    Reloading Press footprints

    I am looking for diagrams for reloading presses, Dillion, Forster, RCBS etc.

    Does anyone have a source for footprint documents ?

    The reason why is for a metal plate I want to add to my bench, and I want to pre-drill the holes before I mount it and don't want to buy each press to get the footprint.

    Thanks

    I can give you the screw pattern for my rock chucker, but it might be easier just to go down to your local big box retailer like bass pro sportsmans and just measure it, maybe with something like graph paper to plot the holes.

        Have you tried Google?

        I have needed the exact dimensions of both the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Press and RCBS Partner Press a few times, as I was working on custom ways to mount them (like this portable reloading press stand).  Unfortunately, RCBS doesn’t publish anything to help with that … so I made a template and thought I would ...

          The foot print of the press and how much room you actually need to reload are two different things. For all the presses I have seen most only need about a square foot. My Dillon 1050 needs about 1X2 feet. But to actually reload a 3X3 foot area is what I consider minimum per press.
          If you want change you have to put in your 2 cents, you can't just sit on the sidelines and whine.

            Download the manuals. I know that the Hornady AP has a mounting template in the back of it, I imagine the rest do as well.

            I don't understand. Is he being forced out for being an ammo-grabbing fascist or for being a failure as an ammo-grabbing fascist?

              One mount, countless uses.    The flush mount quick change baseplate is for the reloader who's bench serves many purposes....
