Reloading tray for 45 70

[Milt Dale]

Does anyone know of a good tray for 45 70, or should I make one, thanks?

I use a 20ga shotgun shell loading block. Works very well.

I have made mine with planks using Forstner bits. They leave a flat bottom hole. I have also seen them done with two boards glue together. Holes drilled all the way through the first and second board glue to the bottom.

Thanks to both of you!

Made one with a drill and a piece of 2x6. Enough to load 20rounds at a time

Frankfort arsenal one I got from Amazon for a couple bucks works great.

That's what I do too. I've also got a heavy wooden one the looks home-made that I must have got in some deal or other. That one is very thick and the shells often go to the range still in it.

I use a multi caliber tray that I got from Midway USA years ago. I can't recall the brand, I think it was generic, but it's blue and works really well.

Those trays actually work very well for Snider and 577-450.

I must have 3 or 4 dozen trays for different diameter cases. One is RCBS plastic and all the rest are wood. A couple are 2x6 but most are hardwood pallet planks. It only takes a few minutes to lay out pencil lines and find the right size spade bit for the drill press.
If you don't have the drill press or want them a little deeper you can go all the way through the plank and then attach a piece of 1/8" hardboard or similar to the underside.

I have several CaseGuard H50 cases with 2 different internal holder design, one which holds the largest brass mouth-up
Looking at the catalogue, it may be the H50-XL
45/70 doesn't fit to the bottom of the holder but is secure to hold with a powder charge, then flip once the bullet is in, overkill for storage but they work.

Looks like the .615" Lyman loading blocks are advertised to fit 45-70.
The .585" Area 419 loading block that I use for my 338 Lapua is too small to fit 45-70.

Where did you find them for 8 bucks? The only ones I see are $20.

Sorry, that was Amazon.com I was looking at and it was a Lyman. Either way Hirsch has them for $10

There is a guy on gun po st that offers 3d printed or machined alum ones.
