I bought an old heavy duty, government metal table, bolted a ¾” plywood on top and set up my presses on it. It’s in my garage, and I have cabinets above and plastic containers below holding my stuff. Cramped, but works.

As you get into reloading, you will acquire so much equipment, components and general crap that you’ll run out of space. Make sure you either go big initially or have room to expand. Storage is important.

I weigh/trickle charges for certain loads. I have an old Lyman M5 beam scale. I bought a heavy duty metal storage rack about 18”x 24” that stands to my right as I face the bench. I put my scale on that, so I can load, etc, without shaking the beam.

So, you might want to think maybe several work areas close together depending on what you want to do.

Then, you will probably have to consider a powder measure, scale (beam, electronic) and a chronograph to make sure your bullets don’t bounce off the pop-up metal targets.
