9mm load blocks

[RainDodger]

The perfect solution! Simply buy a progressive press! Dillon comes to mind. It's a great excuse to buy more loading equipment. Why buy a suitable loading block when you can buy a new press?!

(now realize guys, that WAS a joke... )

I use the Lee Classic Turret for 9 mm, and according to the log I have reloaded several thousand. I have loose, primed hulls in a container, I load it into the shell holder, and run it through the cycle. It dumps into another container after the last op. I have a lamp mounted to the press and I look into each hull at the powder after charging and before inserting the bullet. No radio, no company, no nothing while I reload shells.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

For everyone that uses empty plastic ammo box trays .... you can buy those cheaply on Amazon from the same people that make them to be used in ammo boxes.

Go to Amazon and copy/paste the following search phrase, "Redneck Convent Small Caliber 50 Round Universal Reloading Ammo Tray Loading Blocks 30-Pack" .... be sure to choose small caliber, they are $15.00 (50 cents ea) for a 30 pack.

Uniformly sized, stacks neatly, all the small 50 round trays you'll ever need and they work great under powder dispensers.

They have a 10 pack option as well for $10 ($1 ea) but I went with the 30 ct because I can work 1500 rounds at a time that way and they were half the price that way. Might give ten to my Son.

Ya, I have been using the same single stage press for 20 years...

I am so backwards I take the case out of the RCBS loading block and hold it myself under the Uniflow drop tube, then put it back and grab the next one, just to make sure powder is in each and every one. Empty is upside down, filled right side up, (of course), and then checked with flashlight for final inspection after that block is full. Yeah, slow and painful, but I have time. Heck, I already cast and powdercoat the bullets, might as well take my time.

I thought everyone running a loading block did this. Maybe that's why there are squibs and kabooms in people's lives

I have a Frankford Arsenal #3 that I used for 9mm before I got my progressive.

Some other 9mm ones here

CNC machined from T-6 aluminum billet. These are my favorite blocks.

I’d have a hard time pulling a case from the middle of that one with my fat fingers.
And I’d worry abou static with a metal block.
It’s pretty though.

 

[Otto]

^Huh?
Electric charges tend to build up on poor conductors, like plastics, resulting in static electricity. If anything, aluminium is safer.

 

[Atavar]

It’s not the buildup you worry about, it’s the sudden discharge through a good conductor. That’s why they put 100k ohm resistors in static grounding cables.
Sorta like it’s not the long fall that hurts, it’s the sudden stop at the end.

So where can we buy these? Links?

Frankford Arsenal #3 works great.

I second that.
