    I had my knee replaced and I stand now.

    I built my benches a little higher than std for sitting where everything when I sit is about at high chest level that way I can stand and sit - works perfect.

    I have done both. The best reloading bench I ever had(when I had room) was a Steelcase brand desk. I now have a bench that allows me to stand or sit on a bar height stool.

    I have reloaded for years standing at my bench but my right knee isn't doing great these days.
    I was curious to see who has a seated bench and what you have to say on the issue.
    I am using a fully equipt Dillon 650,with strong mount,roller handle, bullet tray, etc.

    Does anyone use this setup and /or had any problems or recommendations? Thanks
    I have the almost the same bench height as you and like it. My XL-650 is around 3 years old and has loaded well over 10K worth of .45ACP.

    I may reload for a couple hours and have always sit to do it. Never even occurred to me anyone would stand till I read threads like this one.

    I stand, one I need the leverage for .308 and two I only load for 20mins at a time so standing is no big deal.

    I feel if I am seated I might lose focus.

    I use a bar stool to "lean" against while I'm loading, except for 12 gauge. However, it's a hydraulic so I don't need to pull any levers.

    My friends setup that I use is a desk with a dillon progressive on it. ITS GREAT! I sit in a regular computer chair. I couldnt imagine standing there doing it...

    I sit down. I have my bench set so while sitting, everything is pretty much at eye level. It works great.

    I think I built the bench at 36". That way I can still use it as a regular bench for gun work.
