[QUOTE="ResearchinStuff, post: 1193758, member: 67843"] I have that press and use it exclusively for my 50 BMG, the bench has to be about 55" tall for the press to be comfortable for me (5' 11"). My brother who is 6' 4" needs it to be higher. My press came with an adapter so it can use 50 BMG size dies or the standard 7/8"-14 dies. Maybe someone can chime in on the cheytac dies, but i'm sure it it doesn't fit directly a thread adapter can be made or purchased. My bench is made out of scrap 2x4's and countertop, doubt it cost more than 40 bucks. As long as it is the right height and sturdy enough to support the press you are fine. I recommend having a separate bench to weigh out powder charges. There's a lot more tools and equipment you will need to actually reload, but the ammomaster press is one of the few options you have that can actually handle the 50 BMG and the smaller stuff. Hornady's oversized press is literally the same thing, just painted red. [/QUOTE]
