Tinkering project

Haven't been able to fine tune that .36 yet but hope to this weekend. In anticipation of shooting it a lot, I decided a couple of loading blocks would be a good idea. I had some scrap black walnut and a friend gave me some slabs of Osage. A new 3/8 brad point drill bit and walla!

Nice loading blocks, I might have to build a couple for my .54.

Thanks , I precut my own patches, and in instances where you have to shoot out of yer bag, they are very handy IMO.
Have been using them on my .50 and .45 as well.
