ropsitos Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 So I picked up a new XL650 and wanted to set it up on the same bench in a way that would allow me to still use the single stage press Right now that bench also doubles as my table saw outfeed, so the single stage press was setup so i can remove it when i need the bench. Turned out that the mounting block I made for the single stage could accommodate the 650 as well. To use one or the other I remove the bolts that hold the mount to the bench, spin it around, and re-insert the bolts, and start using the other press. Just wanted to share in case it would help someone else out. Mount is made from doubled 3/4" ply I had as scrap from a built in project I did. .

ZackJones Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Who needs a Dillon Strong Mount when you have scrap plywood around. Very cool idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerassassin22 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 How stable is that setup? Just wondering I know it needs to be strong so the casefeeder will actually feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropsitos Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Its pretty stable. I've been decapping about 2000 of 9mm on the dillon and did probably near a 1000 of 40 through the grx die on the single stage and it seems pretty solid. Prior to having the dillon I did all my reloading on the single stage attached to that block with out problem. I do think some stiffening of the base bench wouldn't be out of the question though. I won't really know how the dillon preforms until I load on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
