Small, easy portable and stowable reloading solutions.

It's the usual experience, limited on space and move frequently due to work.

I've been reading around the forums and have seen some talk about the Lee reloading stand. Considering getting this since I have a lee single stage anyway and it'd be a good matchup.

However, what's folks experience with it and does anyone else have small time solutions they've used in a pinch? Hell I even had someone recommend me just mount it to a 2x4 and C clamp it to the kitchen table before.

I use a modular stand my press is bolted to. It clamps to my bench with kreg clamps, but when I first started I used quick clamps to secure it to my counter in our apartment.

I can mount and remove the press in less than 10 seconds to put it away

I picked up the Lee stand to mount a Lee APP on as to not tie up other bench space. It is adequately built for my use. It is designed to hold a cinder block, but I have not found it necessary for the APP. I have my Redding Big Boss press and a few bench mounted tools on 2 thicknesses of 3/4in plywood. The bottom piece is larger so it will insert into my bench. This is also adequate for a c clamp if I want to take it with me to the range. So either way you go would be ok in my experience.

Folds flat and you can build a small top to fit on it.

Basic benchrest kit: In addition to the press, add Wilson neck die and seater. Buy a powder thrower and stand. Buy a priming tool. Use fine-grained powder. If you have the settings for your powder measure, you don't need a scale. Add a pound of powder, brass, and 100 primers, it will all fit into a small-ish tool box. There is quite a bit of steel (dies, press base, powder measure and stand, priming tool) so it won't be light - but no worse than what you were looking at. This is low-volume and high-precision outfit.

Works great. I used to reload off a simple top I made for mine. Now it has a portable shooting bench top on it. Works well.

They also make wonderful cleaning cradle mounts.
