Looks like it needs a ton a lead for.. because lead.

Wow! Very nice! Looks extremely sturdy!

You've come so far.....

Looks great - last set of benches I build looked similar and lasted 15 years...
Did you use an L bracket or two and secure the bench to a stud or two? It may help in the long run.

The really exciting part is the Dillon 1050 that's arriving Thursday to go on it

Good lookin bench.
LSWC has a good point.

Good lookin bench.
LSWC has a good point.

I just screwed mine directly to the studs in the wall. Definitely makes it sturdier to attach it to the wall one way or another.

I don't want to be a drag but...

I mounted my 1050 on a similar bench and discovered I needed to elevate the 1050 an inch so so the handle could make a full stroke.
It needed the elevation because it had to be set back from the edge of the bench so I could drill the screw mounting holes through the table and not into the 2x4 under the edge of the table.
Good luck and have fun with that Dillon.

I see your bench flaw.

your horizontals are not resting on top of your posts and need to be doubled up to reduce flex.

I kid,
I hate bench flex with a passion. One thing I overbuilt was my reloading bench.
