27+ Reloading Bench Ideas That Hit The Target

What is an ammo reloading bench or reloading table?

For those of you that already know, it may be a simple question about your reloading room. However, for the new hobbyists, a good reloading bench (or reloading table) is a bench top that is used to make your ammunition. This work bench holds your reloading equipment, including your reloading press, possibly a drawer or two for storage space, reloading supplies, guns, shell holder, trimmer, shell holder, case feeder, powder measure, bolt tool, and screws.

How they are all stored and designed will depend on your bench plans. A simple design has a lower shelf below the work top, providing some storage room for all the extra things. You should also consider a wall storage rack or cabinet if possible.

What’s the best material for your bullet reloading bench plans?

Much of this will come down to your budget. The cheaper option is to use a plywood top, with the more expensive option being a metal construction. Whichever material you choose, it needs to be strong and stable.
