custom reloading blocks

[AndrewB]

I was looking for a solution for loading blocks for 416 Rigby and 475 Turnbull and 50–110, all large diameter cases

I found mintWorxs tools on the web and just got the loading blocks that I ordered from them. All I did when I ordered them is put a note in on the order that I wanted one for win mags, one for 416 Rigby and one for 50–110. They figured it out.

They’re 3-D printed, pre-numbered and fit the cases great and they’re deep enough so that the cases won’t fall over. I ordered three and they are very reasonably priced.

The owner actually sent me a handwritten note on the invoice asking me to let him know how they worked out

Nice young fellow.

Very nice for sure, and the owner obviously cares about his customers too.

IRT loading blocks, bench blocks, I've encountered some other quality offerings in the past few years.

Some of the nicest loading blocks I've seen came from Nosler a few years ago. Made by a local CNC shop, anodized. Don't think they still offer them now though.

I have the traditional wood blocks that were offered years ago through Shotgun News., and a couple of newer ones Stalwarts, actually the same blocks too.

My Son in Law has been making mine lately. He pulled a half dozen programs off the net and 3D prints them.
I don't know what brand/type of material he's using, but it is pretty chemical resistant.

The best reloading blocks that I've found are on Ebay by this seller 'red.dog.products' - https://www.ebay.com/usr/red.dog.products

They are 1" polished (and enameled ) aluminum and he can custom make those for any hole diameter. Not very expensive either. I bought a 50 round custom block from him for 7-6.5 PRC for 60 bucks.

these have the tightest lockup of the blocks I’ve tried and they are universal.

I've got one of his blocks and it's quite nice. He'll also engrave each side with whatever you want.

I used to just use the generic trays from RCBS, Lyman, etc.

Now I print my own. Next project is to print up a cartridge box for the range for my long bullet .223 loads.

Indoor use std PLA filament is fine (it does not do well at high temps or in sunlight). For outdoors I'll probably use PETG or ASA.

Why not make what you want. A loading block is as simple as it gets

I just use a straight piece of oak & my drill press, easy peasy!

Maybe not quite as simple as a piece of oak and a drill press but not too far off…..

I might have to check out those MintWorxs Tools ones. The whiteboard idea seems cool.

These are the ones I've been using lately...
