Vandalia Reloading Block

The Vandalia Reloading Block is solid, beautiful, and intuitively designed for your bench. This hand-finished 50 round reloading block adds natural warmth whether you have a cluttered reloading station or a tidy, professional workspace. Carved from a single piece of premium American walnut, the block combines precision-drilled cartridge pockets with a shallow bullet tray and comfortable scalloped sides that both improve handling and its organic, flowing aesthetic. The result is a practical, durable accessory that looks as good on display as it performs during a long day of loading.

Key features

• Precision pockets: Fifty uniform, cleanly routed and chamfered case-head specific pockets keep cases standing upright and separated for safe, efficient reloading and inspection.

• Pass through holes: Each case pocket has a chamfered pass-through hole going through the bottom of the block to both ensure nothing contacts the primer surface of an inserted case, as well as allow any dropped powder grains or debris to pass through.

• Integrated tray: A recessed rectangular tray holds loose bullets so everything you need stays within reach.

• Handcrafted hardwood: Shown in rich walnut with a smooth, satin finish that brings out the grain. Also available in hard maple (for a bright, tight-grain look) and cherry (for warm, deepening color over time).

• Non-slip feet: To ensure the block stays in one place, the bottom of the block is precision-pocketed for four silicon-rubber feet inserts; not cheap adhesive footpads.

• Ergonomic design: Scalloped side profile for a secure grip when moving the block on the bench; low profile keeps it stable during use.

• Clearly marked: Each block has the case-head size clearly engraved into the top of the block to eliminate any confusion about what size the block is designed for.

• Durable finish: Treated with our protective, reloading-safe Appalachian Elbow Grease wax finish that’s easy to maintain. A solvent resistant coating is available for an additional fee.

Why you’ll want one

This reloading block was designed by people who reload — The case-head specific pockets hold rounds securely, reduces the chance of primer contact, and keeps delicate parts away from hard surfaces. The natural hardwood construction means it won’t chip or deform like plastic blocks can, and the warm, handcrafted aesthetic elevates any bench or gun room.

Care & customization

Wipe clean with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Periodic application of our Appalachian Elbow Grease will maintain the finish and deepen the wood’s natural patina.

Bring order and craftsmanship to your reloading routine — choose walnut for contrast and character, maple for a clean, classic look, or cherry for a warm, aging finish.
