That is super slick. The main malfunctions I have with mine are generally primer drawback, causing a case to not push out of the shell plate, or a case bobbling entering the shell plate. Both result...

Mine you mean? It’s just something I cobbled together. Cheap 40-250 cylinder (though I think a 32x250 with cushioning would be better). Autonics ATS11W-13 dual timer relay, 5 way 2 position solenoid...

That Summet setup would be awesome with an auto drive.

With the APP I think the key was making the linkage adjustable and setting it up so the cylinder hits its stops with a little play left in...

Cool. I hadn't seen that.

And that Summit press is super cool.

I can't seem to get photos to upload, or I'd show what the setup from Thingiverse looks like in the real world. You can kinda...

Hadn’t seen one without the 4 tubes or I’d have done that, as I run the APP with a Dillon feeder and auto drive with an air cylinder.

Sure. Basically there is a base piece, a 4 tube holder, and the snap in pieces.

Where the directions say M3 screw I think was a misprint. I used an m2.5-20 screw, washer (between the parts) and...

Wow, nice work! Do you use any sort of clutch, or is the motor small enough to stall in the event of a jamb?

Force wise, a 32mm cylinder should be able to hit 90+ pounds of thrust at reasonable...

Lee has a deal where they only charge you shipping on your first parts order. Pretty cool.

As a customer, even if it could be a warranty issue I find it way easier to select the parts I want on...

Along those lines, if you 3D print, a guy on Thingiverse made a case feeder assembly that has snap in “nozzles” I guess you’d call them, for specific calibers. They are different heights and...

Nice tip! I’ll have to try that.

Running 9mm to deprime in mine, I will sometimes have a case not get pushed out of the shell holder. This is only with brass I purchased that had been cleaned but not deprimed.

It appears to me...

Hopefully not drifting the thread too bad, but here is my setup on a Lee.

I intend to have the same setup also operate my Star, but I have several things I want...

Do you have a Dillon or other case feeder?

Some seem to be able to feed larger caliber handgun bullets, though randomly nose up or down.

If you are running powder coat or high tec and a semi...

I recently acquired some large linotype bars that wouldn't break easily with a maul...

Turns out Linotype is brittle enough that a shop press easily breaks them. They break suddenly, without...

Was thinking I might try Ramshot Enforcer. Never used it, but hear good things in magnum handgun loads.

Anyone messed with it with cast bullets in 460?

Well, by way of update I’ve shot some of the 300gr Lee bullets with Carnuba Red, gas check, #2 alloy.

Played with W296, Lil Gun, H4227

None are giving impressive accuracy.

300g XTP Mag...

That’s a great idea. I was thinking of building some sort of pid controller, but for this it doesn’t need to be that sophisticated.

That is awesome.

I’ve run a bit of the red now, and I really like it. A heater is definitely required but I wish I could back mine down just a bit. I just unplug when it gets too soft and plug back in when it gets...

I have the plain based lee 405 mold and I’ve cast some out of #2 alloy and will use Carnuba Red. I’ve found RE7 gives me best accuracy in 45-70 out of my Contender, and shoot well in my rifles as...

Gas checked?

May I ask your preferred powder?

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Like 20 tubes of carbabua red arrived today.

Nothing like having the GF see a non-descript package arrive with a return addesss of White Label Lube...

What do you run for alloy?

I tried a variety of heavier bullets, various loads and such in the SAA with a buddy’s ransom rest. The 250 rnfp didn’t shoot too bad, and kieth type, tc and most other...

Yeah.... shot several powders working up charges for the 300 grain jacketed, and although recoil seemed pretty mellow at the time, my hand has been reminding me I’m not an indestructible kid...

It’s an 8 3/8”.

.451 bullets can be pushed through the throats with some resistance, so I know the throats are slightly smaller. It shoots my regular 45 Colt load (Rimrock 250 rnfp and 8g Unique)...
