Torsion box bench tops are a very robust design if you have the right tools and some woodworking skills to make it.
You will definitely need at least a jointer but a jointer and a planer both are ideal. You could probably get away with using 2x2s as well for something like this.
One drawback though is you have to reinforce the area you will be mounting the press/presses to. Not for strength reasons so much as just so you will have substance to screw/bolt to.
Really though they are probably overkill for reloading. double up 1/2 or 3/4 ply and you will be good to go.
