338 LM reloading tray

Why are these so unobtanium? I can't find one to save my life.

That's why 3D printers are great...! I designed/printed a few trays couple of years ago and gave it to a friend with the rifle I sold him... PM me if you still need one...

P.S.: Found the design file, uploaded it to Thingiverse; ht tps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5138555

Blind holes in a board comes to mind.

A 20 gauge reloading tray is what I use.

Drill press with Fostner bits. They make flat bottom holes. Takes longer to mark out where you want the holes than to actually drill them out.

Or drill through and glue a thin sheet of mdf on the bottom. Nice wood can be had from trashed furniture.

I'm not even sure how many I have... More than 2 dozen anyway. Nice for batch loading.

I have one that is likely 70 years old that my father made , it is of select walnut with a Japaned metal bottom, really nice.
I love making them, much prefer them to modern stuff ,just because!

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments.

Except you aakoksal. This got expensive.

What's a good 3d printer?

If you are intent on buying one then Frankford Arsenal makes one for the 338LM. It's currentty available on amazon and potentially your local retailers.

Area 419 makes some nice ones.
