Mush from PA. Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) 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. Width: 3 7/8 inch Hight: 2 1/2 top height: 1 1/2 bottom height: 1 inch 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. The picture shows how far to push, do not put two sheets in to bend. One at a time. Edited October 10, 2013 by Mush from PA.

Alan550 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 For those of us who aren't inclined mechanically, UniqueTek sells the same thing for $4.95 in the Vendor's forum on here. FYI Alan~^~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 If you want to go really low buck (free) you can stick primer box covers in the slots. Like at the bottom of this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mush from PA. Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I like the primer box cardboard. Inexpensive and creative. Duck Tape has a million uses. I do not have access to poly but that would be great. I do not wish to take from anyone's sales of the bin dam. I do like to make stuff myself....
