Great news guys, i couldnt find the workmate but found a great replacement. Its made by husky the home depot brand and called the x bench. Its portable, unfolds to form an x with metal legs, then a nice big solid top with mount holes to mounting ply wood. I then bought a 24x48 inch piece of plywood (actually its the mdf or whatever stuff, harder heavier and smoother surface, seemed better for cleaning gun powder spills, etc.) and it looks like its going to work great. It cost $35 for the x bench ($25 less than the cheapest workmate) holds 750lb max (the workmate is like 350 max) and i think it holds a bigger piece of plywood. You can actually use up to 32x36 inch plywood but i thought it would be over kill and then i would have had to buy a $25 full sheet of ply wood, the 2ftx4ft sheet i bought is big and cost $6. So for about $40 it seems i got a nice bench. I havent gotten home with it yet but i am excited.
One thing i noticed in my reading is mixed info regarding my powder, i bought the only handgun powder the local place has, its UNIVERSAL and also says CLAYS on it. The hodgons book and manual i have have different loads listed for UNIVERSAL and CLAYS and both are different than the 5grain load listed on the powder container. And none of them are for my exact bullets (115grain complete copper jacket leadsafe roundnose from midway). I was going to go with whats on the bottle since that is for 9mm fmj round nose 115grain, but wasnt sure since its higher than the manuals. Any ideas? I hear its actually descent handgun powder though, burns clean.
EDIT: I figured out the powder issue, its actually UNIVERSAL, its clays technology, clays is for shot only. I foiund the exact info in my manual and its all sorted out.
