Winter project time

[bat119]

Winter here is harsh no triggers getting pulled outside lot's of time for casting and making some accessories
A short starter with a threaded end for .50 or .54, threaded handle for pulling bullets, 20gr. powder scoop, pistol rod and some loading blocks .50, .54

Still a few months to for making widgets

Any suggestions on making a loading block for the Lee REAL bullets? The taper is the part I can't think around. It would be really nice to have a block full of pre-greased bullets ready to load, would cut down the mess at the range.

Also what size hole would you suggest for 50 cal round ball. I think I measured the grooves up at around 0.520 and the lands at 0.500. Need to check my measurements again.

I used a 1/2" forstner bit for 50 cal .490 ball .015 patch is tight

For the REAL bullet I'd try a 13mm bit (0.5118") the bottom band is .517 greased up it should stay put
