Description
Anyone who runs batches of rifle brass knows a flimsy plastic tray can tip and send cases rolling across the bench. This Hornady Aluminum Reloading Block solves that with a solid, machined base that stays put while you prime, charge, and seat. It's cut from 6061-T6 aluminum and wears Hornady's signature red finish, so it brings some real weight and a clean look to your loading station.
The block holds up to 100 cases in precision-cut holes that keep each piece of brass standing straight. That makes it simple to glance down the rows during charging to catch a double charge or a missed one, which is exactly the kind of check that matters when you're loading for accuracy. The hole sizing is dialed in for the 30-06, .308, and Creedmoor case families, so if you're working popular rifle rounds built on those head sizes, your brass drops in with a proper fit instead of flopping around in oversized pockets.
Why the Hornady Aluminum Reloading Block Earns Bench Space
Beyond holding cases, there's a dedicated sloped tray area built into the block for staging bullets. Keeping projectiles corralled right next to your brass cuts down on reaching and fumbling mid-session, and it keeps everything from scattering when you bump the bench. The corrosion-resistant finish wipes down easily and shrugs off the occasional spilled lube or powder.
Built to Hornady Reloading Standards
Hornady builds this to the same standards as the rest of their reloading gear, meaning it's made to last through years of use rather than crack or warp like budget trays eventually do. If you reload in volume or just want a tray that feels as serious as the rest of your setup, this is a buy-it-once piece that pulls its weight at the bench for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges fit the Hornady Aluminum Reloading Block?
The holes are sized for the 30-06, .308, and Creedmoor case families. That covers a lot of popular bolt-action and hunting rounds built on those head sizes, so your brass drops in snug and stands upright. Cases outside those families may not fit the precision-cut holes properly.
How many cases does the block hold?
It holds up to 100 cases at once, which makes it great for working through larger batches without stopping to reset. Having all 100 standing in neat rows also makes it easy to visually check powder levels before seating bullets.
Is this block made of metal or plastic?
It's machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized in Hornady red. That gives it real weight and stability, so it won't flex, tip, or crack the way lighter plastic trays tend to over time.
Does the Hornady Aluminum Reloading Block have a spot for bullets?
Yes. There's a dedicated sloped tray area built into the block for staging bullets. It keeps your projectiles right next to your brass so you're not reaching across the bench or chasing loose bullets mid-session.
