    Chris -
    It must be in the Hornady manual !!

    Nice shop area. Congrats on the organization.

    Here's one end of my little piece of heaven....





    That's not the whole thing, just some photos I had handy. No internet, no toilet, no 12 pack of Sam Adams, no window to an outdoor range, just peace and quite.

    Loading Bench Pics

    Gentlemen:

    I posted this question elsewhere, but was told I was in the wrong forum - duhhhh! I hate it when I do that!

    Thirty years ago, when my wife and kids and I lived way up in the wilderness Alaska Range, I handloaded smokeless powder cartridges for my then .460 Weatherby Magnum. But I barely knew what I was doing, and now I've even forgotten what little I did know.

    But I want to get into some really serious black powder cartridge reloading for a Sharps 50/90, and would greatly appreciate it if one of you experts would tell me the name of a book or two which I need to study for this purpose.

    Thank you very much!

    Gene

    Hey RFW... how do you like that RCBS case machine contraption? I need a few of those RCBS powder stands.

    Many excellent benches and reloading rooms shown. Impressive!

    One end of my man cave:



    Two dovetail slots (middle, left) for swapping presses in and out, with dovetail storagage slots on the top shelf for presses not in use. The Lee Classic Turret is bolted in on the right side.

    The laptop, a well travelled Compaq, is on a slide-out keyboard tray. Used for accessing my reloading spreadsheet records, and, of course, finding answers to important reloading and casting questions on this site.

    The latest addition is a work-in-progress: A finished round counter, mounted on the front edge of the bench, sitting over one of the poly bins on the front edge of bench. Actuated by pushing a finished round through a trap door, after which it falls into the poly bin below. I'll post some additional pics when it's finished.

    Very, very nice. i can just hear the peaceful sigh as you step in there...(followed by the sudden inspiration to make another addition).

    Shops like those shown here are acts of craftsmanship, just like good boolits.

    Took me an hour to clean up the bench for that picture. And another half an hour after the picture to scatter everything about again.

    I tend to clean my bench after I load a batch of ammo. Even if its 50 rounds I still seem to have more brass, dies, bullets/boolits, boxes etc etc out than I need. Although my bench is very small compared to what some of you have.

    Don't be so hard on yourself Mr Talley. As long as it gets the job done your good to go. That is a fine set-up sir. At least your casting and reloading.

    I don't think how much you own is all that important. It's what you've learned to do with what you do have that is important. Focus on learning new skills, not just accumulating more stuff.

    My home away from home

    My reloading shack is a 1850's log cabin. Its 2 rooms and 15X17. As you walk in there's the work benches for cleaning and scope mounting and general repair. All the benches fold down to make room for the poker table. Then in the back room is all the loading equipment. Upstairs is for storing wads,hulls, and all the extras for this type of operation. The casting and smelting operation is in the barn. To bad its overcast today to the left of the cabin is the Big Horn Mts. Snow covered and full of elk.
