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.
Here is my modest set up http://www.texrebel.com/reload.html and yes it is a page from my web site, scroll down and you will find a link to here as well, thank all of you for helping me answer a lot of casting questions, this is a great site
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!

Many excellent benches and reloading rooms shown. Impressive!
One end of my man cave:
http://www.zjstech.net/gunstuff/loadingbench1.JPG
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.

What's with you guys and neatness? How do you expect to find something?
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.
Finally got the bench cleaned up and presentable. My little slice of heaven that is a *** compaired to some of ya'lls

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. ;)
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.
What night is poker night ??? Do you play for reloading supplys Ill see your 500 primers and raise you 200 lswc .45 :drinks:
