Building the Perfect Reloading Room

Currently building my new reloading area and thinking of incorporating T-Track and Some Inline Fab Mounts. On my old bench I had a dedicated Ultramount for my 650. That thing did not move.

Anyone switch to the quick change mounts? Is there any movement in the QC vs the Ultramounts?

I worried about slop/flex in the QC system before I went all-in, but it has been rock solid.

I had a couple 750s sitting on Ultramounts, also, then bought another for a Coax, then decided I was sick of consuming real estate with these static mounts, so tried a QC mount for the Henderson/RC/SuperSwager, et al....love it and wish I went with the QC setup first.

I also bought the flush mount one, but haven't routed out the bench yet, so using a spacer...serves as my priming station/barrel vise/regular vise, and no movement in anything locked into it, either. Super solid. (y)

agreed they’re awesome and very stable.

SOLD, thank you sharing. I'll go with the QC system. Now I just need to decide on the T-Slot.
What are you trying to accomplish with the flush mount?

I put it on a standalone 9' big-box store bench I use as a primary work area, on the very corner, so trying to save real estate and ensure I could change barrels/do crap without banging my hands on a mount on the very corner. :)

Once routed, you can take the QC plates with accouterments off, stow them out the way, and you're left with a smooth work area and no impediments vs a 6-9" piece of metal sticking up in the air.

You just missed a sale and unsure of your timeline, but Dan has a few sales a year (usually 10% + free shipping) and the next probably in fewer than 60 days.

One suggestion—figure out which plates you need/want/anticipate needing in the future and get them all at once. I forgot to get a plate for something I wanted a plate for and the shipping was more than 50% of the cost of the plate, so always recommend going all-in all at once, if you plan on using the QC ecosystem. :)

Midway says a few of the plates and a few other retailers...can even get a couple of Amazon...but worth a few minutes of planning to figure out what you need and what toys you plan on adding in the future.

Thanks for the pre plan advice. Things are trickling in (components, tools, etc) slowly but surely. I do have a running list for BF
I'll have to share a picture with my progress. Thanks for your recommends, Dan should give you a cut lol! 😂

I like my qc mounts a lot. I was going to do track but I just knew that I'd get all kinds of crap in them so I used the inset qc mounts and the short risers, a total of 4, though one stays covered unless I need to specifically do something there.

Don't forget your storage solutions to stow unused plates. :)

There's always something we "need." lol

I ran with bunch of these, but Dan has more elegant solutions that might work better for your setup.
