I've decided to get into reloading since I'd like to shoot a lot more for the same amount of money. After doing a bunch of research, I settled upon the Dillon XL650 and purchased it with accessories for 9mm, .40 and .45.
So, I've mostly assembled my bench and am at the point where I want to check clearances before I do final tightening & lag everything down. I start unpacking the XL650 box and while flipping through the instructions I notice that it says that I need a minimum of 44" overhead clearance from the top of the bench. Crap. My ceilings in my basement are 78" tall.
So, I do my math and it appears that the bench top can be no taller than 34" off the ground. I don't know if that 44" includes the strong mounts ether - subtract some more for the strong mounts and I think I'm friggin hosed.
Am I doing the math wrong or do I need to find another place for my reloading setup? Or is it just going to be neccessary to have a reloading bench that is 29" off the ground?
