Hi guys, new to this forum, but I recently had the chance to review these blocks by CNC Shooter and they're very, very nice. They're having a pretty good sale right now through the end of the year, and so I thought I'd post a link for anyone who might be interested. *For the record, I'm not affiliated with CNC Shooter or any company whose products I review; I just think it's a nice reloading accessory.

@dryflash3, I wish I could do that! Those look really good! Everything he makes looks really good. It makes me want to get into wood working, to supplement my reloading, which I only got into to supplement my shooting. If I start stacking hobbies like that I won't have time for guns anymore

If I start stacking hobbies like that I won't have time for guns anymore Not to mention shooting and reloading aren't getting any cheaper. If I pick up too many more hobbies I'll probably run out of money before I run out of time! Unfortunately...

@dryflash3, I wish I could do that! Those look really good! Theyre' pretty basic. Locate where you want holes, drill holes with a drill press (all the way through), glue a piece of hardboard to the bottom of the drilled plank, sand, then coat with varnish. BTW - the machined block looks awesome. |

As I recall Dryflash drills his with a foresner bit rather than a 2-piece design. He also puts the finger-grooves in the side with a table saw. They are the same size as the old midway blocks. I made 3 or 4 out of 1/2 oak from a kitchen I tore out. The old cabinets were complete crap, but the drawer faces made great loading blocks. I never put the finger grooves in the side though. |

So here's a question...in the spirit of CNC machining, are there any features that could make a loading block more useful? I have plenty of aluminum blocks, and a mill that's begging for some quality time Perhaps we can develop something all together better (or perhaps not).

But I don't have any access to machining equipment, so I'll leave the innovation to experts
