One possibility is to find a piece of 1-1/8" plywood (typically used for subfloor), and mount the press to it. Counterbore for the bolt heads (and washers) and put the bolts in from the botton, so the nuts (and washers) are on top.
You can get a couple of deep-throat C-clamps and clamp this to any convenient table top without having to drill holes in the table.
This is how I have my presses mounted, so I can change them out (very small table) fairly easily.
Just my 2¢ worth. Maybe someone will take you up on your original idea - I think it is a good one! And, at the same time you are loading, other people who do not (yet) reload can watch and get an idea of the process. Have fun!
Reloading, of course!!!

However, I have a nice Dillon 650 set-up, with all of the gizmos, that was given to me by a friend who gave up reloading.
Man, I could use a friend or two like that. About all I can get out of my "friends" is a hard time.

It's very generous of you to consider setting it up at PSC for everyone else to learn.
If you decide against it, or if PSC can't accommodate it, BobCat seems to have a good idea.

I think that is a wonderful idea.george wrote:But maybe we could help some of those new people who are thinking about reloading, or uncertain about the process, or unable to spend $2000 on a fancy set-up.
Possibly get together once a month or so, maybe after IDPA!!
What if the range has a classroom, or this could be organized away from the shootin'?jhutto wrote:Not to be a downer but the range is good for shooting, not reloading.
I think the reloalding should be a organized and deliberate process/ I do not think a trip to the range with a bunch of people loading is condusive to this. It is easy to get distracted etc.
I get what you're saying, though, that reloading should be given it's own level of safety concerns.
