May be a little homemade but it saves space.

Doubled up wafer is a good idea-I was thinking 2x10 under your front edge would add stiffness but the wafer looks well planned and executed for that purpose. Lots of brass to get filled up there!
 
Two 1/2 or 3/8 inch plywood glued and screwed together. Then 2x4s where the stress is applied.
 
When moving around for work we lived in a trailer house for a couple of years. I used an old Black and Decker workmate with a 3/4 inch plywood c clamped to the top with the edge reinforced with a 2x4 as a reloading bench. It’s whatever works for you to keep you in ammo.
 
I might wish to clamp it to the saw horses just to keep the backside from tipping up if you really have to bear down on that handle?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.
