Home-Made equipment

I noticed that the Hunting section of the forum has a thread where people can share their good times. In a similar spirit, lets share our good/bad ideas...

So this is my homemade reloading tray. I got the idea when i saw a homemade tray that was made of wood. someone took piece of wood and drill some holes in it and bam.. reloading tray. well.. i dont really have any spare wood or a drill press. What i do have are used USPS flat-rate boxes that people have mailed me stuff in.

Ghetto functional to the max.

I like it, use what you have.

Shop built stuff always give you satisfaction.
I make odd dies, die parts, misc gun parts like firing pins and the like -- Made a wooden shell holder tray like a loading tray.

ran across a press the other day. 9mm and .44 trays.

Does using screw drivers as hammers qualify? lol

Made a custom bullet sizing die for shooting my vetterli - sizes to .437. Also made pilots for trimming the brass for the vetterli on my case trimmer. Finally rigged up an electrolysis tank for cleaning badly rusted rifles

Which drill bit do you use for a 9mm loading block? 5/16 is a little small right?

[Chief-7700]

5/16 is a bit small since the 9MM rim is .394 a 13/32" drill bit will do the job or just oversize it and use 7/16"

[mnguyen84]

i prolly used what Chief said. for the .44, my friend didn't have a big enough bit.. so i had to file it by hand. i'm getting buff from reloading.

These blocks have been helpful. Im always looking for a reason to use the drill press...

[mnguyen84]

blocks for your die set. that's awesome. do you have to drill and another small hole in the middle for the depriming pin?
