The magazine Better Homes and Gardens should do a feature on your reloading room. That’s a beauty! Even got a “wow” from my wife. :D

Now as runnin said, time to go mess it up! :lol:

Oh, I agree. I did get going a bit by helping a shooting buddy load up some 9mm rounds.

If it looks like a kitchen, that is because I used our old kitchen cabinets. Wifey got a whole new kitchen out of the deal. I couldn't let those old cabinets go to waste. Though, much of that storage space is taken up by a bunch of non-reloading stuff.

Using those cabinets was a great idea. My problem is, I don't have a bare wall available in my man cave. Nothing there I can move elsewhere.

I haven’t reloaded for about six years and everything was placed in boxes while new hardwood floors were being installed in January. Yesterday I got to opening some of the last boxes and came across 10,200 primers and 32 pounds of power. I think my friend in Texas wants to buy it from me.

Made a run to Idaho yesterday to a great shop over there and scored!!! Yippee..... found Starline 41 mag brass and H110 powder. One pound per type limit and while they had lots of other powders on hand nothing else that I wanted was available. Only primers were shot shell and 50bmg so no love there.

Was considering using my safe to store powder, primers and finished shells. My friend who is in the safe business told me it would have to be a hell of a fire to compromise that safe, not to worry. Guess I will use it for storage.

Ernie, at the price today of primers and powder not to mention ammo itself that safe looks like a great idea. Man, that’s a monster!

That's no safe; that's a vault! Bet it weights a bunch. Nice one.

Again, while rummaging around in the shop, I found 6 unloaded .45 Colt cases[Starline] and a bag with 300! .45 acp cases! I don't know how many acp cases I now have, but, I keep finding them. I must have traded for some of these a while ago and forgot where I had placed them. Well, you all know what I'll be doing over the weekend. Happy New Year everyone!

Had a car hauler deliver the safe to my shop. I got it when I had a jewelry business, wanted one that someone wouldn't carry off.
