Stand or sit while casting

[CZ93X62]

Mostly sitting on a bar stool for reloading and casting.

I stand, I built the bench to be proper height for a 6'2" dude, so everything is at proper eye level. I add a box fan out the main door to remove fumes. Don't mind the mess, I was building and organizing in these pictures.

A mill but no lathe?

I sit when I cast at eye level with the spout on my RCBS Pro Melt.

 

[Creeker]

Stand.

 

[Walks]

Sit, used to stand. Busted back, bad knees.

I sit for all my reloading tasks, including casting. My bench is too low for standing....

I've access to a lathe, but got that mill for 80% lowers, stock inletting, mould modification and making small parts. It was cheap enough that it's paid for itself many times over so when I need to do real work, I go to the big shop.

Barstools- Some of the greatest shooters and most experienced reloaders I've ever talked to have been sitting on a barstool. I wonder if they'd be so good if the barstool was in front of a reloading bench and not in front of a set of beer taps and shot glasses?

Depends upon the specific task, all of the above, ladel, pour- stand or padded stool, bottom pour- sit. Loading, depends upon my mood.

I use a 24" barstool. My bench is designed for standing or using a 24" stool. I cast using a picnic table with bottom pour pot's spout raised to eye level. Using an old kitchen chair.

Shoot, your "messy" workbench is WAY cleaner/neater than my "normal" workbench....

I have a dedicated bench for casting that is sitting height.
For reloading I do what I feel like that day.
I have two benches for that; one standing height and the other at sitting height.
Have a Rock Dock on both of them so I can put the press on whichever bench I prefer that day.

I stand now.. myself

 

[JWFilips]

I bottom Pour & I sit! Got a good swivel chair which helps moving around

Stand so when casting in bare feet and underwear I can jump out of the way LOL.
Yeah I push my luck, how do you make this purple?

Sit 90% of the time, required by back surgery. Standing brings lower back pain in fifteen or twenty minutes. I stand up and move around every forty-five minutes or so to stimulate circulation. This allows refilling the pot and the pot coming back up to temperature.
