Nice bench! I added a couple of second hand file cabinets and a cheap one from staples to store my powders, primers and bullets as well as files for paperwork, receipts and load data sheets
That is good timing! Hopefully this gives some folks some ideas and helps others piece together their own bench. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah
If I don't have this one organized then nothing gets done there just isn't enough room for stuff to by lying around on this one. However the other benches I have are quite a mess I will admit but they have the space for it. Thanks for watching and for the feedback! --Jeremiah
Ha ha yes my poor shirts, if its not the shooting bench it is the horses or barbwire getting the best of them. I certainly need to patch up a few of them. Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah
Just added a Lyman Eight to my setup. It compliments my RCBS Rock Chucker II after over thirty years of using it for all my handloading. Mine is definitely a low budget operation, but it has served me well. Thanks for the peek into your private space friend!
Those Lyman turret presses are very nice! Certainly a good addition to the bench, I have one I use from time to time at my other bench. There is nothing wrong with low budget so long as it works! Thanks for watching and for the continued support! --Jeremiah
Late to the video but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice overview with pertinent information. And no wasted time on telling me about your childhood and how your grandpa blah blah blah.... Thank you!
I have that case ejector on my Rockchucker II. It works great with pistol rounds and 223 but when you get up to '06 length cases, it's a mild PITA. Thanks Jeremiah!
I was thinking it would be a pain with larger cases, I plan on doing a separate video on that detailing it's operation and how it works with larger cases. Excellent point though, as always thank you for adding your wisdom in the comments and all the support we greatly appreciate it! --Jeremiah
On the wall in front of my bench, I have a 2'x3' cork board. All my frequently used load data is displayed on file cards push pinned on the board. I also have an LED worklight suspended over the bench. I have all my presses and accessories mounted on In Line Fabrication mounts and bases. They can't be beat for quick change and rock solid mounting.
I like my work benches at standard counter top height and stand to work. That gives me space for drawers underneath for storage of loading dies and other sundries. I also do my bullet casting outdoors on the back porch where the air is pure and sweet😂
Absolutely nothing wrong with that everyone has their preferences, If you prefer to stand certainly stand. I do a lot of bullet casting outside but when there is winter weather it's nice to have the option to cast inside as well as outside just in case the need arises. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts and experience! --Jeremiah
I certainly had a lot of cleaning to do for this video it is easy to let the bench become cluttered and the smaller the bench the easier it is but overall this setup works great! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah
Jeremiah, so great to see you do some Mach IV. Thanks. Please tell me how many firings you’ve getting? I’m splitting every neck. With all that brass working should we be annealing these before loading? Going to order that electric case trim adapter for cutting down so much.
I am still working at it and I want to have a lot of time on it before we publish the video so I know what I am talking about but so far I am loving the cartridge. I actually just got back from Wyoming with it and spent a lot of time in the field with the rifle and cartridge. I think forming the cases in small steps certainly helps, I have not annealed my brass as of yet but I am using good quality cases from Starline and working through a long process to form them. I don't know if it matters but I also let my cases sit for a day or two before taking them to the next step. A wise man once told me to do that and I have no data whatsoever to back up that statement but if you are desperate I would try it. So far the most firings I have on my brass is 3 and I have not split any necks as of yet. The electric case trimmer or 3d printed jig and chop saw from harbor freight is a must! It takes way too long doing it by hand. It is expensive but well worth the investment! Thanks for watching and keep an eye out for the 17 Mach IV in the future!! --Jeremiah
Great question, I actually did not have to secure the bench to the wall, in the past I have had that issue where the press would show any wiggle in the bench. I have found that when mounted on the Inline Fabrication Ultramount it really helps with bench wobble. Along with the added weight of the press and all the clutter of the gear this bench is rock solid. Thank you for the question and taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah
I am neck turning just a little bit off the necks as needed I also run it into a full length sizing die prior to fireforming. We are working on doing a video on the cartridge in the distant future. Thanks for watching and great question! --Jeremiah
@@ExF1Guy You are very welcome! We greatly appreciate the likes, comments and shares so it is the least we can do! I hope to have the video on the 17 mach IV out this year if everything goes right! --Jeremiah
I do have a Lyman, Redding and Area 419 turret press and absolutely love them, great suggestion this was done more so to showcase all you can do with a small bench and a simple setup but for all the articles and load development we conduct here we typically use a Dillon or the Area 419 turret press. It just saves a lot of time being able to quickly swap dies without having to readjust. Great comment and suggestion though, thank you for watching! --Jeremiah
If you have watched any of our world war II video series with Mike you have seen a small glimpse into his setup, it's definitely impressive to say the least. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah
Great question both of those are made by RCBS, the one that the bench mounted primer is on is sold separately by RCBS, the plate that the trimmer is on is included with the trimmer and is pretty easy to mount up, I used bolts with wing nuts on the bottom so it is easily removed if the space is needed. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah
It kinda is, I will admit I have used the heck out of the case prep center and it hasn't failed me yet. I have clogged it up with brass shavings and had to clean it a few times but other than that the thing keeps working. --Jeremiah
@@Joe-hz1nw It's good stuff for the money for sure I use their hand primer quite a bit as well. Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts in the comments section! --Jeremiah
You can't beat that! I do use a lot of stuff from Harbor Freight and most of the time it works just like it should. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah
You ain't kidding! I tend to blow out the elbows from shooting or working horses if it's not one it's the other! Thanks for watching in spite of my ratty appearance! --Jeremiah
Greatly appreciated for the video. I'm just starting men and helps looking another people set up thanks.
You are very welcome, we are happy to help and wish you well with you setup! --Jeremiah
Nice bench! I added a couple of second hand file cabinets and a cheap one from staples to store my powders, primers and bullets as well as files for paperwork, receipts and load data sheets
That is a great idea, thank you for sharing that with everyone here! You certainly can't have too much storage! --Jeremiah
Happy handloading friend!
Timing is everything!
We had quite a chat last night here on uTube talking about making reloading benches!!
That is good timing! Hopefully this gives some folks some ideas and helps others piece together their own bench. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah
There’s a lot of possible set up options even on a small bench. You have this one nice and organized.👏🏻
If I don't have this one organized then nothing gets done there just isn't enough room for stuff to by lying around on this one. However the other benches I have are quite a mess I will admit but they have the space for it. Thanks for watching and for the feedback! --Jeremiah
Great info, been reloading on a small bench for 20yrs. You can do good work.
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch and comment! It is amazing what you can do in a confined space! --Jeremiah
I had to rewatch parts, once i seen the rip in his sleeve, I couldnt unsee it haha. Good vid, nice info ty
Ha ha yes my poor shirts, if its not the shooting bench it is the horses or barbwire getting the best of them. I certainly need to patch up a few of them. Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah
nice setup!
Thank you, it works well for a compact setup! --Jeremiah

