    Looks like it will get the job done. Good work.

    As she sits today:



    Below the trimmer:





    I have 5 different tools set up on Inline Fabrication quick change mounts. The base plate is inset into a slot I routed into the top of my bench:

    Thank you. It's really small...about 8'x5', but it's the only space available to me for now. I'm happy with it, and with AC I can work out there during the heat of the summer.

    I started reloading in my 5th wheel while on job sites, so this is a huge step up in comfort and size both, lol.

    Here is mine pre boolit casting. It's actually a whole room. I'm thinking I'll do the casting and rendering part outside on another bench and then bring boolits, ingots, etc inside.

    Rmantoo, I’m going to ask a dumb question. What is sitting in the corner with the Dillon case feeder on it? I don’t think I have ever seen one of those. Nice setup too! The AC makes it nice in hot weather, I just put it in my little shop.
    What if..... you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?

    You mean the black thing on the right side of the feeder? That's a mr. bulletfeeder... If I'm understanding the question correctly.

    Yes, it has what looks to be an iPad attached to it, an electric motor and belt that drives something. It’s very interesting to me, I like gadgets that make reloading more fun.

    OH! Ok. That's not the bullet feeder: That's a Mark 7 reloading pro. It's an automation system for the 1050... the tablet is an android derivative... LOVE THAT THING! Runs 900-2300 rounds per hour and is amazing.

    Finally renovated my reloading area by adding shelves and led lights. Added Inline Fabrication’s Quick Change mount system, just need to add their rail system and storage docks.

    My Feedback, (did I buy or sell to you? Please add your Comments)

    Hi, guys I have a few questions? I am thinking that my current loading area is to wet. (My dies are getting rust on them) So my thought is, I have a 10 x 12
    Shed on my property not being used for anything, I want to heat it with a propane 12000 btu infrared wall unit and cool it with same btu window air conditioner . Can anyone see any problem with this setup.

    How well is that shed insulated? You don't want to heat and cool an uninsulated building.

    You might consider a dehumidifier. It will heat up your shed and take moisture out of the air.

    If its comfortable, can be made secure and has power run to it I would say go for it.

    I only have one press on the bench and swap it out with a different press stored/parked on a shelf.

    Size/Prime a few cases when starting off with a progressive and put them aside. You can plug them back into the process when a bad/odd case screws up in the priming station and continue loading.

    It is well insulated, I planned on making it like a room in the house. My main concern
    would be moisture. The added bonus would be I dont have a bunch of powders in the house. Do you think that style of heat would be a issue?

    It does have power and I would secure it with a heavy steel or wood door.

    Propane infrared heaters give off moisture. you need to use a vented heater of some kind.
