Curious how many sit or stand while reloading. I see so many pics of benches with chairs, I'm thinking
I'm not in the norm...my bench is set up for standing. |

I currently stand using my Lee Classic Cast Turret...however
My bench is just a tad low and my back starts to get quite sore after an hour or reloading more because you have to throw the arm down so low to cycle. I purchased a wooden stool and it's just a tad too tall, need to chop the legs off and see if I can work with that. However it just feels weird sitting down. |

sit. i have a ridiculous executive chair (a bit gaudy in today's terms) but comfortable as all get-out that I sit at my mahogany reloading desk (not kidding, wife got her old boss's desk/credenza for free when he decided to upgrade)...
hey, worked out for me. this thing is built like a brick $hithouse. |

When my press was on my taller work bench I stood because I didn't have a tall bar stool.
I have moved my press to a portable craftsman workbench so that I can take it to the Club for reloading meetings. Now it is at a good height to sit in a chair and work all day. The only exception is when I am using the Super Swage. Have to stand to get the extra leverage. Since I took this picture, the super swage has been mounted behind the press, betwen the scale and the trimmer. It might be hard to see, but the table on the right is the old bench (too high) at 36". The new workstation is 32". (also, the room has been rearranged and straightened up...looks totally different now but you get the idea)

| I sit when I'm working on the Rock Chucker...it is mounted on a low bench. I stand at the 650, which is mounted on an old steel gov't type desk. With the strong mount it is the perfect height for an hour long standing session, which is just enough time to crank out several boxes of ammo. My next hour is spend wiping off and case guaging the completed rounds at the kitchen table then repeat the cycle. |

I am on my feet all day at work, I have to sit when I can. I too have an office chair. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I sit all day and try to stand when possible. Actually sitting just doesn't work for me when reloading. Too far away for me to glance in the case to ensure power is present and no double charge. |

Pretty much this! Quoted:

Both. Depending on what I am doing. My bench is waist high and I use a bar stool for when I want to sit. Pretty much this! Ditto... but I find sometimes rifle sizing requires a good stand to get the leverage right. I am not a big guy.

I stand until my back hurts, then sit on either a bar stool with out a back rest or folding chair. After awhile I stand again. My back is F'ed up from work injuries. 
I'd like to get a stool with a back rest to lean on. I'll try that for awhile. Maybe I'll look for that stool tomorrow. |
