That's a neat mod to a capmaker. I would believe him about it being faster. Thanks for the post!

He recreated the Forrester auto-cap. That worked on a reloading press too. The cups fall through the punch and down to wherever the spent primers are supposed to go. Some presses do this better than others though. The Lee challenger press works well for this. It's what I use. It would be even easier to use a arbor press to do this. Speed of production is as fast as you can go until you make a mistake. Then you have to stop and clean out the die . Been there and done that a few hundred times. All in all worth doing.A production rate of six to eight hundred per hour is realistic. I only do a few hundred at a time.It gets old quickly. Now that better ways to charge the cups are being used, this is getting more interesting
