Does anyone have any experience with the Frankford Arsenal Reloading Stand?

I would like to know if it is sturdy enough when full length re-sizing? Any other comments pro or con would also be helpful. Is there a better stand that I should consider?

Thanks!

I considered the FA stand, but decided it did not offer enough surface area. I ended up buying a Black & Decker Workmate, a piece of 2 x 3 foot 3/4 inch plywood and 4 C clamps. I mounted my press and powder dispenser on the plywood and clamped it to the Workmate. When I finish reloading, I remove the plywood, fold up the Workmate and store them in a closet. Total cost around $55.00.

I have loaded many thousands of rounds on my Midway portable reloading stand. I have loaded as small as 9 mm. Luger, and up to 416 Rigby with no problems. Very handy and convienant.

I have a very stable portable shooting bench. I just C-clamp a 3/4 in piece of plywood to it that has my Rockchucker attached and I'm in business.

So you wind up with a Dual purpose bench for about $35. Mine has a little heavier top made of 1 inch plus subflooring ply. Oh and you can load while you're in the field doing PD's.

For a while when I couldn't decide where to mount my press I put it on a 2x6 and clamped it into a small Black and Decker workmate tool box.
The whole thing was portable, I could load where I wanted. There was storage space in the tool box. The board had to be clamped tight on the workmate, but I was able to do full length sizing on numberous calibers without the use of C clamps. I've since built a reloading bench and have my press mounted on it, but I'd go back to the other system if I had to load anywhere but home.
If you do go with the Franklin stand, let us know how it works out for you.

Here's a bench I made to use while in the Air Force. It's attached to the runner of a 6 drawer dresser.

3 pieces of particle board and 2 legs.

They have enough flex you have to hold on to the press when the round comes out of the die. I have reformed 222brass and mostly did 06 cases. They work, I got mine to take to the range. I just mounted my press perminate and bought a small press to take to the range. That one will go in a plywood box.

I have one and have used it. What turns me off is draft or breeze on the scale unless I'm inclosed in a van or RV. roger
