That's not a loading block

[swampratt]

Someone here wanted a large loading block...
That thing sucked to make ..I kept thinking of the Crock saying That's not a knife..Now that's a knife..

Well she is finished and i named her BIG BANG...
Just thought i would share this one off block with you guys and gals.
Do not know if he will show up and get it ....but i made it just the same.

you need a line boring machine!! I have one that will punch 10 at a time. You could punch one of those out in about 10 minutes and have them all be perfectly straight. Nice Work though!!

Man that would be nice to have for sure..Hard to keep straight in Hard wood..the bit etc will flex and follow the hard grain in the wood.
That oak is hard..pine is a non issue

That oak is hard..pine is a non issue.

But the issue would be that my bits are custom sized..Would suck to make 10 bits all the same exact size and face shape..
As i am using store bought drill bits and modifying them to the diameter i need..

Swampratt's photographic skills, while good, are nowhere near as as good as his loading blocks. The ones I got from him are the nicest I have ever seen, and I've been to several calf ropings and three county fairs.

As for the "Big Bang," the customer is always right, but I would like to see this block in practical use. My reservation is that I don't like to have that many units open at any stage of the reloading process. 50 is plenty, and sometimes for me, more than plenty.

On an unrelated/related topic, there is a movie which has been on cable several times recently entitled "The Big Bang." Not for the kids, but if you dabble in physics and like "private eyes," you have to see this one. It does deserve its "R" rating.

I agree with Critical Bass, my new swamprat loading blocks are great. They are just the right size. I don't have enough room on my bench for the Big Bang. In fact I don't have any level spots left in my garage.

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL LOADING BLOCKS!
Somebody had a huge loading bench.

Maverick1911 got the BIG BANG
Maybe he will show us a pic with it fully loaded...That would be some eye candy..
Wife sold it to him as i was with oneof79 at CVS selling him some blocks and missed meeting Maverick1911....

Thanks guys for the good words..this keeps me out of the bars...HA

BTW big bang theory is a great show
