What size spring are you guys using for large cases (45acp, etc)? My 13 mm (1/2" brake line protector) works well for the bullets.... but not the brass
Do I just need to order the double alpha one?

Little update on my progress....
Using KC10Kevin's Mounts.... I modified it a little bit to fit my 3/4" black pipe ceiling mount. I left my square tube long, but once I have everything mocked up, I will cut it down to actual length...
Don't mind my mess, It's a work in progress....

hey all just thought i would post some pics
this is my app press setup i know i kneed to do some wiring cleanup but a work in progress :)
Attachment 280158
this is the loadmaster setup
have run about 4k 9mm through this set up already :Fire:

this is the l&l ap i had the hornady bullet feeder hooked up but this one works far better not near as finicky
Attachment 280160
also not sure about anyone else i have been trying to print the slides for the ap press with the rafts but on the chiron printer i have found that a brim with supports touching build plate works far better for me had 2 successes for 12 trys with the raft have had the last to this way work well
just an option if the other way is not working for you
Has anyone developed a mount for a mirror over the case feeder to print?
I couldn't get the APP slide printed with the raft and ended up doing a support. Worried with a brim I'd break it when yanking it off. Also. I printed the 9mm slide and feel like its too tall for my lyman 356402. Are there different height slides?
I printed with a very thin brim broke off easily and a little 400 grit sandpaper later smooth :)
I got your package today. I am not sure what I was thinking on the 9mm slide. At some point I changed it from 12mm to 17mm. Way too high. I just set it at 13.5mm and will test with those 9mmHP's you sent. Can you tell me what all the other ones are. One looks like a 300BO. I also made a few tweaks to the 45-70 die based on what you sent.
lets see i sent 45-70 sized and powder coated and unsized raw
9mm round nose 124gn and 124gn hollow point
the others are a 160gn 300bo/30cal/308/30-06 bullet and a 230gn subsonic for 300bo
think i listed them all??
thanks tyler
Just re-printed the new 9mm bullet slide at 13.5mm and it works perfect for the 9mm hp's you sent me, which measure right about 13.95mm high. Next I am going to do some testing on the "160gn 300bo/30cal/308/30-06" boolit. This one is great cause I can test multiple dies with it.
fyi I did post a new version number v1.4.4
Oh I also added .2mm to the dia of the 45-70 feed die.
For those that have printed the Hornady LNL case feeder and are looking for a way to hook up a case collator, This is a your solution. This will accept the Dillon case feed adapters for you to easily adapt to multiple calipers.
In the contributors folder there are dillon case feeder adapters that access a spring directly in the top.
