I kind of prefer the set screw, it keeps the shell holder from rotating. That having been said my vintage Pacific and Trueline Jr., are my only presses that use set screws.

I use bird shot in the...

Here is mine! hope it helps!

Yes! You did get a good deal! I paid a little more for mine! It's a great old school press to work with!!!

Nice work! My own version from about 7 or 8 years used a split ring/ground from the plumbing dept to achieve the same result!!!

BRAVO GENTLEMEN!!! I love to great new idea's grow and mature! Love the creativity displayed here!

Try a narrower funnel. 9mm is so short that if they bounce off the sides the can flip and log jam in the chute. 380 has the same issue? You might need a shell plate with fewer positions, if they...

Jmac2112,

I make my support column out of 3/4 inch Gray elec pvc. for the base I use iron pipe flange and a short pipe nipple to fit into the pvc. This makes a strong light weight adjustable...

LOL, I know Laine fairly well and that is just about as much as they have allowed her say for the last 3 years!!! Last year during the summer they were looking for beta-testers to work the new...

Looks good! Looking forward to the finished product!!

jmac2112, Time for some pictures!

What RPM is the motor running?

My proto-type was 1/4 inch Star-Board and it drops 9mm just fine, not so much with .380! LOL

I use 1/8 inch ABS and place a reduced dia spacer(s) of 1/8 ABS underneath to manage the proper off...

jmac2112, HOW THICK is the HDPE that you used?

BlackRat, my 1st prototype was powered by dodge blower vent motor, total over kill! If you use the correct power supply and rpm the little gearbox motors work fine. I have built feeders using vending...

I use a 1/2 router bit for .45 ACP down to 9 mm. Still 9 mm will occasionally invert in the chute due to it's short stature and light weight.

Motor gearbox selection is important, as is...

The New Pro-1000 base is being used in common with the 4-hole value turret and will most likely be the base used when Lee finally rolls out their new 4-hole progressive. It's been vapor...

TAC14, Until the cylinder gets pretty dirty the cases just fall clear on their own. I keep a short length of dowel rod handy if one fails to fall free. Kirst sells an ejector rod kit but it's pricey...

You will want to talk to SEAGIANT, he has rebuilt and restored several of these and know how to make them run almost flawlessly!!!

BODEAN74, As the conversion loads through a single slot gate moon clips will not work. The cartridge head spaces on the case mouth when loaded in the Kirst cylinder. I have never had a missfire in...

Jamezius Maximus,
The lighter was pictured for size comparison. The battery case (2 AAA) had the switch in-place. I hot glued the assembly to the primer chute underside and used a wood screw to...
