We have our reloading equipment setup in a old school bus that used to be used as a mobile BBQ restaurant. Now it is Immobile and has barely any room for much of anything because of everything that we have for storage of all equipment.

I know someone who has been divorced for ten years and always says that if his wife comes back she will kill him because he bolted all his presses to the formal dinning table! LOL :what:
 
Lucky for me both my boys are grown and gone, so I have an entire former bedroom for gun stuff. The wife has one for her hobbies too.
It does get a little tedious trying to vacuum spent primers out of the carpet though....

Just one out so far, but the wife let me have the room. Beats the heck out of the garage.
 
Some twenty years ago when we were building our basement rec room, I built myself a work shop and reloading room in the far end of the basement not part of our impending rec room. I'm still using it today. :)
 
It's the basement for me. The wife got one of the empty bedrooms for a sewing room, the other empty bedroom is for company.

But this works out for me. There is more room in the basement. Plus it's easier to shop vac up the dropped primers and powder spills from the concrete.
 
Basement. Have an "L" shape area & a bench in each leg. 2-550's on one side & 2 or 3 single & turret presses on the other side. also some shelves for various [Stuff].. Russ.
 
My wife calls it "the clubhouse". A shed, back about 90 feet from the house. Two Dillon 550's, one Square Deal B, a Rock Chucker, and various support items (mutiple Uniflow measures, tumbler, PACT auto powder measure and scale, and PACT Pro Chronograph, etc). I used to be a commercial reloader, now just load for myself. Amenities are various yard sale chairs, DVD player and minifridge, and a 25-50 yard range out back. To me, it's the ultimate mancave. Primary beverages are coffee and Bailey's, after the shooting stops.

I have a 26x40ft shop at my home with a reloading room in it. Am in the process of moving everything to my ranch where I have a newly built 3500 sq ft shop and have a 600 yd range that can be shot from the reloading room. Working up/developing loads and being able to shoot them instantly and tweak in a matter of minutes is simply awesome. Shooting in the rain and even at night to 100 yards are possible.
 
Right now I'm setup in the garage but I'm planning on moving this spring/summer and will probably be upgrading my reloading space to an outbuilding/morton building.
 
Since my wife and I were not able to have kids, I have one of the extra bedrooms and she has the other for her stuff. Works out great.
 
I put mine in the garage because down here we have screen doors that we can close acrosss the front when the garage doors are open. It's like being outside except there's no bugs and no rain. I don't like being closed in.
 
I am supremely jealous.

My reloading equipment is on top of a black and decker workmate, in my dining room/kitchen/living room. Oh apartment life.
 
Mxracer239y, don't feel too bad. For 8 years, while we toured the US in the motor home, my bench was whatever picnic table was at the camp site where we happened to stop. :D
 
In the garage for now. We don't have any children and for some reason we must keep a guest bedrroom and a junk/workout room in the house. I am going to try and change that next spring though. Wish me luck.
 
In my study/office. I dont have a ton of reloading stuff, just DPS 3 powder dispenser, a rockchuker press and a rcbs 505. Plus a few knick knacks
 
I setup in the garage. It's cold out there, but I have a 3 month old baby and don't want to risk exposing him to lead by reloading in the house.
 
Hah, I got half the bedroom. :neener: We had too much room in it so I set up a bench there and I am also setting up space in my 16x24 wood shop for my casting. Guess I got it better than I thought. :D
 
At one time I lived in an apartment and had my reloading setup on a B&D WorkMate in the bathroom. Now I'm in a 20X36 outbuilding in the back yard.
 
In my large walk-in closet. Closet is way too big, and a small desk and chair fit great in there. I'm in the AC and I can leave everything set up and close the door.
 
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen the words "closet" and "too big" in the same sentence before. LOL

Lucky you, that sounds like a sweet setup. I'm in the garage, but it's heated during the winter and I have a window shaker for summer. Not bad, really.
