    Out with old and in with the new

    So i built this little reloading bench when I first moved here out of stuff I had lying around. It's done the job pretty well but with increasing calibers, more reloading crap and loading for mates it was a bit on the small side.

    I was at the hardware for some Gib and saw the ply and just couldn't help myself. Time for new reloading bench.

    Few shelves, tool holders and some bling and should do the job.

    Its always the way. It was fine then hard wired it in and not going. Probably just needs a jiggle.

    What do the extra switches in you pp do? Surely you don't have a waste disposal under the bench

    Under bench ball tickler. Makes reloading just that little bit more exciting.

    Nice work.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    All up and running. Lots of little bits and pieces to add like tool holders etc.

    Dog has assumed his position.

    That's a nice setup but for me I'd want the light directly over the bench, my eyes can't handle the contrast created by bright lights and shadows, can't see bugger all....and yeah that's reflected when I'm hunting as well!
    expect nothing, appreciate everything - and there's ALWAYS something to appreciate
