Start of my reloading bench

[kenzup]

I have been using my buddy's reloading set up for the last year. I have finally started setting up my own reloading bench. I got my harbor freight bench and Dillon 550c in this weekend. I got everything set up for the most part. The one thing I do not have pictured is my Giraurd annealer. I have my tumblers and separator on the way. I am 90% on ordering the Giraurd Power Trimmer as well. I am probably going to order some inline fab rails to help with organization. I am still learning and want to share this journey and hear from you all. I will continue to post about my set up and tests that I run both on my reloading equipment and my rifles.

Ah, a nice clean, uncluttered, reloading bench. Sounds like you're setting yourself up nicely.

I notice you have powder in the hopper. Do you leave it in there?

No, I will not. I ran a test last night on the accuracy of h1000 and h4350 with the Dillon powder thrower (found here https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/dillon-powder-thrower-test.6920142/ ). I will run the powder thrower for my trainer rifle (223 and my hunting rifles 6.5 creed and 338 lapua) I will more than likely measure out every load with an hornady autocharge for my competition rifle (6 creedmoor).

I am happy with it so far. I appreciate the compliment.

Thats a nice looking bench. You will eventually want a shelf for additional storage. You will like the Giraud tools.

I think I am going to run two in line wall mount rails for additional storage. We’ll see how it goes
