My New Reloading Bench

New house = new reloading bench

Had a local wood shop make me a 1.5"x24"X6' red oak top and I built the frame out of 4x4 cedar - 37" tall. Still plan on giving it a couple coats of poly
Got the upper cabinet at Menards and sank the power strip under the peg board.
Built a new strong mount for my Rock Chucker to bring it up an additional 8" off the bench - great for my back.

If anyone knows where to get green storage bins please PM me.

I know I should have finished the walls first but I was too eager to get back to reloading after 2months after the move. That can come later.

Now that's a sharp setup.

Nice looking bench setup.

I have a question about your Rock Chucker. Is it very new, or fairly old. I'd assume that the black plastic part at the base of the press is to catch primers. How does that work. My RC has a small, inverted "Y" shaped removable primer tray that has small passages that get jammed up once and awhile. I always wished that the design was different. Mine looks like the one below.

.........Yeah...mine too. And as far as the bench goes, nice job. The finish looks great. I'd like to show you a picture of mine, but I can't get it to come up on here... FAAAAR more crowded than that, but it still turns out lots of ammo. Good job. Keep it commin'....

That is the factory primer catcher for the Rock Chucker 2.
I think it first came out in the 90's.
It's a great press and I like it alot more than the Reloader, Jr or recent RC's.
