This is what happens when work slows down....I get to tinkering again.
Because the RCBS Pro 2000 has a lot going on on the left side of the press, the company hasn't offered a case feeder. Cases, bullets, primers all feed there, and finished rounds eject there as well. The APS primer system is the straw the broke the proverbial camel's back, it was just flat in the way. But I agree with RCBS....APS is worth it, and a bullet feeder...I have.
Anyway, I don't really need a case feeder, but hey....they told me no.... That just means a challenge to conquer. The first thing I realized is that there is no straight line available to feed anything. So I had to make a curved ramp and an articulated push stick. Think two coupled train cars. (picture below)
Anyway the way to to shell plate is figured out....more later...maybe...
I like the ease of inserting the cases already...even manual. (reminds me of the $28 Bullet feeder) BTW, yes the finished rounds still make it fine to the out bin.
