Loading Block — Colour-Coded Stackable Reloading Tray
Know the bore by the colour. Every time.
The Forward Point Colour-Coded Loading Block is the same precision 3D-printed reloading tray as our standard block, with one difference that matters on a busy bench: each bore size has its own dedicated colour. Reach into the cupboard, see green, and you already know it is the 16 mm block — no squinting at pockets, no test-fitting a case.
Every block shares an identical 210 × 115 mm footprint and stacking interface, so the four sizes stack squarely on top of one another. Charged cases stay upright and visible in a 13 mm straight bore, so you can read powder levels straight down the row and spot a double charge or a missed charge at a glance.
