I finished the loading block I started yesterday. I'll admit 8 holes is overkill for the woods, but this one will probably be used only at the bench. As an after thought I used a 1" mortise bit to recess each bottom hole to fit my 15/16" barrels. Wish I'd done that before drilling the holes but they're fairly centered.

Looks Good!
 
I also had to make an inlet to accept the front end of the under rib on my T/C Seneca, so the loader would fully seat on the muzzle

I have to give credit to Pietro for the idea. After playing around with my new block I decided to cut a relief so the ram rod rib would fit too. Really made a difference. Now the barrels index themselves.
