I have decided to go down the rabbit hole of reloading. I have order a Hornady Classic kit that should be here anytime now.
I will like to build a reloading bench for it, and will like to hear your experiences.
I'm looking for some first hand experience into sizing the bench top.
I'm guessing 24" depth, that is the size of my woodworking bench top. And maybe 4 or 5' width?.
How about thickness, will 1 1/2" be sturdy enough or should I go with 2". It will be a solid slab. I was thinking red oak, but the grain may be a problem. Maybe I'll go with some Ash or maple.
How about the height? I like to use this bench also for cleaning my rifles.
Any suggestions are welcome.
