As the title says, here's mine. One safe for bpe and the other for nitro doubles. Reloading bench was made in 1982 and the card catalog files are wonderful for small parts. The oak cabinet is used to separate my double's ammunition after I added shelves (too many doubles to fit in the cabinet so I had to put it to some use). Actually, I wanted to see if I can place photos here with imgur. Cal  http://imgur.com/a/BUNb0 PS. OK, the photos are on the link. Any idea how to make the photos appear here on the post?

There is a Greener case in Zim I am going to pick up next year for a gun I own. If it does not fit I will pass it on. It may be for 28" barrels or 30" Not sure. What is the pull and bbl length of yours?

Cal, I tried it on physically and it fit, but i did not measure it. But i am built like a spider monkey so i would guess about 15" pull. 25" barrels IIRC. Is the case leather or canvas? There is a canvas one coming up in an auction in UK for 28" barrels. What length you need. If i win and it is a better fit for you maybe we can trade.

Hello All, Well, here is my loading-casting-gunsmithing room. This is for not only my double rifles, but also for various rifles and pistols. My only problem is, that my room is in the basement and its very, very small, being only about 12' x 15'. I do manage to load and shoot about 2000 rounds a year of various calibers, ranging from .14 Helm up to 700NE, as well as 7 different shotgun gages. I have a path to each corner and nook, although sometime it requires "side-stepping" and "stepping-over" stuff to get there. This may not seem organized to you, but I know exactly where to look "under stuff" to find what I'm looking for, unless I run out of time and forget what it was I was searching for to begin with. These pictures should make some of you feel better about your loading rooms.              " .... you never pay too much for something, you only buy it too early ....

Just wow! When we get set up back in the USA again, i am going to build a shop about 40-100 yards away from the house and get set up with a reloading room like that. I lost a friend of mine in Australia who had an electrical fire in his house run through several hundred pounds of powder. His wife made it out, but he got trapped in the fire and died. His 400 pounds didn't help him, but I am deathly afraid with our 3 toddlers of having that much powder in the house after losing my friend. | |||

Mckay, I love your E design reloading bench. Great idea! | |||

I worry the same, I have a conditioned shop I'm building in my back yard that I am going to move the bulk of my powder to once completed. I'm sure I have a 1000+ pounds down there. Mac | |||

Thank you, It has been really functional. Only needed to make a few minor changes with drawers and what not that was unforeseen when I drew up all the cabinets to have built. Mac | |||

I have more than one reloading bench and more than one reloading spot, depending on what I'm doing as to what one I'm at... I refuse to put all of my reloading "stuff" in one place, as I had a house burn down one time. It taught me an IMPORTANT lesson, to NOT put all of my eggs in one basket!! DM | |||

Some of you guys could do a series of 21 day safaris if you'd just sell out... I don't post pictures on AR as most of you know, some condem me for it but I describe well and see no need. My double rifle reloading room is a 30 x 40 log shop, well heated, but no air conditioning, just a big ole fan that I seldom use because its in my horse barn keep Cinderella cool and roping shape.. Its furnished in hurricane and tornado fashion but I know where 50% of what I need is located. My saddles and powder are together, my loaded ammo more than enough to support our boys in Iraq is in order on shelves, my dies are arranged in order but not sure where they are, my stockmaking is well arranged but piled on top of each other, the rest is a nightmare!!   The sad part is I must be a blood brother to Buckstix other than he needs some saddles etc. mixed in..

I've been single for 25+ years so forgive me if I'm missing something. How the hell can a kitchen cost 70$K? I mean a stove, 'fridge, sink, and a few cabinets 2K, 3K at most. Of course, that is probably why I'm single!

Haha, don't recall what the kitchen remodel was. Just recall the pantry was right close to 70k. And like I said I did a ton of the work myself. Fancy copper sink and faucet, anther fridge, under cabinet ice maker, kegerator, wine fridge, dishwasher, etc. About 40' of wall to ceiling cabinets so apparently it all ads up! She's happy so that's all that matters. Mac | |||
