Any pull their press handle with their non dominant hand? I’m setting up a new room since I moved and it’s much smaller. The best layout I can come up with has me pulling the handle left handed. I’m going to run my scales on one wall on a separate table than the press, that way I can work independently of the scales running and hopefully save some time.

You can make the hands do anything.
You cannot force the eyes to focus.
Back to the shoot with the dominant eye argument. A few reps and you will be fine.

Any pull their press handle with their non dominant hand? Yes. Pulling the handle is grunt work. I use my dominant hand for all the more complicated stuff.

Sounds reasonable. It’s just the most logical way to lay out the space available. I’ve always had my scales to the left of my press, now they will be to the right.

I find that my dominate hand does better holding projectiles rather than pulling a handle. I mounted my newest press on the left end of my bench to use my left (non dominate) hand to pull the press and love it.

I rarely have a press mounted on a corner...that way I just switch which side of the press I have my chair on. Most of the time I use my dominate hand but not always.
My scale is always to the right of where my seating press is...no real reason except my first setup didn't have much room and that was the way it was aligned and I've always kept it that way. I have generally set mine up as an assembly line...annealer left, sizing press next, then primer pocket cleaner (RCBS brass prep center) then my arbor press and scale.

I’m a lefty. Press is to the right. Handle pulled with non dominant hand. Left hand for the finer motor skills. Fewer missteps for me and I work quicker that way. Scale is eye level to the left of the press directly in front of me when I load. Powder measure is just to the right of the scale. Pull the lever with my right. Hold the pan and put it on the scale with the left. Set your bench up so the ergonomics work for you and your gear.
