Anyone mount their RCBS Rock Chucker on a press stand that mounts to your table?

Factory made or home made? Pics?
 
No.
Just a doubled 2"x6" riser block to get it up to a more comfortable level while standing in front of it.

I just use the RCBS Accessory Base Plate #2... I have my Rockchucker mounted on the right and my Uniflow powder measure on a stand to the left.

Photos possibly in the morning.
 
I also use the RCBS Accessory Base Plate #2. Makes it easy to move the press and powder measure to different benches.

Sounds good.

Do you batch when dropping powder or add powder then the bullet? It sounds like the powder measure and press are close together when mounted on the plate and it would be hard to do a whole tray of brass at a time.

Made my own.
rcbs pro2000 but would work on a RC press.

Top plate 1/4"x4x5
Bottom plate 1/4"x5x5
Column 1/4"x1.5x7" cut both ends angled to kick the top out over the front of the bench.
rattle can of green hammered finish

I don't use it in my current setup as I sit while cranking the handle but have it as an option should I ever decide to stand.
Cost=practically zero as it was mostly scrap & welded it myself at work.

The biggest advantage of press mounts like the Dillon strong mount is when they are tall enough to allow the op linkage to swing underneath without hitting the bench top. This allows the press to sit back further on the bench, and not hang off the front edge. The mere ability to mount further back on the bench top accounts for the extra stiffness. And it's soooo much better than a simple riser.
 
My stands are similar to the one above. Self made and simple design. Cost me nothing but time and paint.
