Wanted: Loading Block for .603+ head diameter
Where can I purchase a loading block for big cases like .460 Weatherby, 45-70, and Nitro Express cases?
I could make one, but I thought I could buy one cheaper than my time is worth.
Thanks, Ghost

Contact the folks at Sinclair International.

I just received a few of their inexpensive wooden blocks for my 500 NE. Quality is excellent and Sinclair is a fine company to do business with.

Did a search for loading blocks on their site. Here is the link:

You can get wood or plastic for your 460.

Regards.

Holmes,
I just ordered 2 of the 1" thick blocks for the 45-70 and the 50BMG. These look like nice stuff !!
Thanks, Ghost

Midway has some. I think they're made by Frankfort Arsenal. I had to get one for my 338/378 and it's great.

Midway has nice hardwood wood ones.

If you are a DIY type, you can make them. Drill all the way through the block, with a Forsner bit. Use a marked piece of angle iron to make a fench on the drill press. Glue a piece of thin wood on the bottom. Now you have a perfectly flat bottom cylindrical hole.
