As we all know we are responsible for the safety of our reloads.
We make safe reloads by paying careful attention to what we are doing.
There are devices like the Powder Cop that can double check our work but we should not depend on them to insure safe reloads. Some reloaders insist such devices are a crutch for poor reloading practices.
The way I look at is why not have equipment that assists me in making safe reloads?
I don't want to depend on any device but want devices that help me prevent errors.
I want to have cases labeled and under control at all times.
The blocks are designed to make 10 .30-30 cartridges. Why just 10? Because that's all I usually need and doing just 10 keeps the process manageable.
Here's the set up:
The Primed block has holes that only allow a case to be inserted upside down. Putting a charged case here dumps the powder.
The hole in the powder feed block is the only place I ever charge a case. As soon as the case is charged it goes into the Charged block.
The workflow:
After the Charged block is full it goes to the press for each case to get a bullet. It then goes into the Not Crimped block. When the Not Crimped block is full the cartridges go back to the press for a crimp and then into an ammo box.
So what do you think?
