himurax13 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I am preparing to be what will most likely be another Virginia winter that will be under 40 degrees on the average. I was looking for a decent electric vest/half glove solution to keep me warm while I operate my 550. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about a Kerosene heater, but that doesn't seem as safe, especially with my supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oteroman Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Get a parabolic electric heater. They sell them at Costco. They focus the heat wonderfully. You point it at you at you get toasty quick. Perfect for your application. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 When I lived North (NY), I used to reload enough ammo in the nice months to get me thru the winter. Now that I'm South (FL), I reload enough ammo during the winter to get me thru the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwes Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I live in Virginia Beach, I load in a 12x16 shed . I've been using a Kerosene heater for years with no issues at all. Warm and toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they use a lot of electricity. You can use plastic curtains, or just sheets of plastic, to separate your reloading bench area from the rest of the drafty garage, they are inexpensive and work very well. Once you have that area separated, it will be easy to get it comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
