    New reloading room...





    I got tired of doing all my loading out in the garage. The 100 degree days during the summer and the 20 degree days during the winter really made getting any meaningful amount of ammo made a hassle. So I took the "catch-all" room and did some mods. The cabinets and countertop only took a couple hours. I have a Dillon XL650 that I'll be setting up and a RCBS Rockchucker press.

    I'll post more pics when I get the press's and other stuff setup.

    Very Nice. Call me paranoid, but carpeting and a computer close to where you will be handling primers and gunpowder? I would be inclined to use an antistatic mat and move the computer farther away from the reloading setup. Nice Dillon press. Is that a Giraud trimmer on the bench?

    Thanks.... Yes that is a Giraud trimmer. I couldn't live without it.

    When we were in an apartment I had a reloading setup in the back room. It was fully carpeted and I had no problems. Is the concern static build-up? I'm a fairly smart guy about many things, but electricity is something I never had an aptitude for.

    I'm a static shock magnet! I arc on everything! I have a habit of bumping everything I touch with the heel of my hand before I touch it.

    I can barely feel the discharge that way. If I forget I can get actual blue sparks from finger tip to object! Hurts like a "female dog" sometimes too.

    Oh yeah. Mama is gonna want a new kitchen since you are now a qualified cabinet installer!

    That looks great, but I would be concerned about the static electricty, does not take much for gunpowder.....

    I have no personal experience (thankfully) but I have read that a static charge could produce a spark which could cause a KFB.
