I will check through my stuff and see if I still have the broken base.
As far as a previous post regarding not being able to charge but the outside edge of a loading block, I use the auto disk for pistol, and the other powder measure for rifle. Easier to weigh individual charge weights for the rifle. In either use, all of my cases are charged before going into the loading block. Just how I have always done it, it works for me. I have a buddy who charges his cases using a flat bar he made to extend from his press far enough to charge his brass in the block. No welding, just drilling and tapping. It works for him.
