[QUOTE="BHP9, post: 1798174, member: 9662"] I bought a Lyman Benchrest (cast Aluminium) and no matter what orientation, of the feet, I used, it rocked back being unstable. So I fixed it. I got three 1" x 1/2" x 11" steel bars, some lead, roll pins. I drilled and tapped 5/16" holes in the ends of the bars and one around the middle. Removed the leveling points from the BR. Drilled 1/16" holes on the underside of the legs and drove in the roll pins and poured molten lead into each recess of the legs and around the center section of the BR. Hose clamps around the legs because I didn't take into account shrinkage. Now it's stable and heavy. Here are a couple of pics.
