There ya goooooo...!!!!!!!! Just have to find out what works best for YOU...!I started with the 9" Inline Fab Ultramount with the Roller handle. Too tall for my bench (I am 5'10"). I actually went with the Ultramount Junior which is a 4" riser, and that turned out to be perfect with the roller handle. An expensive mistake, but I am happy now.
I`ve been down that road as well, we live and we learn, its the price we pay to become experienced. Nuffins free...!
I am 6ft and severely disabled due to a broken neck a few yrs ago, now have a heavily plated up spine, so sometimes i have to sacrifice some days not to reload. But when i do reload, the loaders have to be set up very high for me to make it work comfortable for me. As these younger reloader folks learn, they too, will raise the bench/loaders with age. I try to tell anyone getting into reloading, make that bench high so that you don't have to bend down to work it. And if the press sits high, you can see whats going on alot better..! (not to mention, you wont need to BUY expensive risers) I have had a few younger guys ask me how i can load for as long as i do... then i show them my set-up. The looks on their faces is priceless...lol. Shortly after that, they ask me to help them design their loading benches and rooms... now the look on MY face is priceless... i love to help bring people into the world of reloading... paying it forward so to speak. Sorry for the long stories guys, 50+yrs of reloading, i`ve seen and done alot, and i think i enjoy it more when i can help others with the hobby i love so dearly.
