So what was your cost per round?
Excluding cases, about 25 cents. I bought 400 bullets on a FB page that is no longer around.
.035 primer
.15 bullet
.065 powder
The hunting rounds will be much more expensive, at $32 / 100.

I actually like the wingnut idea. Less in the way and less likely I'm gonna smack my knuckles on a big piece of metal

Sounds expensiveInline Fabrication quick change mounts.
Got my mystery press in the mail today. $3 raffle win. It's an RCBS RS-2.
I got a second box in today as well. A guy on Facebook was complaining what his pro1000 carrier broke. I offered to buy it for parts. I got it in the mail today and it's a complete pro1000 with all parts but the broken carrier.
I think I have enough room for one on the bench. I'm building a new seat bench for my table and have some small 6"-8" scraps of 2x8. I'm thinking of trying to mount each press to a piece of it and then just use big c-clamps to secure each to the bench when I need it.
Anyone ever do this?

I used to have my presses mounted to a piece of wood but I didn't use clamps. There are holes in my bench so I used big-ass bolts with wingnuts to hold them down. I imagine clamps would work just as well.
My press is bolted to a 14" 2x6 I use two wood working clamps and it doesn't budge. I used a slightly bowed board and when I clamp it down so it flattens it holds really strong.Got my mystery press in the mail today. $3 raffle win. It's an RCBS RS-2.

I started about 7 years ago with a Lee 4 hole turret press. I still use that having removed the control rod; I take each step maybe 100+ rnds then advance to the next step. Powder loads from RSBS powder measure. All my different dies are already in Lee turrets ready to drop in to change.
Anyone else doing it this way?
