Overview
Lyman’s Bleacher Block is built for organized case handling during reloading, giving hunters and shooters a cleaner way to stage rifle brass on the bench. Its stepped layout makes individual cases easier to grasp than in a flat block, while also reducing the space needed for setup. Molded from durable polymer and sized to closely fit a variety of cases, it holds 50 rounds for efficient batch work. This is a practical bench accessory for anyone who wants a more accessible loading block without adding clutter.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for .485 cases, so fit is specific rather than universal across all rifle cartridges.
- The stepped layout improves access, but it is a different feel than a traditional flat loading block and may not suit every bench setup.
- Holds 50 rounds, which is practical for most loading tasks but may require multiple blocks for larger-volume sessions.
- Made of polymer, which keeps it lightweight and durable for bench use, but it is not a metal block option.
