johnson184 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Have 2 1050s ordered with 2 MrBulletFeeders along with a single stage press. Wondering how much space is recommended in between presses. I'm hoping to only have to drill one set of holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC702 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Doesn't matter. You'll change it later anyway. It really depends on how long your bench is. No such thing as too much space between them, but obviously you have a limitation with what else needs to also be on the bench. For those presses, I'd guess at least two feet clear between them would be doable, but I'd prefer at least three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 If you can afford two 1050's with Mr Bullet's, you can afford to build more bench space with upper and lower cabinets and lights! There is no rule, whatever you are comfortable with. Me. I got the Po-Boy setup, a tiny corner of the laundry room.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfalcon00 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah I just have the one press and can't say I've ever really thought about it. Sounds like a great problem to have though haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjohn Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have mine set up several hundred miles apart and separated by crossing four state lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have a 9 foot bench with 3 Dillon loaders on it evenly spaced. (650. 1050, 900 in that order) I wouldn't want them any closer to each other... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpops Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have mine spaced as far apart as possible. I find it useful especially when loading different calibers.....no chance of mixing up powders, primers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 My bench is of generous size - 15' long, 3' wide. There are five presses total, with two 1050's on the right half. What I found is - if your goal is just operation of the presses, then a foot between them is sufficient. But if you also want the access to the bench behind them, then give it at least your shoulder width - about 2'. Due to my bench's width I routinely need to reach to its back area, so I actually don't have enough room - I wish I had more. If your bench is fairly narrow, like 24", then this concern disappears. On that long bench I have two spots about 3' wide, which I use for assorted tasks like packing ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 That's not a re-loading room, that's an ammo factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan454 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 That's not a re-loading room, that's an ammo factory! Wow, my thoughts exactly. As to the OPs question, I think 2 feet is the bare minimum I would personally use. I like to keep some things handy on my bench and wouldn't want them any tighter than that.
