[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2814765, member: 122991"] No problem. Cost about $20.00 all in (in 1971). Now about $50. I used a 5/8 copper grounding rod, driven in the ground outside next to my workshop. Used a ground clamp to attach a length of 8ga (green plastic) copper stranded wire to the ground rod. Routed the wire inside to the corner of my reloading bench. Mounted an 8 foot length of solid 1/4 inch copper rod to the bottom of a shelf just above the bench. (My bench is 8 feet long). Connected the green 8ga ground wire to the 1/4 copper rod with a ground clamp. It was a straightforward easy install. Also, I made a short ground wire attached from the 1/4 rod to the base of the press with a removable alligator clip jumper connected to the primer tube when needed. When I reload, I use a ground harness (It has a clip on one end and a wrist band connector on the other. Available at electrical supply or Amazon) to connect to the 1/4 copper rod and the other end to my wrist or arm. The idea is to have me, the press, and the primer tube connected to the ground system. Anytime I'm using powder or primers, I connect it up to me. It works and I don't have any static issues at all. Been using this for almost 50 years. Let me know if you have any questions. [/QUOTE]
