What is your bench height? Do you reload seated or standing?

Best of both worlds is a high bench with barstools. Standing lets you move more but after a while sitting down is nice for a change.

What Mark said.

muck

Single stage standing,

Dillon . . . sitting down cause that is usually a run of ammo!

34" !. I set in my African Walnut based leather bankers Chair which matches my African Walnut Angled Wing Desk !. I like to feel I'm getting my Money back !.

I sit because when I reload it's usually for hours on end ( Normally 1-3 months worth of several calibers ammo ) I shoot maybe 5-8K's rounds a year so you do the math .

Be comfortable is the main thing !. Are you comfortable at the diner table ?.

Mark is a wise man, that's how mine is set up.

Yup, high bench with a bar stool for me too.

That is how I reload as well. My bench is 36" high, and I use a bar stool. The bench could be about 4 inches higher. I have a 550b on the way so I guess I need to make another bench.

Before running off the deep end put your feet in the shallows !.

I'm 6' 3" and my bench is 34" high , I prefer to set in a chair with a back , it's FAR MORE comfortable then a Bar Stool !. That's why I asked if you were ok at the Dinner Table !.

Normal seat height is 17 -19 " Table heights are 27-29" Normally !. At the very least just cut the legs off your bar stool , why alter the bench height ?.

If I could load effectively I would do it out of my recliner !. Point is to BE COMFORTABLE while doing it .

I loaded at a work bench with bar stools and several shooting buddy's still do , but quite a few of them after visiting my set up LIKED setting in a REAL CHAIR . They now have modified there Benches to fit computer chairs !.

My Banker chair as I call it was is the one which is mated to the desk set . So I just made the bench the proper size for the chair height .

My desk by the way is a Sight to behold !. It's Solid Not veneer African Walnut with Ebony detail inlay , the Top is shaped like an offset flying wing and is 9'-3" long X 42.5" width at the widest center point .

All of my shooting buddy's ask WHEN I'm going to cut the top up for GunStocks as it's 3.75" thick and with some of the nicest burl one has ever seen !. NEVER I CRY NEVER !. It was made for me by a former customer whom I used to supply wood too . I never asked for it ? , he never allowed me to pay for it !, said I couldn't afford to pay for his labor let alone the wood I sold him . Laughed and said it's for all your efforts over the years to bring me some of the worlds finest woods . Your Gold watch so to speak !.

Sadly he was killed years later in an Air Crash I shall be buried in that desk , as he was a great friend .

What Mark and DrK said. I use a bar stool with a back. My bench is 41" high and for my 5'10" is about right using a Dillon 550 and Rockchucker.

Did you order the extra tool heads, etc?
