      What did you do at your reloading bench today?

      So glad to be back at the bench. Sized and primed 200 9mm and did 50 to final crimp. Snow day tomorrow so will finish them then. Picked up 6.5X55 and 30-30 dies at Reddings Auction last weekend. Might dabble with those for my Swed and Marlin.

      Next Redding Auction, Gettysburg

      Gettysburg Picked up some Nagant Ammo, nice leather pistol case and some AK Mags. Only thing I wanted but went to high were the M57 Mags went for more than retail. I agree crowd was light and some of the front row regulars not there with deep pockets

      Lets see your benches!

      I also use the existing 3/4" holes in the bench top with bolts and dowels to make other mouting points such as my press and ar mag well stand. that way I can take them off if I need full bench for work

      Lets see your benches!

      New Reloading bench Moved to new place so had chance to set up Firearm room from scratch. Used a HFT Woodworker bench with some modifications and a back pegboard. Put everything in the room on locking casters for easy clean up. Even the shelving units and gun cabinets.

      I went for some mags. One guy with deep pockets was cleaning up. I did get 10 AR in one set and 4 from another. Best deal was 4 5900 mags for my Keltec Sub2k. Also got a nice Earp collector shadow box and a ammo box. Lot of old money guys with deep deep pockets. I refer to them as gun horders...
