I hadn't thought about using one of those stands for a reloading press - might just work pretty good. I've got 3 of them in use now for a couple of grinders and a buffing wheel.
Good thinking.

Ken, we'll see how this goes.
Automotive brake rotors are a good source of "dead weight", and in plentiful supply at your local repair shop.
More-so for those bench grinder stands that are a pedestal as opposed to the quad-leg type.
But either way, that's a pretty cheap form of mass.
Got in a new Anderson M4 type 5.56 1-8" 16" barrel for my lightweight AR assembledge. A gas block and tube is all I like!
Finished up re barreling a savage 110 from 270 win to 6.5 Creedmoor ... test fired it and sized and re primed 100 rounds for it ,loaded up 10 rounds for sighters, now for a trip to the range.
Loaded up 100 162gr RNFPBBs for a TC carbine I'll be taking to the range to knock over some steel.

Assembled a simulated interior wall section with two 2' x 2' panels of 1/2" drywall, 2x4 spaced, as a single step of a multi step, future, test of some self defense ammo.
Got my press light install and my round counter.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6874ce5251.jpg

Same boat! Bought a faxon pencil 16" 1-8, aero precision no FA upper, and just now bought a Vltor clamp on gas block for a lightweight build.
Wondering whether I should stick with ALG defense rails, or try something different.
Thinking about a GWACS polymer lower too.

Sized and lubed 500 452-230TL bullets.
Cast 450 358-105 SWC for the wife's pop gun.
Working up a .44spl load so I loaded up 12 each of 10 different powder/bullet combinations.
Now I have to find time to go to the range? This weekend is out........anniversary Sat and Mother's Day Sun. Guess it will have to be next weekend. :-)
I ran my Magma Bullet Master MKII for the first, "real" test run yesterday. Ended up with 44 POUNDS of bullets in about 40 minutes or so. :)
Now I am looking for more Magma molds. Holler if you have any that you arent using. Thanks!!
Yesterday I tumble lubed about 1K multi caliber boolits, sized them all, then pan lubed 400, and tumble lubed the rest.
Had a several hour long powder coat session that worked out well
I sanded down a synthetic gun stock and put on the first coat of primer. I found some more sanding will be necessary and may work on that tomorrow... then another coat of primer, some coyote tan paint, and some clear coat.

While heating up my lead pot and mold I loaded some 9mm with the Lyman 356402 boolits I cast up the other day. When the pot got hot enough, I cast 300 more of the Lyman boolits.
200 Sneezer bullets, cast and sized.
