Reloading trays

Why use a reloading tray

When you are weighing powder into your cases, you want them standing stable. One that tips over means a wasted charge and a mess on your bench. A reloading tray keeps your cases neatly upright in rows, so you can see exactly which ones are filled and which are not. It sounds like a detail, but it is the difference between organised work and chaos. Especially when you are doing batches of 50 or 100.

Reloading trays are also useful during load development. You can use rows for different powder charges, so at the range you know exactly which cartridges have which load. No confusion, no guesswork.

Derraco reloading trays

The Derraco 50 reloading tray is machined from aluminium, solid, and holds 50 cases. Good size for a standard reloading session. Need more capacity? The Derraco 200 holds 200 cases. Useful when processing larger batches in one go or when you want to run multiple steps without moving cases around.

Frankford Arsenal reloading trays

Frankford Arsenal offers reloading trays in three variants. The universal reloading tray fits multiple calibres and is a solid all rounder. The calibre specific trays for .308 footprint and .223R footprint give a tighter fit for your cases. That makes for more stable work, less chance of one wobbling or tipping over. The .308 footprint also fits calibres like .243 Win, .260 Rem and 7mm-08.

Which one do you need?

If you reload one calibre and do no more than 50 cases per session, the Derraco 50 tray or a Frankford calibre specific tray is all you need. If you work with multiple calibres or larger quantities, the universal Frankford tray or the Derraco 200 is more practical. Not a big investment, but it makes your reloading process a lot more manageable.
