    Nothing portable on my bench. The 550 has four bolts that go through the 2x6 top and it has been in the same place for four years.

    No bench here and the coffee table doesn't appear strong enough to just clamp a board to so I'm trying to find a "cheap" solution for now.

    Mine are all bolted on 2xs and I clamp them down as needed. No problems whatsoever.

    Not really a good picture but all I have.

    This is my Hornady LnL AP with case feeder.

    You have a countertop or kitchen table? They will work.

    Yeah I have a counter but the only place I could clamp sticks out probably 12-18" so I don't know if I'd be putting too much pressure on it.

    I'm keeping my eye out for a cheap bench that's not too big for the garage, and not on the other side of town.

    I like the idea of the one I posted on my other thread since it also raises the height.

    Gunz are icky.
    One of those Work-Mate collapsable table/bench.
    It folds flat for storage. Easy to move around.
    It sorta works but you will soon be looking for a solid bench.

    I used a workmate for years while living in apartments. I bolted a 2X4 to a sheet of plywood that had my press & other equipment mounted on. It worked, but walked around while doing .308's. It was fine for straight cased pistol.

    I built my first bench when I started loading my .416 Remington mag for Africa. Built a 2nd bench when I bought used Dillon SDB. Ended up selling the Dillon because I hated it. I'll hate moving both of the benches once I move out of the house, because they are really stout!

    I bought one of these:
    thec4m3ron.com

    It's ok, I filled it with landscaping gravel (I had a bunch left over) and it more or less stays put, but I still clamp it down with a few woodworking bar clamps.

    Not the best quality picture but I made this with steel plate and a pair of Dillon Strong Mounts. I use it as a portable setup to haul to the range for load development. I have a second Lee Classic Turret mounted to the main bench so I just swap out turrets as needed.
