    Reloading bench

    I am not able to set up a designated reloading bench where I live. I am considering building a portable bench that I can take out and put away when not in use. Does anyone have experience with type set up? If so any advise and pictures?
    Thanks!

    This is what I load off of. It's a simple single stage Lee press that I set up on a bench grinder stand from harbor freight. It takes up about 2 square feet in the corner of my office.

      You can bolt the press to a 16'x24' x 3/4 inch piece of plywood and "C" clamp it onto a table when you want to use it, and put it away after
      you won't damage the table

        This is what my father-in-law did. Worked very well for him.

          That's how I started and it worked well for small cartridges but didn't work well at all for big magnums.

            Looks pretty similar to mine. except mine is all wood made from an old shelve.

              That's what I'm looking for. I'll be reloading 7mm-08.

                I made a small portable reloading bench from 3/4" plywood, installed laminate on the top and sides. For the legs, I used 2" pipe attached to the underside of the table with 2" floor flanges. Evertything is availble at Lowes or Home Depot.

                  I have mine bolted to harbor freight bench grinder stand. Works well no issues resizing, easy to move outside and load on the patio or anywhere needed.

                  Even enough room to attach powder drop side by side with the press. They are reasonably priced at harbor freight. Be sure you grab the discount coupon out of your NRA magazine.

                    Lee makes a hand press that doesn't need a bench at all.

                      Ike ( big tex.308) had a nice set up when he lived next to me. Not sure how he is set up now, but it was clean and organized and he had all the tools set up on the bench.

                        I've seen people use heavy wood bar stools! Looks like a nice solid set up.
