That looks wonderful but I haven’t the means to manufacture such a beastie so I compromised with an eBay acquired “new old stock” “MADE IN AMERICA” RCBS stand.

Probably "oversharing" but.... whatever.
Old,and usually very cheap aluminum disc sander plate. Can be modified with a hand drill(stepped Christmas tree bit) although a drill press makes it easy peasy. Other than drilling,all std 7/8-14 hardware makes this entirely doable in a home shop.
Lay out hole spacing with any cast ribs underneath,taken into account. Also there can be a raised lip under there as well. To say how durn convenient this is well,would be a gross understatement.
Good luck with your loading.

I love to see how each individual approaches and remedies a problem. Necessity is the mother of invention. Some mighty fine examples of that in this thread!!

Those are Lyman 450 lube sizers for cast bullets. Normally,these are used sorta like a std press in that,it's down/up.... vs a "push through" like a Lee,which does use a std press.
The difference,which isn't small is that the Lyman allows going only,so deep.
In this instance,these aren't being used as sizers per say.... the torque wrench is for bumping noses(increasing diameter) of bore rider style bullets. You find the yield number with the beam type..... and you can use the beam style to do them,but you have to constantly watch the dial. The "clicker" style works better once the #'s are set for that run of bullets.... click it,and forget it.
I'd say it's about halfway deep on the typical cast rabbit hole? Durn critical once you're really pressing the cast envelope. Not much use on handguns,mainly go fast rifles.
