RazorFish,
I agree with you the pressure of the cylinder on a Wyman/Hatch setup is not all you need. I would recommend not accelerating to knock bullets out like the air system.

Hatch,
Great improvement by moving the air valve closer.
Do you mind me asking which air valve you are running? Are you happy with them?

Thanks Hatch
I forgot you were looking to design a system that could be fitted to any machine and not just your PLC fitted machines.
It looks like you are making progress which is good to see.

Hatch,
Is that PLC - Relay - Solenoid - Pneumatic Cylinder ?
Are you running a solid state relay to signal the solenoid?
And is that max speed you can run? Single or DA Pneumatic Cylinder? I...

Gateway,
Why not sell in small containers and someone can open up a screw top lid, take out what they want and close the container back up? The larger container would be easier on you as far as...

Love Life,
That is exactly why I switched to testing with the glock. That, and I wanted to minimize variables. Change one thing and see if it improves. Testing with 2 different guns could be causing...

I tried loading up some freshly cast bullets
CWW alloy, sized .357, 125 RNFP, M&P Pistol
They had more residue in the barrel than I normally get. But I did notice something different, there was...

The pictures show it as brown, but it isnt nearly as brown as they show. The coating is dark black with just a slight tint of almost gold and not brown as the pictures show.

I clean my barrels often, but I don't admire them that often. I just realized Glocks have pretty awesome barrels. It is like a mirror inside, everything smooth and great. The M&P has nice ramped...

The coating looks more brown in the picture than it does in person. For this batch I didn't pour out quick enough when still tumbling so they are a little rougher than...

Trevor,
I just tried to water quench on this last batch, normally I don't water quench after coating. It does retain more hardness than not water quenching if anyone is having issues with boolits...

1.050 is the longest it can be to chamber in my CZ-75B. It is technically a 38 special bullet that works great in a 9mm if you search castboolits you will find lots of threads on using the mold for...

I also answered some of your questions in the original post. I just think it will be easier to trouble shoot if all my info in in one spot rather than spread out over 100 pages. I did forget...

I saw the video of nose down about a year ago. I asked if they were ready to ship and was told the same story. When I ordered another Mr. Bullet Feeder last month I tried to get the nose down...

I would love to get an "Accurate Mold" from Tom, for this particular mold I am trying to find a round nose profile, Tom needs a flat meplat on his designs. I do like how he offers bullets without...

I am late to the party,
Can you de-rim 22LR brass with this setup? Or do you think it would take more power?
Another question, what horse power motor are you running?
Thanks,

I just wanted to bump this up to the top for the last time for anyone that has been busy and didn't see it.
The offer ends today, it has been said many times that this is a great deal.

If that is the case then may I offer a suggestion? I would add a second switch near the middle or bottom of the drop tube for cases and bullets to tell the PLC to keep turning. If you use the top...
