Reloading Bins

[JoshIronshaft]

None of those make sense for the standard size bin I linked to earlier.

[Mush]

I made some Bin Dams for the standard Hornady bin (made by Akro). Start with sheet Aluminum 0.035 thick (measured by caliber - I forgot what thickness I bought at the home center). Now you can fill up the bin with out cases falling out the front of the bin.


Mark with a machinist scribe or razor knife. Think of a wide "T" with a bottom half and a top half. The dam will bend between the top and bottom.

Width: 3 7/8 inch
Hight: 2 1/2
top height: 1 1/2 (top part of the "T")
bottom height: 1 inch (bottom half of the "T")
right and left indent 7/16

Cut out with tin snips then cut the sharp ends at a 45 degree angle. Use 400 grit sandpaper to smooth any sharp edges.


I placed in a bench vice to bend the top part of the "T" - - using a block of wood against the top of where the aluminum sheet meets the vice and evenly pressing the top part of the "T". Press back about 3/4 of an inch.

- - Sorry for the lack of pictures. If you go to Brian Enos Forum, in the Non Dillon reloading page and search for "Make a Bin Dam" from Oct 2013 you will see the pictures.

An iTunes card makes an easy end tab that is more than adequate for brass or loaded cartridges. A crappy cell pic...
