    From searching online, somepeople are even using it indoors.

    Yeah, I got two of those - but they are so pretty I couldn't bring myself to drilling holes in that nice wood - I use them for all of my other reloading stuff. I got two (cheaper) Craftsman benches to mount my reloaders too - work fine. I agree the Costco benches are nice.

        I want to buy one more but have no room in the garage for it. I aready have the Costco one and a smaller one with drawers that I got from Home Depot. They are nice though when they are new. Mine is all scratched up from wrenching on it also. Good thing is that it is thick enough that you can sand it down and refinish it the future.

            Now that's a tight workspace! Do you put up a TV tray or something next to you so you have a little table to work with?

              I bought the Costco bench on clearance and mounted my equipment on it. Works great and is useful for all kinds of man-crafts.

                Yea, that's my little corner in the laundry room.... Actually it works very well. Don't need anything else, the bullets are on the left, the cases on the right.

                  I finally got my Dillon 650 and need to get a bench to set it up.. Thing is, I live in an apt and will have it set up inside in the dining room area.. I don't have a table in there now or anything to set it on.

                  Would this be too small? Thanks.. Oh, and since it's inside I'm hoping to find something that looks half way decent.
                  Whatever bench use use or build just remember the XL-650's need (must) have
                  very strong platform to be mounted on. If not the 650 will give you problems in the primer seating function, since they hate movement... Ask me how I know?
