What operation do you do with the upside down Lee?

That's what we're here to see, Mr Don!
Okay, I'll play. Not as big as some guys (why does that sound so wrong?), but I make do (and that sounds worse).
And, at least it is dedicated, I don't have to tear down and put it away.
I also have shelves next to it -
I have come a long way since 1989, with a Lee Handloader, sitting at the kitchen table.
If I had a 7'x15' space for reloading, I think I would just curl up and cry. My 'bench' is 28 inches across.
Beagle333, I looked at your picture. I am afraid! Very Afraid!
No pics cause it was 1982,just married.Anyway,left shop and area.Made two,stackable units.They each had two full length doors.Each cabinet was nominal 24" deep,42" tall and about 36" wide or across the face....think 4 doors nominal,18 wide 40 is so tall.
Used that for a cpl years before moving back,subsequently moving all the loading stuff into a succession of "spare" rooms in the house.That cabinet thing above,wasn't that bad.Had it in a laundry room,used to do laundry chores and reload at the same time.Pre cable and internet days.So it can be done on a small'ish scale.
I think beagles bench is SWEET!
Ok, real time, but keep in mind I just had my leg chopped off so I have a legitimate excuse! 🤣

I am jealousy of everyone's space? Do i get free pass on the clutter since i am a closet reloader?
This is where the weird science happens.

I often think we're very spoiled these days...my dad and grandfather we're both avid shooters(and competitive) and reloaded on single stage presses the master BR closet.
In those days people generally didnt have multiple progressives in a dedicated 20x20 reloading space.
The "working class" average joe was the inspiration for the thread, and you, Sir, fit the bill.
