I haven't seen any threads on reloading and thought that I'd start one.
Here is a pic of my current setup, it's tight quarters. I'm going through a divorce and had to get my own place with significantly less room than my old house.

I reload .380, 9mm, .45, .223 & 12gauge. My metallic presses are all Lee and they've all been flawless. My shotshell press is MEC. Everything is progressive, except for one single stage that I reload for my one bolt gun on.

Completely disassembled my father's a little over 7 years ago(he died in 2000) when my mother sold the house & built(relocated) to the town here where my wife & I live..Wish I would have taken a pic of it but when she moved, we brought everything & have it stored in her garage...

He reloaded every caliber from .38 thru 30-06s(never fooled with shot gun reloads though)....Made is own lead wadcutter bullets for his 38 target practice shooting.....In '86 after I bought a 3 lb diving weight mold, I asked him to make me a few weights...Next time I went home he had 40 of the prettiest 3 lb weights ready for us(never told him how many ---was expecting a dozen or so)..When I asked about the number of weights he had made, he said it was from some of his shooting lead he had stored in the barn...Said he kept 400 to 500 lbs of it on hand......
 
This is years ago and it's grown considerably.

They have a way of multiplying. It seems like scuba gear does the same thing...

Reloaders are familiar with the saying "buy it cheap and stack it deep" I've never done any casting. You should dust off his equipment.

You're a blue guy. They are some damn good looking presses, is it a 1050 and 650? The only thing missing is an auto drive.
 
Growing up I used to cast my own 9mm lead with old wheel weights. Spent many a day banging together 9, 45, 30-30, 30-06 rounds with lee loaders.
