You see, the heavy duty springs that came on my Hornady pistol bullet feeder (from which all my pistol feeder mods originated from) handles a stack of bullets fine without distortion. The cheaper springs probably fare better not being full (This is true).
As for the case feeder....it's tradition (RCBS,Dillon, Hornady) to have a straight-in clear tube stack with a stop switch just under the collator just like my rendition with Tyler's big base pictured below! ......and that tradition is the only reason I started that way. Well, that and I like to see whats coming.....ok, that and long rifle cases don't as easily bend around a spring like short pistol cases.;)
