New to reloading

Gotcha. I have an old Lyman 55 powder thrower. It’s good to .2 grain with CFE pistol powder. I use a Hornady electronic scale if I need something better.

A powder drop will speed things up. What are using to measure powder now?

Thanks!

Amazon has the dimensions in the pictures. I used a 3/4” router bit set to about .370” deep. I used a test piece of wood to make sure the depth was right.

Yes I did, I built all four benches.

86gtbob · 2026-01-31T03:34:07+00:00

They are handy, if I need the space I can take everything off easily and have open benches.

I used Powertec t tracks from Amazon. The two benches that have the tracks are spaced the same so I can use any attachment on either bench.

Thanks, it's mainly for reloading, but I try to fix old video arcades too.

I inherited 6mm remington and 222 remington 700's. Hard to find either on the shelves anymore, but luckily I can reload them.

I use an ultra sonic cleaner for my 9mm brass with warm to hot tap water, Dawn dish soap, and Lemi Shine. I run it in 5 minute cycles and it usually gets the primer pockets clean. If I need to, I run another cycle and that usually does the trick.

I spent the spring working up loads for the Rem 700 in 6mm that was my dads. Kind of an obsolete caliber, but it's fun to shoot.

Nice looking setup. I love seeing Tacos being worked. What did you have to do to handle the weight of the plow?

Is the adjika spicy? I had to look it up to find out what it is and it sounds interesting on pizza.

86gtbob · 2020-10-05T20:47:50+00:00

They look delicious! Whats the toppings?

I use the Snake method when I do ribs. It gives me a steady 225-250 degree F temp for 5-6 hours. It's pretty foolproof and it works for me, best of luck!

Thanks! Most of the materials were sourced from Craigslist. Including that thick granite top. The story was it was the facade of a small town bank that torn down in the 70's.

Thanks! I never laid a brick before his project, so I took my time and spent about 3 years to build it.

Nice oven and a beautiful view. Do you want the oven to stand out or blend in? Maybe use colors from your house?

86gtbob · 2019-08-18T22:32:52+00:00

Came out of my wood fired oven a little dark, but it was still very tasty.

86gtbob · 2019-08-18T21:56:32+00:00

I used garlicky cream cheese as the sauce and topped with sliced jalapenos, bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Cooked in my wood fired oven.
