  1. Default Case rack for 45 Auto Rim and 30-40 Krag

    Can you recommend a case rack for these two calibers?
    Havent had problem come up where I needed a special case rack in the past. All I reloaded was within the popular rim dimensions (45 ACP..30-06 SPRG etc)

    What so you mean by "case rack"? Loading block?

    I have a couple of special case blocks made from wood. One is for .32 ACP and the other for 7.62X54R. Just get a drill the correct size and a block of wood.

    A device by which a man can place his cartridge casings into 50 small spherical depressions in a block o' wood and not worry about the charged casings from spilling or being knocked over.

    Ahhh, yes, the loading block. So simple and inexpensive to make and cheap to buy in any size. Most commercial blocks have the calibers indicated on them that will fit. If you make your own, use a 'forrester' type bit for a flat bottom hole.

    I've made almost all my loading blocks out of wood drilling the proper size hole with a Forstner bit to get a nice, cylindrical, flat bottomed hole. Almost all the commercial ones don't have enough holes, or too many holes, or the dimensions are wrong for my space, or the fit is a compromise, or the holes are too deep, or too shallow. The few plastic ones I have I don't think I can find without a search.

    The conventional spelling, "Forstner", may prove helpful to avoid confusion when shopping.
