Recently, my shop in the (unheated) garage flooded and the water froze to a depth of .5 inches. Since the temps here in Maryland have hovered at or below freezing for a bit, the ice isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Now I need to reload. (I did mention that my reloading bench is in the aforementioned indoor ice rink/garage?)
I have space in the basement for a temporary bench. The dilmena is that my oil furnace is also there. The area being looked at is about 15 feet and around the corner from the furnace. I recognize that powder is not as flammable as gasoline. But am I tempting fate by temporarily using the basement for reloading?
This is the part that concerns me. From the NRMA pages on the Basics of Reloading
7. Set up your reloading bench where powder and primers will not be exposed to heat, sparks or flame.
