[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 3695440, member: 49426"] Reloading in the living space presents a few challenges 1 you should do it on a hard smooth sweepable surface. Spilled powder should be swept not vacuumed. The sparks from the motor in the vacuum are an ignition risk shot, if you load for a shotgun, and primers are also an issue if vacuuming. The small heavy bits are hell on the vacuum as the go through 2 distractions are to be avoided when reloading. Double charge a case and all the benefits go up in smoke. No spouse, kids, or pets demanding attention during this activity. 3. Portable vs fixed bench Bench design is very personal and it needs to fit you and your needs Get the height right or your back will ache Make it stout enough your not fighting it every time you pull the handle components and equipment should be easy to access and see too small or cramped and you spill stuff everywhere reloading is fussy and involves a lot of small bits. Good lighting is a must 4 accessibility Yes you need to secure the components against unwanted access. The degree of need varies by household and maturity of the occupants. I know folks that do it inside, and the components are best stored in a climate controlled space. nothing wrong with portable or collapsing reloading rigs. I have a bench that mounts to a receiver hitch on a truck.
