Title: Reloading bench
Post by: Bob Smith on February 19, 2021, 04:00:11 PM: Figured with the wet weather it was time to work inside on a reloading bench and storage area. Bought four kitchen base cabinets and a 10 foot preformed counter top. Need to head to town for some 1x4 material. Hopefully have enough storage for stuff but know that won’t be the case.

Agreed, much better view than from my bench in basement. Here again l can’t get supplies so it’s all on hold atm.

Need to knock the cistern out of the basement and pour some concrete before I can start building walls though. Planning on building a secure and climate controlled room in the basement for both reloading and storage as the safe is full and no more room for another or larger safe.

Sounds like a nice addition for sure. Nice thing about a secure storage room is it can't be hauled away. Wish my storage and reloading could be in the same space but I will make it work.

Isn't that like 50's to 60's??

That was my go-to deer rifle. A Marlin 336 in .35 Remy. Muzzle velocity was around 75 miles per hour but it just kept going.
