Reloading Bench

If you find a decent beck you may be able to drop a precut bench top from the Hardware and bolt it while bolting down a press.

As others said you want some weight. Helps when sizing cases. Especially if you are buying in a branch you won’t bolt to the floor.
 
I’ve posted mine before, but here is a new pic. As others have said, I can’t emphasize adding mass to your bench enough.

I just broke the decapping pin on my .375H&H die. Damn near flipped the bench on me trying to bust the primers out.

In my new house there is no basement and the garage is not heated. With this, I had to come up with something that met my wife's decor approval for the loft area of our home.

I bought a cast iron drafting table (online). The frame came in 3 pieces and weights around 400 lbs which ended up being perfect for mounting a rifle reloading press.

For a top I went to Home Depot and bought and mounted the pictured wooden kitchen island top.

A bit fancy for me but got her approval so it works.

I like that the table can easily crank up or down for sitting or standing.

The only advice I'll give is stability and weight are very important.

That’s one of the nicest benches I’ve ever seen. Great idea.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
