Here's a couple miscellaneous questions I didn't find answers to in the stickies above:
Does anyone have their setup in an unheated space? The wife just had a brand new workbench built for me for XMas, and it's in our unheated garage. I thought about starting up reloading out there, but I'm concerned that the extremes of heat in the summer and cold in the winter would make it an unsuitable work and storage area for components. How do reloading components react to heat and cold?
If you work in such a space, how do you make the area comfortable? A space heater in the garage feels like a disaster waiting in the wings. A fan in the summer feels like it'd cause issues with powder and dust.
Does anyone own the Lee Hand Press? I'm looking at it for my first piece of kit, as it's easy enough to put away, and I won't be loading crate upon crate of ammo. Mostly just wadcutters for the wife's wheelgun and Makarov for myself. Cabelas has a kit containing the hand press for a reasonable price before dies, but they also sell the Lee Precision for an equally low price. Is one a better piece of equipment than the other?
I simply cannot reload in the house. I have a one year old little boy zooming around the place, and can't have lead and carbon residues all over my office area where he's crawling around and touching things. Of course, I could always get the hand press and load in the basement...
