Thank you. I was thinking about supporting the edge and bracing it to its feet with 2x4s, but I'll see if I need to make the change after a while. Gotta do what I can without attaching to the walls in the apartment, but yes, the deflection is pretty annoying. I decapped, resized, trimmed, deburred/chamfer, brushed primer pockets, and washed 50 .223 cases to fill the loading block today. None of the .223 pockets looked crimped, not sure if that's only 5.56 specifically, but I separated all of them from the .223 after re-polishing the bunch. I think this 50rds are all good to prime on my next run.Looking good! If you find your bench wobbles or deflects a little bit, run a couple screws into the wall studs to anchor everything. I know you're doing rifle stuff. So you want as little deflection as possible from your bench moving and flexing. A nice stout bench built right into your house is what you want.
