Bench/ Mounting
Quote from Reloader on October 18, 2017, 3:10 pmI moved recently and got around to building a reloading bench. I have a RCBS Rock Chucker that I've used for years. Two Christmases ago, I got a Dillon 550. Due to upcoming move, I finally opened the box for the first time last night.
Reloading bench is 6.5' wide. The left side buts into a wall. Right side has more room to the right.
Having never used the Dillon before, I don't know if the left or the right side gets used more or would benefit from more free area. I can run the RC ambidextrously.
So, with a wall on the left side of the bench, does it make more sense to mount the 550 on the left or the right end of the bench?
