Any wobble with the T tracks?

Any wobble with the T tracks?

No. I do get a little with the bench not attached to the wall. It's got a false bottom with a lot of weight in it to anchor it down, but not being attached to the wall would be better. This is a temporary set up, so I'll probably not attach it to the wall.

I do have dedicated holes in the bench top (2x 3/4 plywood) for the Ultramount, but I really can't tell a difference.

I’ve looked at doing both. More time and cost with T tracks. Less versatility with Tee nuts. I’ve watched ultimate reloader videos with the tracks and all his presses have a fair amount of wobble to them. Part of me thinks that they will fail at some point. Part of me thinks a lot of people have done it with no failures. Kinda at a loss on which route to take.

I run a 3 burner infrared heater in my shop. It's a 24'x30' open floor plan with 8' ceiling, OSB inside and out, with roofing tin on the outside. Inside was primed and painted to reflect light and seal the OSB, R30 insulation in walls and ceiling, and double pane windows.

I have zero issues with moister from the propane heater. But then I did not use any type of wrap, other than tar paper near the ground around the outside. Down in the south just the ambient humidity in the air is enough to cause rust if care is not taken.

Do you build your flintlock rifles from kits or from scratch?

Freshly cleaned up. The benches are just junk I found and kludged together as I needed more bench.

Haven’t posted much here but follow when I can. As an older member I’ve been seriously loading since the mid 60’s. Like other old timers I collect and have horse traded and upgraded equipment all the time. I’ve moved six times so this is my last loading and smithing room. My Stars, Hollywood’s and All Americans have always performed flawless. Ive had several Dillons and lots of single stage presses but this old equipment answers well for the type loading I do.

Decided to take advantage of being stuck at home to completely redo my reloading bench from scratch. Didn't turn out so bad if I say so myself

asmith80 - You did an excellent job on your bench. Very organized and with room to grow.

You have the perfect combination of presses for the way I load , nice setup .

Thanks! I just got the Lee APP on the end mounted and setup a couple days ago. Started decapping some .223 and man is that thing slick! Too bad I broke the decapping pin in my universal decapper halfway through, but until then I was flying along. I highly recommend one if you can find it

I have have one ,about to get the catch bottle full of spent primers . For de priming I have a 45 colt shell holder in it and so far I have been using it on all my handgun cases that control case feed puts most cases in the proper to de-cap most of the time. I start the decap with a light touch and have not bent or broken it yet. It's a real time saver.

Hoping to get it back in shape after finishing some renovations and a rush project for work.

My lubrisizers I bought the Saeco at a yard sale for two dollars, it was a bear to clean up!
