The styrofoam trays 45ACP come in make great reloading blocks for the 30-06/308 family of cartridges.

If your loading 22 cal plastic tip bullets (i.e. V-max). Try chamfering with the bullet shaped grinding wheel in the dremel accessory kit. The steeper angle will enable you to get the bullet to stand up straight by it's self throught the seating process. If it goes in the die at too steep of an angle, the tip gets wedged between the seater plug and the wall of the die and breaks off.
CAUTION: THE BRASS WILL GET HOT!!!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT WITH PRIMED BRASS!!!!
