Loading Blocks

[270man]

Fellow Reloaders,

I still load my handgun ammo the old way -- single stage press, etc. I process my cases in big lots and keep them ready for charging. Sometimes the are primed and sometimes not. My Bonanza Bullseye Pistol Powder Measure is pretty accurate for most handgun powders and primed cases set in my loading block for charging.

I have 4 different blocks and my favorite for handgun cases is a yellow Flambeau that holds 60 rounds of large caliber cases on oneside and 60 smaller caliber cases (e.g., 40S&W, 9mm) on the other side. The holes are square. The only problem with this block is that it is a bit too thick. The cases set too deep in the holes and are a little difficult to pick up with the fingers.

Do any of you find this a problem? If so, I would like to hear what type and brand of loading block you prefer.
