After watching your video and putting more thought in to it, I am going to increase the body length of the rifle dies 25mm. I will also lower the spring clips some so larger springs can be used. Time to look at other springs again I guess. lol
Something like this:

Maybe a second die nut on top of the one that doesn't have to tighten against the press.....so you can adjust the die where you want it without the nut's rotation or position being a factor. The second nut can then adjust up or down to fit many spring lengths.
Well I posted a new version of 1.4.0. I changed the rifle dies and added a lock ring with spring clips. I did not change the name of the 7mm die cause that would mess with o416's stuff, but I did open the inside up to 7.3mm.
Hi Tyler,
Any plans to develop a .44 bullet feeder (.43 dia)? Not sure if .45 die body can be used with a new insert for .43...
This is what comes in the kit for about $10.00.

Check this source....price is right.....think I'll order some too. (just posted seconds after Thumper.....same source it appears.;))
I've started printing small parts with a resin printer... What a difference in terms of quality and speed, as I can print multiple parts at once and duration depends only on the tallest part... Especially worked great with feeding dies... 600 of 9mm loaded, no issues so far...
It says 3 hours 33 minutes.
If I don’t pass out on the couch you’ll have an update tonight.
Spent all day getting this thing fine tuned in -18c (0F) weather.

So, die grabs the .43 bullets, no problem. However, the case diameter is too small to push the insert unless the case mouth is flared quite an exaggerated amount...
The case on the left and centre will slip into the insert, the case on the right will push the insert to drop a bullet...

Longer die body and new nut a success.
Now using 2nd set of holes from top.

Hi Tyler, I wanted to print the base down brass slide plate and noticed the STL file places the part with a 0.1deg rotated on the Y axis as it appears in the slicing software; just FYI...

I'm unable to run the PartsGenerator.jar on a Mac. Decompiling it and looking at the source code there are quite a few places where file names/paths are being constructed with hardcoded string `\` as the path separator instead of using something like `java.io.File.separator`. This won't work on anything but Windows.
Is the source code in a repo somewhere so I can fix it?
