Thread: Reloading Bench

Possibly a dumb question, there will be many more to come as I go down the reloading rabbit hole, is everyone's preference for reloading at a standing bench or sitting down? I've seen both on YouTube and just wonder if there is a case to argue for either. I'm building it so thought I'd ask beforehand.

I have bench for working at standing height with a high chair.

Mobile so it goes on the towball of the truck at the range would be nice.....

Standing for me, though i sit when weighing powder so that my eyes are level with the scales.
I'm usually only loading 10-40 rounds at a time though.

always standing, though my best advice (an i know i have said this many times) good lighting !!! far easier to see an error or mistake

Sitting for me. It may be that you have to try both to find out which one works best.

Reloading area I just seat the bench is a old bar so excellent height sitting or standing

Spare room which I converted to my man cave.

10 ring,what sort of press is that?

I would go standing but have a high chair/stool.

I like to have my balance scales at eye level when weighing powder, a tall bench with a short chair should make that process more comfortable than my current method of kneeling on the floor.

Standing so I can move to and froe between tasks easily and as stated beam scales at eye height.
If I have a longer singular task such as cleaning primer pockets I might sit.

Standing mostly, sit to weight powder and trimming cases.
