Anybody ever use one, its so dang hot in South Texas, not much reloading going on in my garage. Was thinking about setting up something portable in the walk in closet in my home office and reload in the AC. I'm sure at some point in time I'll get caught and my wife will run me back to the garage, but worth a try. Really be cool if I could keep it hid out till it cools off and move it back outside without her knowing.........sounds like a plan.

Anyway, they look kind of short 27", also have concerns on how steady, I bet somebody has one. Wanted to give this a try before I go to plan B.

Hey Gingo! (sorry couldn't resist),

I have one that I used until I got my current setup. It was fine. But I'm 6'5" and I've learned to adjust to the "average" height of things (counters, tables, etc), so didn't notice the size being an issue.

It's not real stable, but I used my feet on the base to steady it. I was mainly loading 22-250 so I wasn't really taxing it much. I doubt that I'd like to use it to FL size more than 100 of 7mm Mag in a stretch.

You can have it for shipping cost, if you'd like. I'd like to keep the side boxes, however.

I recently moved to a condo and had to give up my reloading bench. I looked at the Frankford portable, but thought it wouldn't be big enough. I ended up buying a Black and Decker Workmate (about $40.00) and clamping a 2 ft. by 2 ft.
peice of 3/4 inch plywood to it. My press and powder measure are mounted on the plywood. When I finish reloading, I unclamp the piece of plywood, fold up the Workmate and store them in the closet.
