    Are you talking about a lock with 10x10 holes to hold cartridges?


    I made some from hardwood years ago for loading powder while reloading on a single stage press

    Why aluminum?

          I usually get them from midwayusa. plastic or wood. I haven't seen metal ones in a long time since I started back in 1995.

                I only see case gauges there.
                The OP is asking for loading blocks.
                Are you using a larger sized case gauge as a loading block for a smaller cartridge?

                    I know what you are talking about. A few years ago, we had someone who was making them out of billet, really nice stuff, totally "bulletproof" looking. I don't think it was a Calgunner but it was posted here in the reloading thread somewhere because I recall I was planning on getting a few, but I became distracted and never did.

                    Lyman has some but they are anodized but they look nice?


                    These ones look interesting too!


                    These ones look like a great deal!

                      Any concern with static electricity and the aluminum blocks?

                        Pro-NRA makes aluminum 50rd loading blocks. May be worth sending a PM to see if he’d make a 10x10

                            I contacted him and unfortunately he no longer makes them.

                              I know a guy. Do you want anodized or bare aluminum? Anodizing is shut down until next year.
                              There are some people that it's just not worth engaging.

                              It's a muzzle BRAKE, not a muzzle break. Or is your muzzle tired?
