Well, I am waiting for a barrel to come for my 6.8 AR build in progress so I figured I would take some time to build a few projects to help my reloading process.

I made 17 reloading trays and a Lee turret holder. I'm also an avid woodworker.

I used left over maple for the loading blocks, cherry and zebra wood for the turret holder.

I am hoping to use the 7mm rem mag for Elk hunting in Wy or Montana in the future.

6.8 for coyote and hogs in the future.
 
Build is on hold until we have spare $$. I will only be bcg and handrail short of a complete build...so close...been antsy so I went and made more loading blocks for my .223 friends.

No pics...same as above really.

Best regards
 
Looks great! Also a fellow woodeorker who needs to go dust off my tools and build something.

Just curious, why would you need that many loading blocks though? I never really use them at all. I load like I do shotshells. Pick up a primed case, charge with powder, seat bullet then place it in a ammo box. If I had 49 cases charged with powder waiting for bullets I would certainly spill them all reaching for #50!

I use them each time to keep the charged shells from being knocked over by my clumsy fingers. I have two for each caliber I load. I am giving the rest as gifts to friends at my gun club. I may sell some also.
