HORNADY · 480040 · 50 CASES
Fill, check and guide cases in order through the loading process
The double-sided Universal Loading Block holds up to 50 cases. Different drillings cover many common head and body diameters from .223 to magnum calibers.
Purchase check: universal doesn’t mean unlimited


Honest assessment
The block creates order and makes visual powder level control easier. However, it neither measures powder quantity nor case size. Special and large calibers must be checked for fit before purchase.

you want to process up to 50 cases in a fixed order
you use different common case families with one block
you want to visually check powder levels row by row



Less suitable if …
you expect guaranteed fit for every special caliber
you want to replace scale, gauge or powder filler
you organize several powder types simultaneously on the workbench

Frequently asked questions
How many cases fit in the block? Up to 50 pieces. Does every caliber really fit? No, special and large calibers must be checked for bore diameter and stability. Can the block weigh powder? No, it is only used for orderly storage. Is a powder filler included? No. Why is the order important? It makes it easier to check which cases have already been filled or checked.


Black-Raptor conclusion An inexpensive organizer for many common cases – especially useful with consistent order and visual inspection, but neither a measuring device nor a universal fit guarantee.
