Reloading bench

The reloading bench is a world object .
==Overview==
The reloading bench's primary purpose is to facilitate converting different forms of ammunition into others after breaking them down into their components, making gathering otherwise useless ammunition very valuable. However, breaking down a different ammo type then the desired one will not give the correct casings and hulls for the latter, while all ammunition types commonly share lead, powder, and primer, so it does not equal a straight conversion.
==Characteristics==
Special actions that can undertaken at a reloading bench:
* You can hand-load your own rounds using certain raw materials. Note that the possible types of cartridges created depend on the level of your Repair skill, what ammunition specifications you have found, and whether or not you have the Hand Loader perk.
* You can also disassemble cartridges in your possession in order to obtain reloading materials. Note that breaking down cartridges doesn't return exactly all of the materials a round was made of, so be careful to avoid unintended processing of desired ammunition.
* Additionally, you can extract lead, a vital material, from piles of scrap metal. Tin cans and scrap metal can be used in combination with the shell or cartridge needed to make that type of junk round (requires the Junk Rounds perk from Dead Money).
==Locations==
Reloading benches can be found in almost all relatively large settlements. They can also be found around small encampments and outside stores:
* At the 188 Trading Post, next to Samuel Kerr's shack.
* Inside the Brotherhood of Steel safehouse.
* At Goodsprings, next to the general store, along with a workbench.
* In Freeside, inside Cerulean Robotics.
* Next to the Gun Runners stall in Freeside, near the Vendortron.
* Three are located in the Gun Runners' factory as well. It is advised you have high Sneak and/or Stealth Boys before entering, as it is considered trespassing.
* Inside Harper's shack to the left of the door.
* At Jacobstown, inside the lodge, upstairs inside the first room to the left of the righthand hallway.
* Inside the NCR Ranger safehouse, just in the kitchen next to a shelf of NCR armor.
* At Nellis Air Force Base inside the hangars.
* Inside the Nevada Highway Patrol station.
* At Nipton, in the house just east of the town hall.
* At North Vegas Square, inside The Gray.
* At Novac, inside the gas station.
* At Primm, inside the sheriff's office.
* Inside the Prospector's Den, at the very back near the Sunset Sarsaparilla vending machine.
* In the basement of the REPCONN test site, in the room with Davison.
* At Ranger Station Foxtrot, behind the crates near the comms tent.
* In the abandoned shack just north of the Yangtze Memorial.
===Dead Money===
* In the abandoned BoS bunker, in Elijah's room, next to a workbench.
* Inside the Villa police station, off the north hallway on the first floor.
===Honest Hearts===
* In Angel cave where you first meet Joshua Graham.
* In the Fallen Rock cave, where the Compliance Regulator can be found.
* Inside the Survivalist's quarters in Stone Bones cave.
===Old World Blues===
* Inside The Sink.
* In Ulysses' Point.
===Lonesome Road===
* Installing the add-on allows ED-E to act as a mobile reloading bench via dialogue options, even before starting the add-on. His counterpart is capable of the same.
* At the Junction 7 rest stop in a nearby ruined building.
* At the marked men guard outpost, in the open building.
==Notes==
* The reloading bench can only break down or convert standard ballistic ammunition into other types. Energy Weapons ammunition cannot be crafted at a reloading bench, instead requiring using a workbench.
* Some ammo types uses the same type of primer when crafting. When obtained from breaking down ammo, primers can then be used to create ammo of a different caliber. For example, a Primer, shotshell can be obtained from a 20 gauge shotgun shell, which can then be used to craft a 12 gauge shotgun shell.
==Bugs==
 Sometimes, when opening the reloading bench and hovering over any option in the left column and then moving to the right column and then back to the left to select something else, everything besides the "Exit" button becomes unclickable. Coming out of the menu and back on fixes this. It seems to happen by random chance.
