    Custom Size Loading Blocks

    So really just sort of seeing if there is any interest in this, because of some of the oddball calibers I shoot, I was having problems finding good loading blocks and ways to safely store some of my larger precision rounds.

    Anyhoo, I have made a few for friends but figure maybe more peoples might want them, just making these in the garage. For the loading trays, they range between $15-$20 depending on the material thickness, usually go thicker for the larger calibers like 300wm etc.

    The ammo can inserts are currently specific to the plastic ammo cans from Bass Pro, and I am working on a two layer for my 308 precision, just to give you an idea of where this can go. Still sorting out the cost to make these, they are a lot of work, but I figure if you spend a lot of time like i do loading match grade ammo, I want it well protected.

    This is actually a thin version of the 300wm block-



    408 cheytac block



    thick 308 block



    .223 / 5.56 block (also show the bottom, I like to use clear on the bottom so I can quickly inspect to make sure I didnt forget any primers and such.





    And this is the storage box, Im still refining this a little, going to use thicker material on the side plates, and have sort of a foam backed "cap" to protect the rounds if the box were to be knocked over -

    Cool. I could see use beyond just reloaders. Like if you have specific ammo for higher end rifles taking longer shots and want a way to display, carry, organize, seperate.

          I am interested at that price. How tight are the rounds in the block?

                The loading blocks are going to run $15 made from 1/8" material or $20 made from 1/4 material. Can make them from pretty much any color, but if you want a color I don't have, you will need to buy at least 4 of them.

                I have them set so there is about .030 (1/16) clearance around the case, but if for whatever reason you want it closer, it's pretty easy to change.

                The big storage box system I have to finish up the final prototype, but probably about $60-80 for a single stack, and maybe $100 or so for a double stack. But still working on them.

                  I would like a couple of your 408 Chey-Tac loading trays in any color you have.
                  Let me know where to send the funds.
