yes, for the moment, the press and its ram are still operated manually... I say again because it may well be that a version with a pneumatic cylinder will see the light of day in a few months... Wait & See

Oh, In France, the situation is very difficult for those who want to have légally a gun ... and the components are very rare and expensive...
The state is not for the honest people.
I'm sad to see my country being insane
 
Can you have military cartridges or do you have to wildcat them?

I know some European countries don't allow the population to have the same calibers as the military.

Hence the need to wildcat or obtain different calibers.
 
@Mk-211
The military cartridges are prohibited in France and the militaty weapon too ... Only the army and police have right.
In my case, i préfer revolvers and pistols and if you are authorised to have ones , you can't have overless 12.

A real shame given how big a help France was in helping our forefathers win these freedoms. You’ve got a great setup there. Very inspirational.
Très bien fait, monsieur.
 
I see you have a helper up on the shelf, what does the green man play in the reloading room, Take over when things don't go right for you? LOL!
It's seems funny for some reason to see the "Incredible Hulk" sitting on a shelf in a "charging room" in France.
I don't know why, you guys watch some of the same shows we watch, I'm sure. Just goes to show how ... "universal" people are all over the world.
We all like the same things.
I look forward to seeing how you motorize an ABLP press.
Your going to just get that press finished when you see the 6 station ABLP that Lee is trying to get to market. Look up Lee Six Pack on internet.
They are having some small problems with a casting but they have it for sale in about a month.

Looks really interesting if they get over their problems and get it to market.
 
@tightgroup tiger
I love the Hulk and more generally the Marvel and DC Comics universe since I was a teenager...It's been longer and longer Lol...
Then yes !!! We like the same things!!!

Regarding the automation of the ABLP, I put the project on hold...
For the record, I had started to think about this project following the car crash of a reloader friend... He had been injured in the arms and hands and had many after-effects...
Because of this, his psychological state gradually deteriorated and his health became worse... Some time ago, he finished suffering...
In short !!! R.I.P my friend

Since then, I have lost my motivation and prefer to take a break regarding this project...
I'll start again later... maybe in a few month.

I too am eagerly awaiting the release of the LEE Pro6000 and feedback from users.
 
To continue on a positive attitude, I present to you....

The case Feeder
A great tool very useful and a nice little teamwork...
2_copi13.jpg
Tactical printed the case Feeder entirely in PLA ...... And for my part, I wired and mounted the object then re-worked the board in order to improve it and make it work even "more" better.
I- Presentation of the Case Feeder
This "home made" dispenser is simply brilliant and works like hell.

.8) It works as well with the 9x19, the 38Sp and the 357 mag... A single plate for all these calibers
The cases all fall (without exception) in the right direction and when the pipe is full, the light sensor stops the distributor and then puts it back into service as soon as the level of the cases drops.

II- Test and Operation of the Distributor


I told you that this distributor worked like thunder. :)
 
III- LEE Case Feeder Vs Case Feeder "Home Made"
In all honesty, I'm quite happy with the LEE Case Feeder, thanks to the inserts that reduce the holes in the Case Collator the cases all fall the right way and the tube clamps give this tool some very useful rigidity. Finally, apart from the noise of the casings colliding in the case collator during filling, it makes no noise.

But, I admit that with the "Home Made" Case Feeder, we are in the upper category.

Apart from the supply of cases, everything happens on its own: A small handful of cases tossed into the bowl and the dispenser does the rest. It refuses casings that come upside down so 100% of the cases fall the right way. If I take a break, the distributor will stop by itself when the reserve (the pipe) is full.
In short !!! ... This is happiness. :cheers: :cheers:
The only small drawback is the noise of the casings being stirred in the bowl...
it's not TOP, but hey !!!... We get used to it quickly.
 
IV- Bullet Feeder and Case Feeder

A winning duo !!!
In addition to increasing the production of ammunition, these two tools provide comfort for the reloader.

V - Conclusion
To try it is to adopt it !!! This Case Feeder has already become indispensable for me. In addition I find it magnificent ... In short !!! I love it

20210817.jpg

I am thinking of adding a small mirror soon which will be located above the Feeders... I could thus check them at a glance without having to get up from the stool.
I'm also thinking of adding...another small improvement that I'll expand on a bit later.

See You Soon
