So how to make bullet chute for upside down press sizing?

[Walter Laich]

I've seen several have these but so far I'm 0 for 5

any hints, or ideas, angles or thoughts will be appreciated

thanks

If you're using Lee dies it's easy. Do like I do with my press and use a length of rubber hose that will snugly slip over the die and run it into a bucket on the floor.
A couple bucks worth of rubber tubing and a bucket. About as simple as you can get.

I just took a piece of plastic and had it slide in a steel track.

Another member fabricated this drop in chute.

I just assumed you ment into the die, a hose would be the ticket comming out of the die.

I think this is the video that was the inspiration.

Ohh, you want a chute for feeding. My bad.

Hope it works out but looks like it would be easy to size one off center if she goes in a little crooked.

Trial and error is the method I used. I cut a piece of 1/2" cpvc with a 45 degree or longer angle on the end and held it in place to get the proper drop. The ram must be in the down position to stop the boolit. If the press is not somehow automated, I'd just drop it straight into the die.

[OS OK]

I was thinking of something along these lines here...one hand rests on the edge of the feed tray and just rolls the boolits around and drops them into the hole in the corner. This would reduce time in grabbing the boolit from the boolit bin and transferring it over to the tube. Keep a supply in the unsized bin and go for it. I didn't draw the air switch or air lines...I'm thinking like the other fella did for the controls.

yep, that's the one. guess I need to sit down when I have plenty of time and work on it. Did notice the ram is what is blocking the bullet not the bullet-specific shaft from the resizing kit (can't think of correct names this a.m.)

Like OS OK's idea of tray. Right now press is mounted so the sizing die is right at hand level but always willing to find an easier way to do things.

let you know how this works out

thanks to all for their ideas and input even NoAngels whose reply showed me I wasn't clear in my question
