Hello everyone! I did a quick search without finding an answer, but if I missed a good thread please direct me.
I finally moved into a house where I have room to reload, so I want to get started, even though there is nothing available at the moment.
The basement is currently empty, so I have the opportunity to set an area for reloading before the "stuff" moves in. I have seen a single cabinet as a reloading bench, and I have seen the 24' bench, as well as plans for a few styles of benches, so it seems that like so many other things there is no clear-cut answer of what is 'right', but I am hoping to benefit from everyone's good choices, and learn from their mistakes.
What is the minimum size that you would recommend, as in you aren't always wishing you had more room?
What is too much room (if there is such a thing)?
It seems most are about two feet deep. Is there an advantage to going deeper, or does it mean you are reaching over things and causing yourself problems?
Do you have any recommendations regarding storage?
Thank you for your help!
P.S.: I saw a few good threads for first time reloaders, but I am sure I didn't see them all. I would appreciate directions to some others.
