My homemade "Reloader" magazine inspired one I've showed here before......it has lasted for more than 45 years.....I have improved the insides a little since then, to improve holding the shell holders, but it isn't plastic and is pretty hard to break. One improvement is that I added epoxy inserts to keep the primer centered safe in the regular shell holders. Shell holder rests on the reducer under the cap...top of picture. Red end strikes the concrete....foam inside that bigger one protects bullet. I just unscrew the bottom below the Tee and dump the bullet and primer into a small container.The I unscrew the red cap and clean things out so powder doesn't mix.
Oh almost forgot...I also put foam under the top cap, above the shell holder to keep it from bouncing and epoxy around the shellholder to center it. Just remember to coat the shell holder in vasoline before you press in the epoxy putty in or around it. So when it dries the shellholder can fall out. Steel reinforced epoxy is what I used.
Somes like it, somes think I made a pipe bomb....don't build it if you think the latter....free country.....but that may change.....

Do you have that article from reloader magazine? I had it and now can’t find it.
