My Loading Bench

Post by Swampman »

Here's my set-up. most of this stuff was free. It may not seem like much but it works fine and takes up little space.

Very practical.

I like it.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Your set-up looks like mine except yours is a lot neater, i used to have a big bench set-up but have narrowed most my shooting down to three cal. 45-70 being loaded the most. Set up two of these little tables that i can move around easy to different locations.

The .45-70 and straight walled pistol cartridges are my favorites to load.

Had a similar set up in a house when I only had a closet for reloading. Smart thinking!

So, do you use those ear muffs when you're tumbling brass or what? :lol:

I usually set the tumbler in the garage or back porch.

Nice and neat Swampman :D I bet most of the younguns here would not notice that early 70's Lyman manual. That book looks new!----------------Sixgun

Pitchy--where did you get that Thumblers Tumbler? I've had one since the early seventies and she still runs great!

A old feller that has long passed gave it to me when he bought one of the new fangled Lyman vibrating kind.
He was one of those guys that forgot more about guns and reloading than most of us know, kinda like Earl. :wink:
