    How do you heat it? Mine is attached to the house so it wouldn't be too difficult to insulate it to some extend although I'm being drawn to a nice comfy spare room....

    Mine is also integral & insulated. Got a large space heater and got anti-condensation heaters in my storage lockers. Also got a good selection of thermal gear from working offshore for years.

    How much reloading are you planning on doing?
    If it's not a lot - say 50 rounds a week, then the garage will be fine, particularly if you choose to do them when it's relatively good weather.
    Alternatively, if you're planning on doing a lot, and spending hours at a time in an ice cold garage, the spare room might be the better option.
    Personally, I wouldn't consider the spare room option, it's part of my hobby and I don't mind if I have to "rough it a bit".

    I'd say the garage is fine for things designed to be used outside, but to me reloading gear isn't.

    Not use your ammo outside then??

    There are garages & GARAGES...…………..My mate has his all insulated & carpeted with a wood burner heater. He does tend to pamper his motor bikes & his Morgan a wee bit though!

    I think I might have fitted a dishwasher for him... was he an electrician and did work in the Morgan factory?

    Most of us have non insulated garages, no heating etc...left my Wilson reloading gear out once and I was shocked when I went to use it again because it was left out in the cold..

    Ammo is NOT reloading gear though is it

    A "garage" usually has a non weather proof vehicle access, regularly opened so damp & cold gets in, which will cause corrosion to items intended for use indoors.
