cleaning solvents (probably not very well), but it is what I had. The base is a Grizzly workbench base. The chest is a Harbor Freight special. I had plenty of room for my cleaning rods under the ledge and the glove and paper towel holder. It should make for a useful piece of furniture.

Annealed 120 cases of 25-284. Got my measurements, sized, mandrel'd and loaded a ladder test of H1000 w/ 134eldms @ .020" off. That barrel is on the shelf so they'll be sitting around for a bit.
What annealer are you running?

I run 54.5 grains of H1000 in my 25-284 @ 3.14" COL. Velocity in 22" McGowen is averaging 2820 with less than 100 rounds on the barrel. Good luck!