Thank you for the kind words, they really do make great stuff! --Jeremiah

Very informative for this novice reloader. Cheers!
Nice bench.. well done.

Thank you very much, the feedback is always appreciated, now you've seen where some of the magic happens! --Jeremiah
well-organized great bench!
I have my share of other benches that are messy I just don't have the space to clutter this one up! Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

I’m curious did you have to screw that bench to the wall or something? The way you had to push on that press it didn’t budge.
Great question, I actually did not have to secure the bench to the wall, in the past I have had that issue where the press would show any wiggle in the bench. I have found that when mounted on the Inline Fabrication Ultramount it really helps with bench wobble. Along with the added weight of the press and all the clutter of the gear this bench is rock solid. Thank you for the question and taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah
Are you neck turning your 17 mkIV after forming? I would think neck wall thickness would be excessive.
I am neck turning just a little bit off the necks as needed I also run it into a full length sizing die prior to fireforming. We are working on doing a video on the cartridge in the distant future. Thanks for watching and great question! --Jeremiah

Any thought of getting a T7 or any turret press thats a lot of die changes .
I do have a Lyman, Redding and Area 419 turret press and absolutely love them, great suggestion this was done more so to showcase all you can do with a small bench and a simple setup but for all the articles and load development we conduct here we typically use a Dillon or the Area 419 turret press.

Would like to see Mike Venturino's set up. He must have some really neat things in his powder shack.
If you have watched any of our world war II video series with Mike you have seen a small glimpse into his setup, it's definitely impressive to say the least. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah
Were the primer and trimmer mounted on a custom made plate? Or RCBS plates?
Great question both of those are made by RCBS, the one that the bench mounted primer is on is sold separately by RCBS, the plate that the trimmer is on is included with the trimmer and is pretty easy to mount up, I used bolts with wing nuts on the bottom so it is easily removed if the space is needed.

Frankford arsenal is the Harbor freight of the reloading world.
It kinda is, I will admit I have used the heck out of the case prep center and it hasn't failed me yet. I have clogged it up with brass shavings and had to clean it a few times but other than that the thing keeps working. --Jeremiah
I have their tumblers and brass dryers. Worked fine for many years.
@@Joe-hz1nw It's good stuff for the money for sure I use their hand primer quite a bit as well. Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts in the comments section! --Jeremiah
That's brave showing your home bench.I don't think any one need to see my mount messy bench !
Trust me I have my share of messy benches, this one is just too small and can't afford to be messy! Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah
If it works it works.
I used a Harbor Freight WOOD work bench$110.00
