Have you still got those videos of the automated one in action?
A couple of images of my setup:

The workshop was in pretty bad shape when I moved in, but after 2 sheets of ply and some screws I had a clean flat surface to work on and even had some spare timber to make extra shelving.
Absolutely, that thing is really farkin cool!
Wow! there's some great pics up here now.. good stuff guys. I have recently aquired a few more presses so have had to change the man cave around abit!

Tobes it's good to see you've got an actual set up now, not just a desk in your room and a hammer....
I guess evolution is real, I have gone from primitive to more advanced technology.
I wouldn't say that's advanced - just stoopid to a bit safer ;)
more advanced then a hammer.
My jaw just dropped, these look more like hvy duty armourer setups for 100s strong local militias than personal setups.
very nice!
:D
@Spanners that auto press is just way cool LOL.
:D
Believe it or not, I was given all that by a guy who had reached an age where he just couldnt do it anymore, I was extremely fortunate to be given 4 presses, loads of dies, carriers, lead pots, moulds, powder, primers, proj. cases, books! all because I offered to make him some ammo on my original little Lee press, The good side of Karma I like to think...
He didn't know how easy it is to change calibres on these presses, so had one for each.
Cheers for the comment!
Nice to see you have x2 fire extinguishers in there too :thumbsup:
everyone seems to have very tidy reloading areas, mine is an absolute mess. haha

New to the reloading game, but completly hooked! Currently loading for my .223 and 7mmMag and my brothers 270win, all T3's. Just finished setting up my bench last weekend.
There certainly appears to be a real mix of setups. All look productive.
Here's mine, only been reloading for a few years after buying a 270WSM - Factory ammo is way to expensive:

Anyone here not start with a Lee kit of some sort?

Nope
I started with a Lee Classic Loader in .243
I still use my first Lee press too.
Bought them both in 1980 and they're still going strong. :)

Hehe, Lee is good enough IMHO, (ducks flame wars)
Seriously, Lee is good enough to start with IMHO. Some of the best and most informed shooters Ive met use Lee. Now if you want to get loading volume like 100s a week, OK...but 100 a month?
The $199 Lee 50th kit is a good start to get a return on your investment with. Bear in mind by the time you get the other bits you need you will probably spend $600~700 ish...things like dies etc and cleaners all add to that $199.
Most of you are tidy buggers.Mines a bit of a mess but I can usually find things

Just a quick question . I never got into reloading mores the pity but ive braught and sold or given away some mint gear . Now that ive got a custom chambering its the inly sencible option what i want to know about the lee kit is will it load my rounds to the same spec they are now if i do my bit. The load is spectacularly accurate 1/4 moa if im shooting well and want to be able to repeat this for long range. Or should i go with the likes of hornady or lyman for a press off the bat?

Lee kit would be fine. Just find out the load data from who ever did your loading and also whether they neck sized only and crimped at all. As long powder weight and seating depth is the same you shouldnt notice any diff.
Yea, they are great little kits. Wasn't sure if it was something I would continue on with or not, so a good way to get started without outlaying too much coin. Replaced the scales asap, didn't like waiting 5+ secs each time for them to stop moving...what magnetic dampening?
Ok so here's my Reloading Bench .... and No I didn't clean it up for your viewing pleasure. :)
It always looks like this or sometimes it's even worse.
More Lee Presses than you can shake a stick at. :thumbsup:
The Lee Classic press on the left was purchased new by me 34yrs ago as a 16 year old when I first became addicted to reloading and it's still going strong. :P
Who said Lee gear is rubbish.
L to R: Forster Bonanza Co-Ax Press, Lee Classic Press, Lee Load Master and another Lee Load Master. :)
Absent is a Lyman T-Spar which is out on loan to a newby spreading the love to an emerging addict.

Finally got around to getting a pic of my bench. Bench is a scaled up NRA bench you see plans around for. Cupboards are custom and raised up for more bench space. Mounted the presses as pictured to allow space for working on rifles etc in the middle. Modified A cat safe with shelf clips for ammo storage. I think the reloading bug has got in deep.........
