I just bought a second Mr. Bullet feeder from Mr. Crawford in Brissy. Classic shooters don't need them when they win them from the prize table.....I have already made the nose down conversion plate for it.
Hooroo.

Nice score indeed.
I need to get into doing matches to try my luck at raiding the table, i hear stories of the goodies up for grabs. The one i did years ago, it was cleared before i had my chance
BUT i got a trophy, doesn't matter that is was just cause i attended, i don't tell people that
As requested "video or it didn't happen"
Sizer with nose down collator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nKT6dPDxho
Little bitter video of the collator, at the end you can see and hear it jamming up due to lash in the gears when the projectile level gets low. When low, there is no friction to hold the plate steady. When there are flipped projectiles that rotate past the hole, it pulls the plate down, causing erratic motion. A stepper should fix this with direct drive as there will be no gearing required.

All made from "junk" the only parts i had to buy was the speed control and the 6rpm motor, i was given or had the other bits and pieces.
try one of these.

That is an option if the stepper doesn't work. Parts are already on the way.
Look like the mr bullet feeder motor
That's awesome! Good job Tazza!
Range finally open after the flood. 8' h2o. BO pistol with 1035 gold ACWW with Cu. 168gr GC & 185gr GC, 18 gr CFE BLK. Never tried the 31-165C in the BO, just the 308W. 7 yds (got to get the eyes fixed). Not too bad guessing where the POA is - reflex site battery almost dead. Anyway, pretty soft alloy pushed hard 1:8 10". Pic still won't load but 4 shot groups ~ 1" with several doubles. Now for some hogs.

Whatever!
Nice job, hand sizing was my least favorite part of casting my own. My wife looked daggers at me when i sized in front of the tv with a bench and my trusty push trough sizer. Yet she had no issue spending the money i got when i sold any projectiles, go figure?
I'd be happy with just one 1050, all my reloading gear is red, it serves me well.... Most of the time at least, till it has primer issues *shakes fist at lee 1000*
I can't complain too much, it has loaded a few hundred thousand.
The 1050 you can see is going to a friend once I make sure it works ok. It was a bargain that I couldn't let get away.
The one under the cover with the mark 7 autodrive will likely stay with me until the government takes our guns away. I love it.
Lucky friend, i never see any good deals on presses, or if i do, they are snapped up in seconds.
I'm like that with my automated master caster, i couldn't go back to casting by hand.
I wonder if they ever decided to ban ALL our guns, if they would have to buy back casting gear? They did buy back reloading dies for "banned" calibres, i bet they'd find a way to get out of it though...
lol not him. Another mate I sold a 650 to 3 weeks ago.
Fitzy was too slow on this one it was $1500.
Happy Birthday dansedgli.
Ya bloody old fart. Senior soon???
Have a bloody great day,
Hooroo.
