  1. Just get a 3/4" sheet of plywood. Good stuff, not that press board. 2 - 8' 4x4's and ask them to cut them in half for you if you don't have the saw to do it with. Get a couple of 2x4's and hammer those to the outside edge of the plywood. Put the 4x4's that you cut at the corners for legs. Screw all the parts to each other again. Done. Heavy, sturdy, won't wobble around and you can stand on it table for reloading. Adjust measurements or cuts as you see fit.

    any good building plans out there for making your own reloading bench from scratch?

    Thanks a lot for your help. Mind if I ask what type of screws to get and what drill I would need?

  2. 44mag has glock factory mags in stock now but you'd have to be a Colorado resident to be willing to pay $60 piece for them. Glad I ordered from Natchez :)

  3. Mine is 3/4" ply with 3/4" mdf glued to that with a top coat of 3/4" tongue / groove bamboo flooring 6" plank glued to that. This sits above hickory cabinets bolted to the wall. Sounds like overkill but with a 650 mounted on a strong mount with case feeder things want to move.. Laminated materials stop that!!! Cost for a 30" x 5' bench top was less than $80.00. Lowes hickory cabinet bottoms on sale were just useful bling!!! Yes, sturdy is good!!!

    How much do you estimate it weighs? How much weight do you think would be good enough?

  4. Just solid. 4" think solid. It's 4" because it's 6' long w/o a center support & 20" deep. Works great. In stead of a reloading room like most of my friends I have reloading closet, so I got a 4" thick solid peice of hickory. Good to go. Hope this helps.

    Is there a specific attribute of hickory that makes it good for a reloading bench? Just wondering in case I can't find 4" thick hickory sheets and my local hardware stores.

  5. I was wondering if there is formula to know how many rounds an 8 lb keg of powder will fill a given cartridge? I'm trying to figure out how much money different cartridges will cost to shoot. I'd like to order 1 training days of factory loaded rounds(all from the same lot) more than what an 8 lb keg will reload(because I've heard the same powder from a different batch may burn differently) so by the time I have enough fire-formed brass to start developing a load and handloading I still have an emergency reserve available. Any constructive criticism you have is welcome. Thank you.

  6. Just got back from SHOT Show this morning. Pretty much impossible to buy anything because every single manufacturer is maxed out and most won't even provide an estimate for when they'll be able to ship.

    Anyone know of a rifle manufacture that's hiring in Las Vegas? Only ones I've heard of are FIME group and New Frontier Armory. I got a full time job in the afternoons, maybe I can help someone out in the mornings :)

  7. if you find a place with either, give us a link below :) I'm personally looking for black pmags and spikes lowers.

    At this point I think you are better off looking for unicorns. I am sure people would tell you AFTER they bought them. Pickings are slim to say the least. Magpul is back ordered over a year at this point. Stag Arms and LTM are rumored to be two years behind. As for a spikes lower, check out JD machine as they produce spikes (or are one of spikes sources). They are about 8 weeks out for lowers.

    Looks like JD machines only carries lowers with government logos on them.
