Capsule pill tray size for “core shaker”?

[Darth-Vang]

What is the capsule pill tray for “core shaker”? Anyone knows? I need the right size for a “core shaker” for .251 bullets, .224 bullets, .308 bullets, .357 bullets. I need the right size for those caliber if anyone knows which size capsule tray to get?

There has to be someone here that knows...anybody?

I remember reading something about that here on this forum, a long time ago.
Don't remember the details.

There should be a reference to the sizes of capsules.
Most likely in millimeters.

Do you know a pharmacist? a quick question might get a quick answer.

I would search the internet for reference.

What are you talking about?

When filling capsules with medicine pharmacists use a molded tray to shake capsules so they fall standing up right into holes so they can be filled.

Several years ago someone discovered the trays also work for assembling jackets and cores in preparation to swaging them together. The trays come in sizes to make them useful for different calibers.

Darth is following up on this to speed up his production.

That's my understanding I have not bought one yet to try out. As long as the hole is bigger than the brass but small enough that the core can not fit along side of the jacket I would think it would work.

Okay. Might get one soon and see how it plays out. No one makes a core shaker anymore...
