I currently reload out of a closet and all my reloading stuff must be stored and used in that space. I'm not talking a walk in closet either... so usable space is about 2.5 ft by 3 ft. I just have too much stuff and any time I need to get that one odd tool out everything seems to explode. Any ideas on how to keep things organized and accessible or at least easier to manage?

I'd like to spend most my money on ammo so if you've got any budget friendly ideas let me know! I was thinking of a bunch of shoe box sized Tupperware but not sure how practical that is.
 
Could you just add a bunch of shelves above the work bench area? You could attach 1x4 boards to the left and right side of the closet wall and then place a shelving board across them.

I agree, add some extra shelving above your bench. And maybe even below it. Maybe even something over the door, on the inside. Go to Walmart and look at plastic containers. I like the suggestion of 1X4's on the left and right with a 1X12 for a shelf. Buy a sharpie, or even better, a label maker to mark those boxes. You can cram a lot of stuff into a space 2-1/2 X 3 feet with a little planning
