If you need big heaters and your tools rust then its time to head indoors.

Garage, its good enough, dry enough and you can hide! Little chilly in winter, but bearable.
I personally don't like to be interrupted when reloading, so its in, build, out!

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.

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.

There is a difference between loading in the garage and storing kit in there.
Dies etc all kept in the house, press stays in the shed and doesn't rust (regular use probably helps this as the spare has started to rust) but the rest taken out and brought back as and when, also means you only have the one type of primer and powder to hand.
Thanks for looking
Thankfully I only use 2 types of powder and if I swapped either it would not be dangerous as the loads are v close, but its a good point. Many years ago a colleague had a near miss when his F Open rifle blew up. He did not have the confidence to hand load so a local RFD did it for him. Rumor was he used to reload on the shop counter and kept various powder bottles nearby, so it looks like a fast powder went in by accident. Went very quiet that one
I do have the radio on, you just have to get your process right, quick look accross the tray of cases before you load the bullets etc from different angles and you will see if any are not filled. This is one reason why I am not keen on progressive units as you may not notice a fault.
I keep the powder in either the 1kg bottles or 3KG plastic cans in a lockable plastic box.
To be honest if you give the press an occasional oil, and use it a lot, it wont rust.
