Portable Reloading station ideas.

[Footballkckr7]

Hi everyone,
I am very new to OSA and this is my first ever post. I am also very new to shooting. Going basically on my second year. I am looking to start reloading pistol and rifle ammunition in the near future but I need it to be a portable work station as I don't have a garage to work with. I have seen a few ideas floating around from googling it, but none where a person can sit down and comfortably work. Anyone have any experience with this and/or have pictures of their own set up? Thanks in advance. God Bless,
Dustin

Oh, and welcome to OSA and to the wonderful hobby (obsession) of reloading

I own three presses. MEC shotgun. RCBS for bottleneck cartridges. Dillon Square Deal for straight wall cases.

I use a Black and Decker Workmate as a stand. The presses I attach to a wood 2 by plank, then tighten into the Workmate. When I'm done the Workmate folds up.

I had a super simple setup. I had a Lee single stage and a turret press mounted on a small piece of plywood. I would drag it in from the garage, clamp it to the coffee table with C-clamps and load away while watching TV.

The International Code of Bachelorhood handbook said this was ok.

Almost forgot, these are as simple as it gets. I've loaded some mighty good ammo on one of these.

After decades of reloading, I still use 2 layers of 3/4" MDF glued and screwed together (About 2'x3') as a portable reloading surface. I put countersunk bolts with washers from the bottom, that way I can attach the press and clamp the whole mess to our kitchen table, bar or shop bench when needed. I welded up stands for powder measures that screw to the surface. Everything's in the same place each time.

When done with a batch or load development, everything gets broken down and stored in an old footlocker and a plastic tub. Out of the way, clean and dry. Good for me when I moved frequently (Army) and now, having a herd of kids that get into everything.

Simple, inexpensive and effective.
