There was a pretty long thread on this topic not too long ago. Maybe you can just link to it?
Mine is usually in the midst of at least 2 or 3 projects, since it's my general gun bench, plus my computer is down there where I work on the club newsletter and some school stuff. I got to spend about an hour there last night strengthening the shelf I keep my bullets on so it doesn't collapse under the weight of the lead.

no it is always clean and organized I can not work in clutter. There are plenty of pics, I still can not believe that I missed that thread... I must be slipping...

naw, I had to search way back for it. suprisingly, it got shoved past the last page in the topics. I knew it was there somewhere, just took a little more digging than I expected.
my bench is always in a state of orginized chaos, there's always something in the works at any given time.
Here's some of mine, what I don't have a pic of is the cabinet that holds the dies, mould handles & other stuff. The boxes under the bench are Handloader magazines going back to the early 70's. All the presses are mounted on wood bases that slide & lock into the bench, makes for an easy change. The first pic is the front, the second is the back, the top 1 1/2 rows are moulds, the rest is some of the brass. The third pic shows how the bench opens for more storage. I live in an apartment & this is all I can set up for now.

Pretty-please, with IMR-4895 on top, can one of the mods please combine the two "Lets see your loading set up" threads in question and make the new thread a sticky. jmabbott888 I love the bench. I use a Lee Turret press, Lee dripomatic, and Lyman 450 too. What moulds do you have?
Here is a thread with pics of my buddy Glenn's setup. He has added more storage bins and shelving since this picture was taken. The Lyman 450 is mine. His tumbler,smelting pot, and lead ingots are stored outside under the shelter. http://www.marlinowners.com/forums/i...html#msg476221

As for the mould list, thanks to your question makes me have to update the list, didn't know I fell that far behind lol. He is a partial list
Lyman/Ideal: 257312, 257418, 311576, 311410, 311290, 323470, 247124, 457125, 225438, 358242
Lyman/Ideal muzzleloader 450229, 45468, 575494, 575602, 575213.
Many of the moulds are from dads collection & when he passes away I inherited them. Some of the other moulds are RCBS, Lee & the 1 piece style sold thru Dixie as well as a few that are 1 piece all metal with handles & square blocks, no manufacterer name on them & 1 mould that came with a Centennial 1860 Army reproduction pistol.
JimKim, when & if the handle breaks on the 450 Lyman has a replacement but it makes the handle the same as the new one, replaces the linkage parts also. My son broke mine sizing some 45-70 slugs that he was putting thru a 454 die by mistake. Since the I double check the die he is using lol.
