    Ya i built one like this guy made but with a few changes due to the materials I had on hand.
    http://ultimatereloader.com/2010/01/...ans-available/

    I love that stand, it is rock solid and great for a progressive press with lots of use.
    The main bench is made out of 1” angle iron and 1x6” and a Masonite cap and a junk drawer off an old office desk , ain't the purdyist thing on the block but works.
    sorry for the crummy cell pics

    Re: Loading Bench Plans

    Here are some pictures of my reloading bench I built in my RV. I have a 41 foot Heartland Cyclone toy hauler and it has a 12X8 foot garage in the rear. I'm a full-time RVer and I'm currently in WI. We'll be heading west through the norther boarder states in a few weeks.

    I used a 2"X6"X5' board for the bench. I made it this small so that I can park my car in the garage during travel to my destinations. The brackets are attached to the aluminum frame wall with four ¼ inch screws. It’s very solid. When I'm not reloading, I remove the presses and they are stored in a protected space. I can easy attach other equipment to the bench by using C-clamps. There's plenty of room for my RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 and the Sinclair Arbor Press. It's perfect for my needs. Since these pictures were taken I painted the bench gray.

    After seeing and reading about Hammer's setup, he has given me some ideas. I need to find property that's long and narrow that I can park the RV on and shoot out the back of my RV.

    my goodness. i thought I was getting pretty eaten up with all of this stuff when I decided to build a wooden bench in my shop just for handloading. Then, i found this thread and i don't feel all so bad now. You guys have some amazing setups!

    Good to see other RV loaders out there! I'm currently doing the same thing. I was into Quad racing, but had to quit. Now just shooting is taking up my time.

    Here's my setup,





    Bench is from Cabela's and it works great! I have a Dillon Square Deal B for pistol, and my RCBS for rifle, and a Lee Load All II for shotgun.

    Just got this room finished in my basement. Now I have my man cave and my gun room right next to each other.

    Has anyone else tried Dr. A C Jones group and pattern software program that uses the two-dimensional Gaussian distribution for estimating pattern probabilities ?

    Might also be referred to as the Rayleigh distribution assuming equal variances and co-variances.

    A bit fuzzy, and taken before adding my RCBS Trim Mate Case Prep Center. 6' wide x 2.5' deep. I'm not much of a carpenter, so I cheated and used the "2x4 Basics" kit with pine 2x4s, a sheet of 3/4" MDF for the work surface and 1/2" MDF sheets for the shelves under the work surface. The shelving above I hobbled together out of 1/2" MDF as well...which was a mistake (MDF doesn't work and and play well with screws and nails driven/screwed in from the sides), and if they ever start to fall apart I'll rebuild them from standard plywood. When done I covered everything in a couple coats of MinWax polyurethane.

    Hammer, I was thinking of mathematically projecting my pattern out of my shotgun by using the pattern from a say one choke.
    I spent a little bit of time thinking about it as I was patterning my gun for spring Turkey, I realized the pattern modeling could be just a sheer coincidence when I recalled the test a physicist did, he provided his class a picture of the surface of a planet and asked them to examine the distribution of the asteroid hits and if they see a pattern. The class did come up with a few pattern, at the end he revealed that the picture was a close up of his son’s freckled face.

    Yep, it's a 4 legged stool made from an old metal tractor seat with a foam pad. It works great so far.

    T00 Builder, those stocks are absolutely beautiful! I want to make one similar to those one of these days. I just need to get a bandsaw and a few chisels plus a whole lot of time.

    a few years of moving here, deployment, move there, deployment, have two kids, and change jobs have me out of the saddle with regards to hand loading. Getting back into the competitive shooting arena and just want to save a little change on ammo so digging the ole rock chucker out of storage finally. Lots of great ideas in here guys, Hammer; what exactly do you DO for a living!?

    This is my setup in the upstairs of the race shop amongst the piles of used up dirt bike parts and junk from the old house.

    RCBS Rockchucker for sizing cases
    3 RCBS Partner presses for seating bullets so I don't have to change dies out for my 3 primary loads
    Dillon RL450 progressive for the pistol stuff
    The RCBS Trimmer comes off and a MEC 600jr goes there when I need to do 12 gauge.

    Bench is built on a 2x4 basics leg kit with two sheets of 3/4" plywood on the top. Measures 4 feet by 4 feet and serves me needs fine with two shelves underneath for all the dies and tumbling media, log books, reloading manuals etc.

    This is what my starting setup was. The desk is now used as a cleaning bench with storage in filing cabinet and then a couple bookshelves for bullets and misc items. No new pictures as it's nothing special but it gets me by.
