ROCKDock -Reloading Bench Docking Mount System
Dillon 550B
"At last, the mailman brought the gadget I had been waiting for, the press docking mount from our very own Pat Marlin. As I expected, it is beautiful! This is a great setup, and for those of us whose benches must serve multiple purposes it is a wonderful addition. I had the docking mount installed in less than half an hour, and my Star and Lee presses bolted to their plates soon after. I shimmed it a bit, like the instructions say to do, and had it working to my liking in no time. I added a rail in front of my bench for my Akrobins, for that added bit of functionality. I highly recommend this setup! Thanks Pat,this thing is great!"

If you're like me you have limited reloading bench space, and now I find I need to move my presses more frequently... from loading bench to the shop, from the bench to the range, or to a portable bench in front of the TV.Then sometimes I need to easily swap bench positions of my presses and lube sizers for various tasks. Add the fact that I use 3 lube sizers each holding my favorite lubes, 4 presses and growing- bolting and unbolting is a pain.
I wanted to create a real strong- design that looked good on the bench and served other functions. This heavy duty docking mount system has exceeded expectations in every way and proved to be rock solid and a joy to use.

Pat says the following :
"These Checkmaker dies are fast and easy to set up, fast and easy to use, and produce accurate, concentric, gas checks with the help and accuracy of your reloading press and leave an extremely small amount of material waste."
He is ' dead on ' with his comments. This is a quality product and will work just as he describes. The ones I made this afternoon ( made from .010 CU ) were tried on 3 different .30 cal cast bullet designs. They fit tight on all 3.
Great Product Pat ! ! ! ....Well Done !
