Yep, I’m thinking a set of shelves in the center kinda like this one I saw on a YouTube build.

What's a basement? I haven't had one since 1988 at Ft. Knox, KY.
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

To what do you attach the ground strap from the press?
This is a basement situation for me, so the water pipes run on the ceiling: Cold water pipe; "the ground wire in a receptacle" (assuming a 3 wire... hot, neutral and ground)
Sorry but, On the Reloading sites I visit, this practice is a No No...Me no no Why...but, not ever having any static problems, I only notice such things in Passing
I can see it as optional, but a no, no??... nope. I contacted Dillon, Lee and RBC, all said you can but optional. Specifically, this is Dillon's response:
"You can ground the machine if you like. There are posts on Brian Enos's forum that discuss this. If you are experiencing static electricity in the powder measure tube, it can be addressed by swabbing out the inside of the tube with a laundry dryer sheet.
Additionally you can cut a narrow strip from the dryer sheet.
Run it all the way down the inside of the powder hopper.
Fold the rest over the top of the hopper and tape it to the outside for continuous static dampening.
See if these techniques help to eliminate or reduce the problem."
Lee said optional but is static is a issue, put a anti-static matt on the floor (which would be grounded) to take away static from your person (mostly cloths, shoes, etc.).
It's a cheap, one-time install with no harm so I choose to do it.

The No No is to ground to your Electrical System in yer House...yes it is a Ground...No it is Not for external Use..
Again..I have never had a static Problem..so IDK, but when I get slight powder cling in a Measure...I use Dryer Sheets..
I have heard (don't know if True) that some powder companies No Longer use Graphite Coatings on powder, and so Cling is more of a Problem with Some Powders..Which??? IDK

Is it possible that some primers fell into the tube facing each other? Two with the business end facing each other may have bumped each other & fired off under pressure, then fired off the next few up the line?I don't have a system like that. I intentionally hand prime only, so I can get a feel of an irregular one coming into the mix & to make sure one doesn't go in backwards. But I also only reload a few hundred at a session, maybe you guys are into the 1K area?
I've been reloading since the 70's. I still hand prime, never done it any other way. I only use single stage presses, or a lee 3 position press with the mechanism removed so it is a single stage that you manually index to do a different function(I keep several calibers set up that way so don't have to constantly be resetting my dies in single stage press all the time). I weigh every single charge, I don't use powder throwers, never have except to test consistency and not one out there is worth a damn all manufacturer's included. Just one thing at a time, I'm into precision and I refuse to ever use any shortcuts. I generally clean, resize brass, and prime one day, however much I have since the last time, and load what I want any other day from my stash of primed brass. I don't mix case manufacturer's either. My mistakes reloading amount to somehow having an unprimed case in my stash and not noticing. It doesn't work too well loading an unprimed case...
