New reloading room

[David]

Ron,

Get or make a nice rack that will hold a bunch of rifles. When you want to go in there and relax, you can remove several of your favorites from the safe and chill with "the boys." It probably won't surprise you to know that I do that all the time...

Lookikng good Westberg! Think you need to consult Belgiboy for Man Cave accessories.. TV and leather furniture!

Thanks, the TV is already to go in, furniture will be another shopping trip after we know how much room will be left.

We need to talk. Pm sent.

Looks awful nice Westsberg, those cabinets would be handy and put a nicer look to things. My S.O. would throw a fit if I tried having my reloading stuff in sight of guests, I guess it doesn't exactly fit in with modern decor. Go figure...

Main things I wish I had were a few outlets in close proximity to my bench so I could have my tumbler in there and a good light aimed down at the press. That or a few more lights on the ceiling. Need to teach myself a little more about running conduit first...

That's going to be a nice set-up.

I've already demonstrated my lack or reloading knowledge around here but fire resistance comes to mind... Now days they make fire resistant studs, plywood, insulation, drywall, paint, doors. Fire-block all around all outlets and other openings. You could make it a 60 minute room!

Maybe watch the furniture that you use in there (no stuffy couches) and use flame resistant window coverings as well.

At this point a residential fire sprinkler makes sense for you and you would accomplish the same thing. Probably save a bundle on your HO insurance too:

Reloading stuff does not exactly burst into flames and quite frankly if you stick to small quantities of power and primers in your reloading room you will be fine.

Sprinklers are cool for sure - but not necessary.

The only thing that I will add to this room is NOTHING on the floor - Hardwoods only - do not use a vacuum with a beater bar - I have set off pimers with a beater bar on a vacuum - yikes.

Let the So vacumn mine does and it ads a little excitment to her life.

Starting to look real nice.

Wish I could find the pics of someone elses load setup from several years ago, He had like 6-10 or so Dillon presses. And then indoor shooting benches with slideing windows that opened up onto a outdoor range.

I have heard this on 3-4 sites, but no one remembers where they saw it, or has the pictures. I want to see this room.

Urban legend............


Actually I have seen them also. I'll see if I can find them again.

[Pinnacle]

Nope it is a guy in Montana and he had about 10- 550's and a couple of 1050's and a BUNCH of 650's

I can always use a new friend. This mythical guy needs to befriend me and write me into his will...

The old links I had for it seem to be dead.

Yeah, he was posting on sixguns forum, then all his stuff went down, He had an insulated 24x36 or bigger building CRAMMED with stuff. and not just pilled willynilly, but just all kinds of stuff, and his back yard was a 1000 yard known distance range.

[justaguy]

This is exactly how it goes on the other sites when this comes up. With the vastness of the intraweb I should have seen these pictures a long time ago. I will up the stakes and buy a beer/shot/drink/coffee/milk/soda/water/soy milk or any other thing for the finder. If it’s Ttoosie I’ll buy the prune juice.
Sorry Westberg, but I really want to see this picture before I die. There has been a lot of build up.

I'd disagree with that. I'd put a rubber anti-fatigue mat on the floor. It makes standing for long periods of time much more pleasant and it won't hide powder or get in the way of a vacuum. Unless there's a safety issue I'm missing.

Justa, I like Rolling rock, or jimbeam and diet coke



THis is the only pic I can find, and its only one side, the other side is all 650's and 1050's
