    Default Reloading Bench

    Just got my new house (moving from lame small apartment). Now I need a reloading bench. Is there something out that someone would recommend?
    Just an FYI Im a noob to reloading. I have a 650 that has been siting in the box for 6 months and intend to learn on that.

    I was thinkig:

    I built mine. Just framed it up with 2x4's and put a section of counter top on it from Home Depot. It works quite well.

    One thing I would recommend is a bench without a drawer under the front. I find myself c-clamping a lot of stuff to the bench. Case trimmer, powder measure, etc.

    I'm all for building something on the cheap, nothing I've seen commercial made is strong enough. As ray1970 said, 2x4, 2x6 and countertop or nice MDF.

    Be sure and check out the reloading bench thread somewhere on there....

    I'm using:

    http://www.samsclub.com/sams/ultra-h....ip?navAction=

    study metal frame and a nice solid wood piece on the top.

    I tried building my own and honestly after spending all this money and time on wood I would of been better off just buying the work bench I have now.

    This is an older pic but built this one under $100 including the light. The dresser was a "freebie" for paperwork, spare parts and such.

    this is th bench I picked up at Sam's. It was so nice that I didn't want to drill holes in the top, so I built a stand for my press.
