Rick - Looks nice and you have lots of stuff there. On the reloading dies I went ahead and bought 3 die sets for everything that I am going to reload which includes a full length resizing die as well as just a neck sizing die.
I'm gonna hold off on the sheetrock as this house is going on the market next year and we are building our dream home on some acreage that I got screwed on, oh I mean bought last year. Where I bought, land is outragously priced but that is where my bride wants to live and I do to really but if we would have gone 15 miles west instead of 15 miles east I would have been able to get 150 acres for the same price that I paid for 11 acres. Anyway to my point the house plans actually have a neat little space between the garage and back porch designated the fly tying shop. I'm going to change that and call it the master reloaders quarters...... and dedicate it to my reloading activities. Either that or increase the size of my regular office in the finished basement to include a "back room" for reloading. But I already have my downstairs office plans drawn up and I am putting in a fireproof vault behind the bookshelves with a hidden vault door to house my ever growing gun collection. Hey what the heck, my wife is designing theeekitchen and master bath so I might as well spen some of my hard earned money on my man spaces......
Thanks again to everybody for all the help. If all goes right I should be loading some rounds in a few weeks, right now I am reading the Hornady reloading handbook and trying to make some sense of it all and I have a local guy who I met on Missouri Whitetails that is going to give me some lessons at his house.....
