Thanks for the responses guys. I’ve got 3 cans in jail and really want to get a good load figured out to shoot quietly for when the crown grants me permission. I’ve got the 147 xtremes ordered from...
Here's the raw steel...
Metal die holders are ready!
I make these from 1x2 angle iron. They're drilled for standard size dies and can be made with however many holes you want.
3 holes for $18 shipped. Each additional...
I’ll do 25 hole walnut blocks for $25 shipped. Still working on getting 50 hole blocks to look good and stay at a manageable size.
I dont reload either of those calibers. Could you measure the...
Just looked up up some old photos and reviews of that. Looks kinda like what I had in mind for a table top. The heavy weight, no clamp needed Design is pretty unique. I think I could probably make...
That's how I feel. Space is essential. I've actually made a few benches like this for people here in Utah and sold them for 400 but I can't ship them all over the country. I see lots of posts about...
Hey all, I'm a welder and woodworker and have some plans to make a simple take-down/ portable reloading station to sell. I need your input as to what sizes and features would be best to incorporate...
Just discovered the original pic doesn't work on Tapatalk for some reason. Here it is again with a few close...
Thanks! I really enjoy making stuff like this.

Also made this one for 30 caliber and similar rounds (.308, .30-06, .270, etc.).
I'll put the first coat of oil on both tonight....
Here it is without the finish. I usually apply a few coats of tung oil to protect and add a little...
Just got the wood and bits I need for the 12 gauge loading block. I’ll keep you updated.
Let me try making some and I'll send you pics
As in a loading block for the hulls? 25 or 50?
Hey all, I make these wood(mostly walnut) blocks for holding all of your reloading necessities. I'm posting them for sale here to anyone interested. I can do exactly as pictured or make them smaller...
If you do go with the t track, don’t be too scared to use a router. It’s a very quick learning process. Make it easy on yourself by using a straight track against the router to guide you so you get a...
I’ve tumbled plenty of live rounds. Most often because I forgot to tumble after resizing to remove lube so ill just do it after loading. Never had an issue. Sure makes them look pretty too.
Yeah, like H8machinex said, always check die setup first. Most likely it’s your decapping pins. Try disassembling your dies and then following the RCBS instructions for setting them up. Sometimes...
Interesting. So far the best factory load I’ve found for my Savage has been Remington corelokts. I believe 150gr. Grouped 1.5” at 200yds no problem. My goal now is to work something up with the 150...
Similar to others, I tumble mine in corn cob after resizing, trimming, and chamfering. It cleans the lube and the brass scraps so the cases are all shiny and ready to load.
An important thing with lube(especially spray lube) is to not over do it and to be sure that you allow time for the alcohol to evaporate after applying. Stuck cases often happen because the user...
I was was concerned about this at first too but like Wm Dunn said, if the bottle is good and you don’t absolutely soak the cases, it’s totally fine. I’ve been using RCBS case slick spray and it’s...
Actually it was the funnel that caused spillage. I was filling the hopper with the funnel and started going a bit too quick so it backed the funnel up and spilled over the sides. I’ve never actually...
Thanks for posting this! I was just about to come here asking about some WCC .45 I found in my stash and stumbled on this thread. Very helpful.
Hickock 45 has a great series of reloading videos that I used when starting out. Here’s the one that explained the process and helped get me off the fence.
