Would it hurt to mount my trimmer sideways?

I know it's an odd question and I didn't see anything come up in search. My Bench is 4x8 and up against a wall so I can only use 3 sides of it. I have a Dillon 650 and two Rock Chuckers on it. I mounted the newest Rock Chucker yessterday and my trimmer was in the way.

I didn't immediately notice any reason it wouldn't be ok. It seems like the shellholder for the trimmer holds the case enough that it wouldn't be an issue.

Just curious.

I was thinking something like this:

I still have an old Forster trimmer that I used for many years. I mounted it on an oak 2X4. When I need it I clamp it in the bench vise. I have a few things mounted like that.

When I'm through with it, it goes back in the clear plastic shoe box with all the bits and reamers and back on the shelf until it's needed again.
