Pretty self-explanatory by looking at it. The retracting sleeve holds the little 223 bullets on the stem, so you don't have to.
If you're wondering why I would bother doing this, I'm happy for you. I get an awful pain in my hand while holding these little pills on the end of the push thru stem. Larger bullets are no problem to me; just the 223.

My boolits take a ride as they get sized, zipping down the Bullet Luge TM. The folded over tab tips the bullets over as they exit the sizing die.

These are the parts. 7/32 steel rod (218), 9/16" steel disc to fit to the slot in the ram. 1/4" and 9/32" brass tubing. Springs. I tapped the very tip of the steel rod with a 1/4" die, to raise a bur. That's all that keeps the brass tube from slipping all the way off the end. The bur needed quite a bit of stoning to fit through the 2245 sizing die. It's enlightening to see how much of the threads are formed by the bur, when using dies/taps. I think it must be >90% bur what holds a screw in!
