Thread: Built my first handloading bench using recycled pallets

Not sure you'll really need to worry about the steel plate - unless you're looking to resize cannon shells. I'd try out what you have and see what it goes like, as I have my presses bolted to 25mm container deck ply as my reloading bench top and have resized from 22 hornet through to 338LM. The biggest issue I think is type of dies more so that case size though, and in that case Hornady are the worst for press force in my experience.
