[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 616436, member: 17844"] If you are worried about bench construction then I suggest you think about using modern die systems that require far less effort to use and as a result need far less solid reloading benches . If you use a Lee collet die or a bushing type die to neck size and a body die to do the rest then no big solid bench is required . I can body size a 223 case with one finger on the RCBS press handle. I can body size a 308 case with a very light hold of the press handle and I do it all on an old dining table that my wife threw out 30 years ago. The super rigid reloading bench is only required for old fashioned full length sizing dies and maybe big magnums . Anyway the actual rigid bench part only needs to be big enough to accommodate the press or presses that might use old dies or big magnums not the whole reloading area. It might save you some money to look at it like that. [/QUOTE]
