Reloading Rooms

[Hams42]

Hey all I am in the process of building a 12'x13' Man Cave/Reloading room in my garage. I am needing some inspiration for the design though. I will have my gun bench, ammo, safe and all my reloading supplies in this room. And tips for ammo/bullets/primers/dies storage? I would love to see what people have set up.

I use these wire racks for holding projectiles, brass, dies and loaded ammunition:

Powder and primers are kept in Plano plastic totes, usually with a desiccant box inside.

Two of the most useful items I've picked up came from the Dollar Store: knock off Tupperware/Rubbermaid food storage containers to hold once-fired brass and plastic bins (like https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstay...vxA6eAhi_rHV95B9JG9Ssd6HBNem4p2gaAvcYEALw_wcB) to hold brass while I'm working through cleaning, chamfering/deburring, sizing and priming.

Show me your reloading setups!

Made a good deal on cattle this year and I’m fixing to finally start building my shop. I’m going to start with my 45’x60’ slab and put a 45’ HQ shipping container on one side. This whole container is going to be my gun shop, starting with my reloading bench. I’ve got a ton of equipment and even...

Ah thank you. I was looking for a thread but I apparently didn't have the right key words.

Building the Perfect Reloading Room

Figured I'd move this thread over, in light of all the folks who posted such great stuff back on the old 'Hide. I captured a lot of it and will incorporate into the new room(s). Another snowy weekend spent in the barn attic saw the completion of all my framing and the installation of all...

There’s oodles of ideas in this thread.

Lights and shelves, LOTS of lights and shelves. 2 or 3 good sturdy benches won't hurt either.

When we move again and I have a new reloading room:

I'm going to put pegboard on the wall and use triton product's screw in pegboard hooks/bins. I think they're called durahooks. I put a bunch up in the giant garage/shop here and they're quite nice, but expensive. I'm impressed with how much they hold. I want a bin for each caliber of bullet I use. I'll use hooks for a few things that I want out. I also want a bin for my measuring tools. It would save a lot of rummaging I do.

Amazon sells some really nice and very sturdy shelf brackets. I like my powder and primers out on shelves. I keep a lot of tools in plano boxes I like on shelves too. I have those up in my shop too. I have about 1000lbs on some of them and just pull myself up on the shelves. I just ripped melamine mdf for the shelving.

Here I have that same wire racking someone linked to earlier, but I hate it as nothing likes to sit level if you just toss it down. I have all my powder, bullets, hulls, shotgun stuff on it.

A metal cabinet with doors and even a lock would be nice to keep powder, primers and other components in.
Maybe keep a humidity control rod in it.

I like the idea of these shelves. I want all calipers and bullets separated. And then maybe have rubber sealed totes for primers and powders.

Plastic bins for sure- too easy to get things scattered about
