Bullet feeder for the LCT?

[horsemen61]

Alright guys I am wanting to know do they make a bullet feeder for the lee classic turret press the reason I ask is because I would like a system that I could just have a bullet drop in my hand so I could place it on their to be seated

No, they don't. I can't think anyone would ever buy such a thing. It just isn't that hard to pick one up out of the box.

They make bullet feeders for Pro1000s and Loadmasters but they set the bullet in the case and you don't touch them. That is if you can get them work right.

Never heard of a bullet "dispenser" and wouldn't ever take a second look at one if someone did build one and offer it for sale.

That would be the epitome of laziness. If you are trying to load that fast on a LCT maybe it's time for an auto-progressive. An auto-progressive will free up three quarters of your reloading time from what it take you to run that LCT.

I'm not making fun of your press, I thought many times of buying a LCT myself, but I just can't imagine after running auto-progressives for over 30yrs why I would want to buy a bullet dispenser for a slower press instead of putting that money towards a more efficient one.

Well tight group maybe I can't afford a progressive press and maybe just maybe instead of being lazy I am trying to maximize my efficacy so I can work more smoothly and be more productive with what I had I apologize to you for the fact that I haven't owned a progressive press for 30 years now I was always taught you take what you have and make it work not go out and buy what you can't afford just because it is quicker

Google around for the hornady bullet feeder, and similar designs. May be a possibility to rig up something similar that "drops a bullet from the top via a tube". I'm pretty sure there are some threads on this forum about it. Some are very inexpensive as well!!

We all take questions from our own viewpoints and associated assumptions: I tend to take that into consideration when participating in a public forum. Some of us suffer from various ailments, so mechanical improvements/aids in reloading are a God-send, nothing lazy about it...

Any bullet feeder should work. I built one for my LCT. The way I use it is I have it dispense the cases to fall between the left mounting hole and the L in Lee. It makes for a very quick loading the case into the shell holder. Sense every case is already at the same place with the primer end down EVERYTIME there is no fumbling around to orientate the case before placing it in the shell holder. With that addition and the kicker I made to eject the finished round I have loaded 300 rounds in an hour without abusing the press. For me it really sped up the process.

I used it for the inspiration for my bullet feeder. Works great.

I don't guess anyone is reading your post. No one that I know of makes something that will drop just one bullet into your hand so you can place it on the case.

I have seen people use the gravity style pet feeders to keep a bunch of brass and bullets handy though.
