Show us a picture of your reloading bench

Added to the RCBS Pro 2000

The Dillon is all decked out with everything you can get for it and the Hornady LNL AP is decked out with case feeder and bullet feeder so the RCBS Pro 2000 auto indexing press was feeling left out.

I do NOT like the RCBS bullet feeder, you would think they would put a switch on it to turn it on and off. No you have to plug the power cord in to turn it on and take it out to turn it off. Plus it is small so I could not see spending the money they ask for it. Option number II the RCBS bullet die kit... $29. at Midway, I got the one for 45's so with the Rainier Ballistics 200gn Flat point bullets I use I can get 33 in each of the tubes. The "kit" come caliber specific and includes two tubes.

Put the die together and in the press and set up to work right in under 10 minutes... It works GREAT and for the money it is well worth it, plus it will work with ANY press that has an open die spot...
;)

Yes the dies set up are in fact 44mag, I just got the 45 bullet feeder die working then changed over to the 45's... Good eye (via PM);)
 
My phone camera doesnt do the room any justice. My son can do a better one with his I think. We started building our house 3 years ago. Dad helped prepare the land (it was a mess) and he was so proud of what we were building. He died before we got it done but he was always interested in my p-dog hunting. He would have been very happy with the outcome. Sure miss him.

One of the posters has a new workbench and the reloading press is C-clamped to his new solid work surface. I too, had a similar set up in that I did not want to drill a bunch of various holes throughout the wood top surface. My solution was to drill two holes fitted with brass threaded inserts into the table top. Thus, when using various woodworking attachments, tools, reloading press I could simply unbolt rather than removing the C-clamps each time. My issue was continuing to smack my knee on the C-clamps hanging down below the reloading press when shifting my seating position for various reloading operations at the workbench.

If you plan for several devices you would infrequently need(small vice, reloading press, etc). You can space your table top inserts so you can bolt/unbolt useful bench top items. For me, space is at a premium and when not reloading, the work table is used for other large projects requiring a clean/smooth work surface.
