Yeah, I use the silicon ones. I forget exactly which, but I've had a couple sets over the years. You need enough/the right size to suspend the weight of your granite and scale setup.

There are also vibration stabilizing tables but those are a bit overkill IME.

I have my scale on a 12x8x4ish granite slab, which sits on rubber hi fi dampers about 8” behind my press, all on a freestanding bench. The AT + IP system has no issues throwing powder while I seat bullets.


…assuming I remember to turn the ceiling fan off. Sometimes I am dumb.

Thanks, I'll grab some of those dampers.

Got my bench, cabinets and most shelves sorted. Mounting press and vice today, will post some pics later. One thing I haven't quite resolved is where to store all the spare barrels I have. They used to just sit on a table in my reloading room but that's not gonna work here. Was thinking of making a specific cabinet for them, anyone do anything similar? Have a bout a dozen barrels, most are 26" long.

Make a barrel rack for them. Kind of like a wine rack but you don't need to have a slight tilt or diamond shaped openings.

I've always wanted to do a barrel drawer below the bench with a rack inside, but I've only got a couple spares so they just sit in the corner of a safe. Not my photo, but maybe how I’ll do the next bench

That's kinda what I was thinking.

Some pics from when I started to how it is now:

Pics are outta order for some reason. Still need to add a 4th cabinet to the left of the 3 on the wall and have a shelving unit I'm gonna put on the wall to the left of the bench. Gonna build a few more shelves as well. Still moving more stuff here and trying to cull and organize my shit...

First get a persons name at the power co who deals with new meter releases. Then get their number. Then Ask the inspector if he will send you a copy of the release. He probably will say he can't, it's electronic but then you can ask him to check and make sure the power Co is getting it and give him that person's name and number. It's common to have issues with the county or whoever and releasing the meter.

Spoke with the inspector again, he told me that he told the permit office to release it. I called the permit office, they claimed to not have it, then 5 minutes after that phone call they call back and miraculously “find it”….

Permit submitted and sent to the power company. Should be any day now

I have 3 reloading rooms... my favorite bench is the Bridgeport mill, in the garage, the table is adjustable for height. Has quick change aluminum plates on many presses.
Really stout, you can stand on the loading press handle for sizing, if needed, easy sizing even for 50BMG.

Here is my humble addition. Moved into the house a few year ago and finally got around to a proper setup. I've added some more wall art since these pics but haven't taken any new pics.
