In the interest of helping me make a couple of these, would you guys post photos of different loading blocks you use?

Not necessarily HD.Huntin Dawg said:That chart gives the size to drill for the ball diameter. Don't forget that a patch needs to squeeze in there also so the hole may need to be a bit larger. I use 5/8 for .54 caliber. and 9/16 for .50 caliber.
Your results may vary.

Not for me. My .50 caliber ball is .490
Adding the .015 patch makes it tight enough to stay in the block.
