RCBS Case Kicker

[dsh1106]

Can anyone who has one of these give me the measurements for the bracket/ramp side?

I have the "Kicker" side, but cant find the other side.

Actually, that looks like the catcher side. The lip and tray hold a green bin to catch the cases that come down the chute on the right. That piece mounts to the front of the table to the left of the press. The kicker piece is a metal plate with a piece of spring steel attached that contacts the ram.

It's an easy part to build. Works great.

Yes, the ramp/catcher side is what I need dimensions on. I have the KICKER side.

i have one of these in a box someplace . . . i'll dig it out and measure it up and post whatever i find out.

might take me a bit as i'm in the middle of some way too good scotch :happy dance:.

Thanks Jimmy !

ok . . . got lucky and it was right on top of a bunch of other stuff i've forgotten about.

i've never installed/used it so i'm totally unfamiliar with the particulars.

looks like there are five major parts:

1 - ejector base
2 - ejector spring
3 - catcher base
4 - ammo catcher box
5 - primer deflector
plus a few bits of hardware

i think you want the dimensions for #1 but it's a goofy shaped hunk of metal with some angled bends and hard to measure (i'm not a machinist/engineer so if it ain't square i panic).

here's some photos:

let me know if this is the right part and i'll do my best to get you some useful numbers . . . or let me know if you're looking for some other piece and we'll go from there.

PM is probably easiest.

if you know of a faster way to post files please let me know!

the primer deflector "tang" is 2 1/16in long and 1/4in wide. the "gap" in the square bend is 3/8in.

if you need anything more just shout.

AWESOME !!!

Can I get one more dimension? If you look at my original post, on the pic I posted, what's the dimension from the base to the corner of where the ramp starts. I added arrows where.
Thanks JTD

where your arrows are, from the bottom of the piece to the under-side of the "ramp" is 3 3/16in.

add in the radius of the bend and then the thickness of the metal and that makes the top of the ramp 3 1/4in. from the bottom of the piece.

left of your arrows, and left of the first hole you come to, there is a 1/8in. "rise" from the top of the piece to the edge of the "ramp". if it helps any, the amount of metal under the ramp, from the front edge (where your arrows are) to the "rise", is about 15/16in. . . it's hard to see so i'll post a better pic:

i'm a broke ol' bastard so, after seeing the price on e-bay, i'm gonna post it there and try to take advantage of the current bidders . . . somebody once said something about striking while the iron was hot . . . i might give that a try this time around.

if ya need any other details just say the word.
