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.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
