Been looking at getting into reloading for a while. Came across somebody that was selling their complete Dillon 550 reloading set up, so I took the plunge. I'm still looking at benches and bench designs at this point. Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated.

For me the three most important things are height, strength, and space.

Build your bench and bolt it to the wall for added rigidity.

Definitely screw it into the studs of the wall. A huge improvement.

Welcome! Which part of Oregon? I almost moved to Medford out of college.

 

Guys nailed it above, the more solid the bench the better the reloading experience.  I built my bench off the Shotgun Sports design, omitted the top cabinet though.

I'm from KFalls, Oregon. Just blew most of my savings on the reloading equipment, so now I have to figure out a somewhat economical way to build or buy a bench.

SCTaylor, thanks for the plans. That looks doable.
