Each is 12 in. x 5.5 in. x 1 in.

Diameter of each hole is 0.5 in.

Each piece has fifty-five holes.

Got ‘em from my great uncle who was born in 1905 . . . these are certainly not THAT old ‘cause which of us started reloading as soon as we popped out of the womb, right? Though it might not surprise me if some of the folks around here did just that.

They look to be 1970’s technology . . . maybe earlier.

There’s a tiny warp to each of them but nothing that won’t keep them from getting the job done.

And on the back of one is a small spot among the measuring marks where Uncle John looks like he was practicing his checkering technique.

Maybe they’re not as cool as those expensive modern blocks milled from billet aluminum but these have a lot more character if you ask me.

And plus also they’re free.

These are some neat old home-made loading blocks that unfortunately I have no use for. Hate to see them going to waste in my shop. Plus I’ve got plenty of other keepsakes from good ol’ Uncle John.

Hope somebody here can get ‘em back in rotation.

Send me your address and I’ll get them right out to ya.

Thanks.

Jimmy
