I was going to say what do you get out of buying a bench vs just slapping one together, but you aren't slapping something together with drawers like that for $149. I'll be at Harbor freight today too.

the harbor freight table sits too low and is narrow. I used a 62" Husky adjustable table and left the wheels off.
I can work on this one sitting or standing.

You reload on this pretty regularly? I was checking them out at Home Depot, they seem nice. How does your press hold up?

I’ve built several benches but time is hard to find and the cost of lumber doesn’t help my motivation to slap one together. Definitely buying something.

I used this bench at least once a week doing something on it. Have had no issues with its stability while using my turret press. just little messy, have not packed away all my stuff from deer season. Olny thing I wish it has was a quick track system for quick change out of presses. But nice solid heavy table top.

Doe`s anyone have a plan or idea for a diy reloading bench? I would like to build something out of 2x4 with a doubled 3/4 inch plywood top. My wall area is 7 ft long and I would like to use it all.

I`m just getting into reloading. Not sure how stable it has to be,

Thanks

stability is always good.

the bigger the cartridges the more important stability becomes. it is best to plan ahead for the big ones.

i have a portable table with nothing but fold up table legs on half inch plywood that i take to the range to load on, but it is only for small calibers like the 6 BR. it has been in use since 2002 and loaded hundreds every year.

dont knock the tall bench if you shoot at home. i am constantly running in the house and loading a couple more and then running right back out to shoot with out sitting down.

Heres a few. I built a bench based on the NRMA one on the bottom of the page.

Here is mine that I just finished. Based on the bottom of the same NRMA bench. It is 7 ft long by 30 inches deep by 42 inches high.

Thanks for the help
