@CWLONGSHOT lead, antimony and tin on the bottom of it, has lockable wheels. Assembly kind of sucked but no biggie
Oooooh I gotcha, hmmmmmm, well, use what works for ya, the set up you have now seems perfect, I just figured I’d mention the bench, now that I’m actually working at the bench, I’m beginning to learn what works for me, I know it’s definitely different for everyone thoughI like the idea for sure. But the pot on top is my issue. If I could integrate the box under a solid bench... Mine was a box I had at job. I was service manager so didnt need ta turn a wrench often so small kit was fine. I installed large wheels for outside uneven ground. So the box is already 3-4" taller then stock wheels.
You’ll find your “ happy place “, that’s definitely aggravating though, I need taller chairs at my bench.....100%. Generally (before this knee) I preferred to stand for all. Now Im forced to sit allot more but have tall benches. So its a bit if a aggravation.
Get a bar stool..............that's what I use at my reloading bench and outdoor casting. My portable casting set up is a Black and Decker Workmate with a piece of OSB clamped on. Nice thing about the Workmate is that it allows for two different heights, depending if folding legs are used. Extended they give 10-12 more inches in height. Everything stores flat, up against the wall, when not in use.100%. Generally (before this knee) I preferred to stand for all. Now Im forced to sit allot more but have tall benches.

Hey man, that SS is gorgeous!!! That’s a great idea using a bar stool, you can probably find a great one that’ll work perfectly. I’ve also got a pro melt 1 that I was given, I’ve got 30 to 1 in it right now, I’ve got plans to test softer, antimony free lead for my 38 spl HPsGet a bar stool..............that's what I use at my reloading bench and outdoor casting.

End of casting session.
Haven't met a cast bullet yet that my BH's cylinder won't accept. I using MP clone of the SAA or the RCBS 250 SWC PB. Three different pins. Solid, Penta and Conic.

Even tried commercially cast Bull-X (defunct) 300 grainers. BH accepts at the lower crimp groove.
