I made this reloading bench after acquiring an old
portable work bench known as the Black & Decker "Work Mate".
All I needed to do is add a scrap piece of counter top material to
replace the worn out top and now it's as good as new. I use an
RCBS Rockchucker press and a Redding powder measure on this bench.
As for powder scales, I avoid the wind when using this at the
range by using a Dillon digital scale in the back of my Jeep.
Using this bench at the range, I can discover more handloading
information in a single day, than I used to get in two months.
The cost of this bench was almost nothing and this is a very solid
reloading bench. It folds up in a hurry, it's lightweight and
easy to transport. If you decide to make a bench like this, be
sure to build a table top that allows you to mount your press far from
the front of the table (like mine) so that your bench won't tip forward
when opperating the press handle.
