Thread: One step closer to reloading

I don't really have a dedicated reloading space at home and while I would love to have a set up permanently on my workbench, the inquisitive nature of my son would suggest for the time being that is not possible.

With the weather not conducive to going to the range today, I whipped up a portable reloading stand for my Forster Co-ax press. Nothing fancy, but it means I can secure it away when not in use, but also use it quickly if the work bench is clear, or even use it on the kitchen bench if the garage gets too cold.

With the press set up, I managed to deprime and size a few 300wsm cases. Seems stable enough but I have the option of clamping the frame to the bench if needed.

I'm planning a more permanent setup, but for now I'm stoked just to set up the press and take my first baby step in my reloading journey.

A less cluttered view.

The first view is not cluttered,trust me

Yea you could almost operate in a workshop that clean! I can't even see my bench!

I don't have a before photo of the benchtop, but trust me it was a foot deep in 'I'll get to those', 'I can't find a home for that just now', 'Not sure what that is, but I'll need it later', this morning.

looks great and easily Gclamped onto bench......but heres a tip for you. if you look in your 2nd photo...in the backgroud already bolter to your bench is another answer....... if you mount your press on board that can be held firmly in that other bit of kit...job done and can be removed and stored away afterwards

If I had a work bench that clean people around here would think,
Hey theres some clear space lets start putting crap there....
