What special tool is in your gun room?

[Vern Humphrey]

A $20 toaster over from WalMart -- to bake powder coating on cast bullets.

A good solid handloading bench, a good solid gun repair bench, lots of well constructed wall storage, good lighting.

Thanks for the great info. I don’t have a dedicated gun room, but some ideas for my workshop.

I forgot about one of my most used accessories. I have a filing cabinet that I keep targets in. Fresh targets, and used targets. The used targets are filed under the gun I used to shoot them. Notes are kept on the target such as custom loads, poa, etc.
You'd be surprised how many times I have referred back to them for forgotten load info .

A Lyman case trimmer--a motor built into their standard trimmer----i have had it about 40 years---still works like new. I don't see it in their catalog anymore--guess it got too expensive.
