Default press set up

how do you have your press set up? (like on a desk,table,ect.) I had mine drilled to a square of wood and then i would just clamp it to a table then i got a new press thats too heavy for that set up so i gotta come up w/something else.

Bought a small work bench from Sears with drawers and a locking door for my curious young sons.

I have mine screwed to the top of my dresser at the moment. I'm gonna build a bench specifically for reloading when I have the time, and the money to get the materials.

I have mine in my shed out back. I just fasten a treated 2x10 between two studs and put some 2x4 legs under the front edge and walla, an extremely solid press bench sticking out from the wallthat I have 2 presses mounted to, 1 heavy cast iron press for FLS and one lesser press for bullet seating.

I have two Dillons. I have a Dillon 650 set up for 9MM and a Dillon 550 currently set up for 223. I also have an RCBS A4 Big Max that I still use for loading 7MM Mag and 3006. I also have an RCBS Ammomaster and a MEC 650 for shotgun shells.
