Those pesky holidays and relatives are going to keep me from getting more done until after New Years, but such is life.


I hear you loud and clear, brother.


Your photos are great, and your name has (temporarily) been removed from the Reloading Police Go See & Harass list. But you have been warned !

So is the stability to your liking ? Any impressions you can share with your fan club about stiffness with and without the press stand ?

It is with great relief that I hear your good news, and the fact that I may not soon see the Reloading Police is a great worry taken from me!   :-[

I've only spent a few hours using the equipment, but it was very easy and comfortable to do.  The bench and the riser/press combination are all rock solid, no wobble, shake or shimmy.  Thanks for the tip on the Ultramount, it really is a quality product.  The height worked out just right, I believe, and I can stand or sit with the same convenient reach.  I think if I collect powders and calibers like some people, I may outgrow the storage space in the cabinet, but I can build more storage when and if the time comes.

I like being able to sweep the area under the bench, and so far I can attest to having no trouble finding primers that launched in random directions.  I didn't have the light hooked up before today, so I can't say if it's going to be sufficient, but it seems to put plenty of light right at the loading ram and down in the case.  I want to store the Brass-O-Matic and media, empty brass, bullets and maybe targets in this area, so it will take some finesse to get done in a way that allows for the needs of today and tomorrow.  I'm in a relatively large space, but it also has to serve other purposes, so I'm trying to account for every square foot I use.

This is a fun project for me; I don't know if showing what I'm doing is going to help anyone, but I've already learned a ton from this site and wanted to participate in what basic way I can.
