Reloading Tray

Description

These trays hold 50 cases each, and are broken down into sizes to accomodate a range of case heads.  An “S” in the tray size denotes “shallow”.  All our trays stack and nest together for compact storage 

Typically shorter pistol sized cartridges would drop all the way into a normal tray and be very hard to remove.   Thus, shallow “S” trays are used with shorter cartridges.   For instance a .45 ACP has essentially a 30-06 size case head, but would drop all the way into a #5 tray, and would be very hard to retrieve.  So one would want a ‘5s’ for reloading .45 ACP.

The same could said of 5.56 and 9×19: a ‘3s’ tray would be required for 9mm, or the case would drop all the way into the hole of a standard 3 tray (and be hard to retrieve).  It’s worth noting: sometimes one can get away with an S tray when loading the shorter rifle cartridges:  a ‘3s’ will work ‘ok’ with 223/5.56.   However with 308 a 5s would be bad (good chance of the 308 case tipping over and spilling powder).

Again: I use do 4s trays for 6.8 SPC,  40 S&W, and even 9×19.  However a 308 or 30-06 would tend to tip out of a ‘5s’ (not recommended to use a ‘5s’ to hold a standard rifle cartridge).

Bottom line: sometimes close is good enough.  Remember I use both 3 and 3s with 5.56/300 BLK.  The 2 gives a tight fit, but the 3 is good enough too (so I didn’t bother to make  a size 2 to sell here).   I use 4s for both 9×19,  40 S&W, & 6.8 SPC.   Or in otherwords you can typically utilize a slightly looser fit and be just fine and can sometimes get away with a shallow tray on a  shorter rifle cartridge.   One last time:  *don’t expect to use a shallow tray on the 308/7.62/243/6.5CM and larger rifle cartridges.
