I'm sure many have seen the YT video of the MC with the German auto drive. I'm on a quest to do something similar, but for far less money.
My initial idea involves some adjustable repeat cycle timers, a solenoid to pour lead and pneumatic cylinder for the arm. Ultimate casting speed is not a design requirement. I'm OK with slow and steady so a Saturday in the yard can result in a couple thousand bullets with hardly any effort on my part.
Hopefully this thread can become the R&D resource center for automatic Master Casters.
How would you automate a MC if you were to do it?
