It's official; Lee will be releasing an "upside down" bullet sizing press.

[Tom Myers]

Does it look like it will work with Lee's multi tube bullet feeder?

[tomme boy]

According to the instructions link I posted yes it will. Or supposed to anyway

[rototerrier]

It's official, I had to make my first upgrade to this press. On the up stroke, the ram just slams into the nuts on the top. Makes a very loud clunk. Loud enough that the wife noticed up stairs.

Added washers and orings to dampen the impact. Much quieter now.

I searched the instruction manual and could not find a reference to the Lee Bullet Feeder Multi Tube adapter. I see that it does supply 4 different sized tube diameters.
This adapter is designed to be used with the Lee Bullet Feed Die that is used on the progressive presses and my experience has been that it works quite well with the Bullet feeder.
I imagine that the APP Press feed plate would probably need to be heavily modified to work with the adapter.

[tomme boy]

I take that back. It is the universal case feed that works on it. I have both. I will be trying to see if the bullet adapter can be made to work.

How solid does it feel? Wonder how it will do if trying to size some fatty bullets.

A couple vids so far....an unboxing and assembly...

and a de-capping video fail...

It did not like those 308w cases.

[Dimner]

That decapping video....yikes... maybe I should wait longer? Bottle neck rifle cartridges is the only reason I bought this badboy. I probably would do better with a hand deprive tool

That guys primers were hanging half way out of his brass

That should not matter. It does not matter with all other shell holders

[rototerrier]

Definitely not enough leverage for brass handling. IMO this is for small caliber bullet sizing only. It's just not big enough or robust enough for anything more.

But, it's exactly what I wanted it for so I'm thrilled.

I have some shell holders made without the grove and have occasionally run into the same problem.
I am not sure what brand the ones I have are they are for a standard type rcbs Lyman Lee press.
OS OK Thanks for posting the videos.

[psychbiker]

I only want this for bulk swaging of 223/308 brass and bulk sizing of casted lead.

Decapping will be done on a 650 for me.

I'm not so sure about that... Look at the mechanical advantage that press has. You're moving the handle a very long distance while the press itself moves maybe 4 inches, tops?

I'll be loading up some 300 Win Mag ammo with it, and I'll let ya know how the resizing goes.

Julio is starting to look at sizing casts now and has some thoughts about the old Lee sizing push through dies and NOE sizers too...

I'm going to assume you've not gotten yours yet? You'll see. It's a tinker toy of a press and flexes like crazy even on a 9mm case. Wish you the best of luck. I certainly will not be doing any brass processing on mine after the testing I've done with it. I have much better tools for the job.

Here's a quick video of processing 357. My feeder can't keep up with it. 45 ACP keeps up a little better. This thing flat out flies for sizing.

Ah, I see.. darn it, I was hoping it would be useful for brass processing.

Loved your video... looks like you have the nose first adapter working great on your MBF!

[rototerrier]

Here's a test I just did with 45.

And here's me running it about as fast as I possibly can. It's pretty impressive.

Great videos... thumbs up, and a new subscriber. I also found your video on how you have your MP 9mm mold setup with the sprue plate opposite of the handles. I have that same mold, and am going to go set mine up like that today. Noticed you also were using a Lee Bullet Feeder on an LCT press... did you have to do any modifications in order to get the LBF to work with the LCT? I just got a Lee Bullet Feeder yesterday, and was going to hook it up to my son's Dillon 550 (using a plate I bought off of ePay), but might also use it to size some of the mountain of 9mm's I have waiting to be sized with the APP.

Sorry for the OT stuff, gents, but rototerrier has some pretty darn good YouTube videos.
