The new edition at Chateau Noisemaker has been tried out,

and it'll fit in nicely:
a Dillon 450 press. Picked it up at the fun show last weekend from a man who'd just bought a 550 and needed the space. Used, and cared for; everything's there, and works nice & smooth. I'll need to start collecting some conversions, and then it'll speed up a lot of loading.

Just in case anyone's wondering, that's a 1/4" steel plate bolted on top of the desk(top reinforced with a brace below). I marked the mounting holes, then drilled and tapped; the mounting bolts thread into the plate instead of going through. Same way I've been using the Square Deal B and the single-stage press; works nicely for mounting the powder measure, too. Having tried this out, I may have to make new holes a little more to the left, but a little rearranging of scale location may take care of it.
