View Full Version : Star bullet feeder problem

The bullet feeder gets caught once in a while and the transfer shuttle plate slips off the roll pin. It gums up the works pretty good.
There are no obstructions that I can find.
I am thinking I will need a tighter fitting drop tube and transfer bar. (Currently a .40 tube and bar with 9mm boolits.)

Any other thoughts?

Thanks.

the bars are size specific,one large one medium and one small.
i have even modified them as far as thickness goes for different applications.
in the meantime you might be able to turn the tube on an angle to catch the top boolit from hanging up and tipping causing the jam.
if the boolits are small enough you might get away with turning it around and lifting it up a bit to swipe the boolit from the top of the firrst.
and with a kind of quick jerking motion on the up stroke make it happen.
kind of like throwing the boolit in the hole, with the transfer bar.
