Thanks.

So looks like a load that should work for the Cheddite Hulls for Blue dot would be 44g and a WAA12r wad, using the Fiocchi data from the 4th edition book.

I may try some Blue dot after I use this HS-6 up.

I have the Lee molds, I want to shoot the Lyman 525g slug though as I like it better. :)

I have about 3 pounds of it I want to use up. I also have the Lyman 5th edition book but of course didnt see any hs-6 loads as you pointed out. I have used HS-6 with the Lee slug in the past which...

Anyone else have any Similar data?

Very nice and simple, I like it!

Thanks, thats what I was thinking. Anyone else have any Similar data?

I have the MP mold wad https://www.mp-molds.com/e-shop/molds/shot-gun-molds/mp-12ga-525-wad-slug clone of the Lyman 525g slug mold. I cant seem to find any load data for this slug and Cheddite or...

Thanks guys, it is working very well now.

I bought the same motor igolfat8 did and after some reworking and making new parts, and a fresh powdercoat of the frame it is now done. This motor is a lot larger than the other one I was using and...

Most of them do not have output torque on the label but the one you bought, and the one I linked above does, but it does not match with the math that the site above says used to calculate the torque...

Thanks for that site. The only thing that throws a wrench in it is the label on the gearbox of the 1/4 hp says 485in pounds which is 40 foot pounds of torque.
...

Which leads back to my question which one of the two Motors would have more torque?

I was thinking the 1/4hp since the rpm was higher and the gear ratio higher LOL, thats why I asked in the forum.

The 1/4hp would be running at 57RPM and the 1/2hp would be 70rpm so neither one...

What do you think would have more torque/power to push thru. A 1/4HP 1725 RPM motor geared 30:1 or a 1/2HP 1410 RPM motor geared 20:1?

Tried sizing about 20 minutes after baking.

Looking at the plate on my motor, I didnt notice it is only .12 HP or .09KW so its not even 1/4 HP. I may try the motor igolfat8 posted above that he bought, It isa 1/4 HP at 1725 RPM. Not sure how...

Tried that, didnt help.

Yea, thats the same thing I meant. I dont think it will have enough stroke. I guess im going to have to look for a different motor and rebuild.

Anyone have a guess on how many foot pounds it takes...

So you mean move the bolt that goes into the arm closer to the center of the shaft?

Some disappointing news, I tried sizing some .45 230g powdercoated bullets today for the first time and the machine doesnt have the power to push them thru. They were roughly .455/.456 so I used a...

I also use that VFD and it seems to be working fine.

So finally got the bugs worked out and my Bulletfeeder hooked up. Man this is going to be so nice not having to pull the handle anymore. Amazing how lazy we get huh, when I first built the sizer and...

Here are pictures of the motor and gearbox plate.

The linkage has a Heim joint on each end which has a sort of bearing in it, not ball bearing though. It will probably last me a long time, if they...

Thanks! and thanks again for the motor/gearbox info.
