That one is just a piece of aluminum arrow shaft with a cheap Lee funnel glued on top.

Ok, that makes sense to me. I knew there was such a thing, but really had never seen one mounted that way, or understood exactly what its purpose was.
BTW: I did a bit of an upgrade this weekend to my reloading station. The $10 drafting desk was a but flimsy and the top flexed when working the press so I beefed it up a bit. I screwed through the top into two 2x4s that run from front to back then put a 1x4 under the press and srewed through the 1x4 and the table top into the 2x4s. I also screwed some 90 degree metal angle brackets onto the table top and secured them with 2" course thread drywall screws into the wall studs. (I can do this only because the landlord is planing on gutting the entire basement and remodeling when I move out) She still aint pretty, but she's solid as a rock now.
One of these days when I'm settled into one place I'll get a real bench. But for now, while I am renting and still in school, this will have to do.
Here's a new pic of the "improvised improvement" and 50 rounds of 125gr HP .357 magnums I just finished loading.
