I was looking through the 'net for portable reloading bench plans and ideas. There are a ton of them but I'd like to ask the esteemed members here for some advice.

Any of you use a portable loading bench and if so what type did you find works the best. Thanks

I have a single stage press on one side of a Frankford

Arsenal reloading stand and a powder measure on the other side. Takes up about 2 sq ft. It has 2 bins hanging on both sides of it as well.

I've seen portable benches on Workmates.

Hand held Lee Press or the simple hammer set

Full size clamped to kitchen table as well as mounted to a bar stool.

Podium style, with cabinet and high top, set on locking casters, can move around.

I have an 8ft×2ft work bench that if necessary I can fold and store behind a door.
Has been sturdy enough to size up to 30-06 holds a 4 inch vice and have built ARs on it, but I've also done the latter standing on the vice block and torquing on the floor(so we won't count that)

Lee (not sure of others) has quick change plates for mount one plate and can swap presses in and out.

I’m using the Lee hand press

With a powder measure clamped to a coffee table, and my scale on a tv tray stand.. My single stage and 550B are out in a trailer. I prefer the single stage, but no room in the house.

Lee "Nutcracker" Press.
