RE: Spaces Needed
I have one room that is my hobby/storage room. That is where my reloading stuff is. There is a small maybe 24x36" desk built in with 4 drawers. I have reloading stuff all over it, and try to keep it organized, but it just keeps piling up. I also have an old high school science desk that I use for my actual reloading. It is big enough. I also have a small cheap bookshelf from Walmart that holds my powder and various books. I just get all the components from wherever they are (desk or book shelf), reload and then put everything away. This way there is no confusion, and what I have on the reloading bench itself is what I need for that session. Seems to work ok. When I get my own house, there is definately going to be a small dedicated room for guns/reloading. A good sized bench of 8 feet by 30-36" or so on one side. Drawers underneath where I don't need to sit, and a shelving unit above. Locking drawers for holding powder.
