The Lyman 7728085 Bleacher Loading Block streamlines cartridge preparation for .223 Remington reloaders with precision-machined holes sized at .388 diameter. This aluminum loading block eliminates cartridge tip-overs and provides stable case positioning during powder charging, bullet seating, and inspection procedures.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic loading blocks with loose-fitting holes, the Lyman Bleacher features exact .388-diameter holes that grip .223 cases securely without binding. The stepped design allows cases to stand at optimal height for powder funnel access while preventing accidental spills. Machined from solid aluminum stock rather than cast material, this block maintains dimensional accuracy through thousands of loading cycles.
Key Features
- Precision-machined .388" diameter holes sized specifically for .223 Remington cases
