Anti-static Mat?

(1/2) > >>

Mudinyeri:
Anyone using an anti-static mat on their reloading bench?  I inherited a reloading press and am putting my setup together.  The bench will be in a room with carpet.  I've put down a rubber mat over the carpet where the bench will be located.  Is an anti-static mat a good idea or overkill?

NENick:
Good idea. My reloading scales all go nuts with any amount of static. Gun powder also sticks to the inside of the plastic powder funnel. The scale also needs to be perfectly level or the platten will bind.

First big spark on a dry day will make it seem like a good idea.

Thanks, guys.

Hoping to setup my reloading area in a couple of months. Thanks for the idea, Mud.
