Far cleaner that it typically is now. I've added another small table to the side for a Giraud and Trim Mate prep center.
in an ideal world, I'd find or build a hutch for the back of the bench - one of these days..

Kinda messy, but its comfortable and roomy in a small spare bedroom that I call my "gun room". Two Dillons set up for 380 and 9mm. Using 100gr/231 for 380 and 115/Clays for 9mm. Recently added an electronic scale and found that the Hornaday Beam and Dillon drop loads were very accurate. I'm just a plinker and can test fire off my back porch or outside into a large dirt pile. The compact 1911 9mm is an STI recently bought and I had to trim some coils off the recoil spring in order to get it to handle my slightly less than max loads. It was one stout spring. Three Kahr's ...380, 9mm, 45acp, Sig 230 380, and a Turkish SAR 9mm. Theres a few more in the safe, but these are the ones I use most often.

Loving these as a total noob on reloading. I bought a complete reloading setup as part of a gun deal package recently. Came with everything, powder, dies, ammo, brass....and 3 rifles too. I have a separate gun safe room in my basement that I've been looking at various benches, cabinets.... these give me lots of good ideas ; ) Keep them coming! Anyone have a good recommendation of a reloading book for a reloading noob wanting to use all the stuff he's picked up??? I've been watching several you tube clips but like the thought of a book on the bench as a refernce tool if I need it.

Lots of information, if you mostly shoot one brand of bullets also get the manual from that manufacturer. Once you have a manual or two to cover the methods Alliant, Accurate, and Ramshot, have data available online, they only list max loads. When in doubt start your own threads here to ask, the reloaders on this board tend to be more helpful than most in my observation.

Also just saw this: I know a lot of manufacturers post online data for their powders but you really do need manuals. Alliant for example, online, does NOT post that for their rifle max loads (for RE15 and 2000-MR at least) a lot of them are compressed; the book manual indicates they are which is kinda important.

Alliant will send you their manual for free (or you can print it):
