Got sick of my little 40 case loading blocks so I made one a little bigger. Now I can do some high volume lubing and sizing 
This is what I am using the loading blocks for, but always have more than 80 cases to do at a time.

I got a 12x12x 3/4 piece of HDPE from Amazon for $19 then I cheated and made a program for one of my mills to make the pockets. Quoted:

Details - What's it made of? Scrap something or a plastic block with drilled holes? Inquiring minds want to know.

I could make a bunch of stuff, if I had a mill and a lathe.

Ive never used a loading block, ive always done the Charge a case seat the pill kinda bloke :) differant strokes for differant blokes. But agreed thats a hell of a loading block :) Yeah I just use loading blocks to lube cases(spray with OneShot) I load in the progressive. Cases in a loading block is how you properly lube with OneShot

I admit it, I'm lazy. After tumbling them clean, my pistol brass goes into one of my pretzel kegs until I'm ready to reload them so I have no need for a block like that. Then I just dump them into the casefeeder and reload away. No trickling and/or lubing straight walled pistol brass (38spl, 357mag, 40s&w, 10mm, 45acp, 45 Super, or 45 Colt) for me. Even my 357mag and 45 Colt loads that I shoot long range in my leverguns are just run through my 650 after cleaning. |

Although I may put in a pocket for .223 later just go deeper in the same pocket. |

First, I thought your picture looked like necked brass rather than 40s&w but what do I know. Second, you are into the precision, long range, shooting so it makes sense to have that. BTW, is that your personal milling machine or do you have ready access to one? |

Being the only person to do programming/set-up/fixture building/design/and production I don't really get much time(or desire anymore) to do personal stuff unless it a quicky thing like this once in a while. |

Not for OneShot. This method is how I can use OneSHot for nearly 20 years as my only rifle case lube without any issues with stuck cases or sizing inconsistencies or mess. Quoted:

I throw mine in a zip lock bag and shake. Not for OneShot. This method is how I can use OneSHot for nearly 20 years as my only rifle case lube without any issues with stuck cases or sizing inconsistencies or mess. The one think I hate about one shot is the damn smell. But I still use the hell out of it. Not many fans of one shot lube. Hell I like the other one shot stuff too (dry lube) |
