    Does the bullet feeder require a separate sized for each caliber? IOW, one for 38, 9mm, 40, 45, 30, etc. If so, does anyone like Lathesmith make them?

    I'd love to buy or make a bullet collator. The ones that Magma sells are very expensive. I'd really like to get plans to make one from a member here.
    The MA Systems collator is over $1000 and also have a fairly high fail rate with short/fat 45 bullets, so I built my own. No plans but they say a photo is worth 1000 words. The key to 100% "correct" bullets is my failsafe device that culls any bullets that are inverted. The wisker switch let's nose up bullets pass and the larger base, if inverted, will trip it activating the solonoid, opening a trap door before moving on to the next step.





    I wonder if you could make a flipper for that.....tinker , tinker
    I used it on a reloading press as well, thus the base down design. For sizing I needed nose down so I machined a plastic drum with a blind hole so the base down bullet would drop in and rotate 180 deg then drop out nose down into the shuttle for my sizer.

    Click on the photo below and you can see how the cull device works. Culling 380 from 9mm but you can get the idea.

    Mr. Bullet is coming out with a nose first bullet feeder for the Star and or Balisticast lube sizers. Rick hasn't given a release date but has said he hopes for a price point of $400.00- $450.00.
