Sorry I'm slow replying, but I've been testing my FeedNSeat in .223, and tomorrow the .308 version will be ready to test. I think the NOE ptx's will be perfectly adequate for pistol, unfortunately nobody makes
windowed seaters for pistols.....wish they did.
With the Lee 6000 they made a ledge with bolt holes on the left side of the sub shellplate, which made it simple to make the FeedNSeat idea work on them. Short video below shows how that works for the .223 rifle FeedNSeat:
Sorry for the cartridge wobble....I used the 9mm shell plate to save time, being already setup. Same with both videos.
Next video shows how it spits them out pretty efficiently, using RCBS rifle bullet feeder die, and RCBS Gold medal Seater with a window.
The plan for both .223 and .308 is to 1. Seat, 2. prime and expand neck with an "M" shelf, 3. charge with powder, 4. powder cop, 5. FeedNSeat, 6 tapercrimp.
Now, if Lee would make new
pistol seaters with above the press bullet insert windows, like several already do for rifle, I'd do the same thing with pistol, except pistol could use the powder through powder die with "M" step and could do it on any
5 station press.......that would be awesome. Of course mounting the vertical pushing part would have to be modified for each press.
