This product is inexpensive and can simplify your case preparation and loading. The Lyman Bleacher Blocks are a cleverly designed product that we recommend. These multi-level (or stepped) cartridge holders make it easy to choose a case/cartridge from a block. Each row has a different height to make it easier. Bleacher Blocks make it easier to check powder levels or place bullets prior to seating.
Lyman’s Bleacher Block cartridge holders offer many advantages over single-level blocks. You can sort brass at different levels by using the different levels. You can also migrate the brass from top-to-bottom as you go through the case preparation stages. For load testing purposes, you can arrange loaded rounds on different levels to make them easily identifiable. For example, you could place V-Max loaded rounds at the top and Berger Hybrid loaded round at the bottom. Alternate rows can be used to experiment with neck tension.
Lyman Bleacher blocks are made of durable orange polymer and can be molded in three sizes. The smallest size, with 0.388?-diam hole, fits.223 Remsize case heads. The middle size, with 0.485?diam holes, fits.308 Winsize case heads. This works perfectly for 6mmBR/Dasher-sized cases. The largest Bleacher Block has 0.565′-diameter recesses to hold magnum-size cases. All three sizes of cartridge blocks can hold fifty (50), rounds. Midsouth offers a $6.37 block for any size.
Lyman says that the innovative cartridge block design allows for easier handling of cases inside and out of the loading blocks. Our stepped design makes it easy to grip a single case without having to reach into a bunch of cases like traditional loading blocks. It also leaves a smaller footprint on your bench.
