GBerry Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And welcome....where ya from? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rondog Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Build your bench and bolt it to the wall for added rigidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Definitely screw it into the studs of the wall. A huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 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. http://www.shotgunsportsmagazine.com/downloads/bench_plans.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBerry Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 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.
