    Mine is all in the garage. If it goes up then at least its not in the house.

    I keep all my dies in old H83 ammo containers on the shelf which are water tight, and the press has a cover but is generally rust free. Only the odd Lee die may pick up some rust but generally not.

    I put carpet on the floor for safety should I drop a primer then scrape it under foot, or drop a round (unlikley to go off but it has happened).

    Otherwise the garage is fine. Mine is bricked up with a normal wooden door however rather than a garage door.

    When reloading never have anything else going on that can distract you, TV, even radio, or load when tired. Been there, I failed to put powder into three of a batch of 50 17 Ackley Hornet cases, primer lodged the bullet in the barrel. That was when tired.

    I use G clamps available from most decent DIY stores to clamp dispenser, press etc to a table, this can of course be any table anywhere. Then the stuff can be taken down at the end of the session. Keeps everyone happy. Garage I would not recommend, unheated = condensation = RUST.
