Re: Loading bench layout
I agree, don't bother with a case lube pad. Buy a tin of imperial sizing wax and you're "sett" far life.
Re: Loading bench layout
Unique sizing wax does the same job for about a fiver a tub.
Re: Loading bench layout
Imperial Sizing Wax, accept no substitutes. :)

Re: Loading bench layout
Very true Imperial is no substitute for Unique lube.
Unique is as good if not better than Imperial at a lot less cost, best there is, every which way.

Re: Loading bench layout



It has moved on a bit from these photographs taken 17 odd years ago but it was my humble starting point in my then new gun room after 30 years of handloading.
Mr Badger has been there so knows more about my set ups than he is caring to let on.

Re: Loading bench layout
Ah, so that is what it looks like behind all the clutter... We've never actually seen the floor or walls afore.

Re: Loading bench layout
It doesn't look as tidy as this any more, but the general setup is the same apart from the addition of a digital lab scale.
