Anyone automated a lee app with a motor yet?

Thinking about trying it for bullet sizing duty.

Seems like a whole lot of work for just sizing

With plastic parts .... what could go wrong?

I would not bother to attempt this since the press is not consistent. I’ve had to many issues w/ it. It’s construction hits a price point and automation was not a factor.

I automated a Breech lock for bullet sizing.

And this is how I adapted my base down collator (used on the reloading machine) to drop the bullets nose down for sizing.

Is that an PW AutoDrive you are using?

Yes I’ve had your version in my head for years but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I made my own collator similar a few years back so that part is handled although probably needs a different plate for the 25 cal I want to set up now.

No, just a gear motor I had and some stuff I threw together.

I love Rube Goldberg machines.
A Madsen Light Machine Gun comes to mind.

I did with a wheelchair motor but I need to make a case feeder before I will use it
