Picked up a 6 Dasher recently and realized I needed to get my reloading room sorted back out. Decided to get away from the prefab benches I used at the old place and had transplanted here. IMG_20190708_185136828.jpg

Picked up some material that I didn't have on hand...

Anybody running multiple presses? I've picked up a few RCBS presses second hand around here locally for cheap. Might just go the Forster Coax route. Grabbed one to try...

Think I'll set one up on the cart with a universal decapping die then size on the middle press before seating in the Forster.
 
Looks good! Really need a lot of foresight or research to nail something just right. I liken my attempts to WD 40. I'm on Milo Dumbass #26. Every time I buy some new revolutionary piece, it is all out of place. I have 2 coax's and a T7 set up at all times, one is never enough.
 
Finished hanging and reinforcing the wall cabinets tonight. I had filled the holes and cracks in the surface this morning before work.

Just put the first coat of poly on it... ?
 
@ShtrRdy thanks man!

@Milo 2.5 Lol... Not sure what you mean by this... "Milo Dumbass #26" ??

Just hit 48 hours of drying on the final coat of poly and mounted the Forster.

I had the same issue you did with positioning presses and other equipment.

I just got the Forster CoAx, but I've got three other RCBS presses this one has replaced. I used to leave the sizing/decapping die in one press, the seater in another, and the 3rd would be used for swaging or pulling bullets if necessary. Not sure where I am going to set up another press, but thinking about just keeping one Rock Chucker for pulling bullets and using a universal decapping die on it.

After several dry runs.... I've only bolted down the Forster.

Thinking about a Prometheus on the far left and a priming tool either between the two or on the right side of the bench.
