Really nice set up, Forty.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Well it's my little safe place for reloading...gun storage and muscle car related items and my computer room.
Whether reloading or on the computer Buster and I share the chair....he sits in the back and me on front edge....a big little dog when he wants to be spread out! :lol:
The round table my Dillon is clamped to is a tilt table/chair my Dad made 35-40 years ago. He made several for family members. He would be proud of it being used in my reloading activities! A pair of his favorite old mandolins hang above it.

Now what could that oval orange thing be hanging on the wall?

I can’t make out the oval orange thing you commented on but I sure like your Mustang lamp. What a fantastic looking room, your rifle racks are incredible.

Going thru my plinking loads of various calibers and have plenty of 38/357 and .45 Colt but a bit low on my .44 Magnum 240 gr. with 9.5 Unique.
Will get started on the .44 Mag loads. Have some 240 gr. loads with 6 gr. of Red Dot for really easy accurate target use but like the 9.5 Unique/240 MB load for general use in revolver and rifle.

I thought Ernie’s and Sir Henry’s idea of using a Craftsman type tool chest for organizing reloading/hobby rooms was so clever that I threw caution to the wind and stopped by Lowes to get one. Ernie had mentioned Lowes had a good sale going which they did ($422 for both chests) so no Christmas for the grandkids this year, only me. :lol: J/K of course. Yesterday I did the minor assembly on the chest and re-organized my reloading room. I also did a good elimination of un-needed or seldom used items and freed up some shelf and bench top space.

The only downside is now my wife wants to organize the rest of the basement today. Where did that come from :?: :shock:

That oval orange thing on the wall is the original air filter element that came off my brother's 1970 Hemicuda. Think it has about 8000 miles on it.
It has the Shaker scoop with the dual Carter 4 bbls. Still has that faint scent of SUNOCO 260 on it.
