Now there's an idea......giant 3d printers to print trebuckets to send to the Ukraine to clobber Russia with.Oh No..my defenses are now being battered by trebuchets

Looks like it's running pretty smoothly...even with the .223 wiggle
I have visions of stubby .45ACP cases dropping like sacks of rice
Yes, they'll fall and stay planted in placeNot sure I know what you mean. IME they feed way easier than .223.

One of the reasons I ordered mine in .45ACP, didn't have to worry about the tilting of the taller .38Spl cases
Looks good to me. That last one fall off because the bullet column was getting short and not enough weigh the get it to stick in the case a bit?
I haven’t had any time to play with it but I’ve thought about (even ordered a set of) window seating dies and just having a device that drops one in each cycle, not unlike the case feed. Would eliminate the tipping problem and free up a station.
Okay, I get it....dense enough to test with the wrong shell plate is dense enough to not get your meaning. Testing with the right shell plate and expanding ALL the test cases with my RCBS "M" die made a big difference. Sorry John Lee for the acid reflux I caused. Much better. jmorris wouldn't have done that!
I don't see a primer tray in that vid.
Are you pre-priming?
If so, why?
...or just "testing", not really loading.

Thank you, very slick setup.
I didn't realize that you could run the tube coming out of the collator at an angle to the proximity switch. For some reason I thought the cases needed a straight drop down to the stack. I had visions of incrementally adjusting the collators support to get it to align "just right"
Okay, I'm back on board....it's still way easier than forcing the exact straight shot as with rigid clear tube. Short cases like 9mm, .40s&w, and .45 ACP fall almost as easy as bullets do.
.I hope Lee really does offer an "M" expander like they're hinting about.[/QUOTE said:
Quotes not working on my phone— sorry for the confusion.
So, these are “M” type? And is the kit with spacers needed or just the expander itself— to fit in a Lee die? Was little info on the NOE site.
Very curious!
I see that now!Yes they are "M" types. Everything's listed for sale, even the Lee dies..... The info is there...you just missed it.
Go to ------ Home/Shop/Powder Through Expanders/Parts/Page 2 and you'll find the dies, and spacers, and lists expanders again.
Night Owl Moulds didn't just hint about it. They simply put them out there

Just got an email back from Al at NOE! He explained how to choose the proper P/T expander size in a caliber (go .002 over bullet size for the first number listed. The 2nd number denotes the neck tension. He said you might want to go .003 over on the first number if using a progressive with a bullet feeder. )Thanks for the heads up. I was told two days ago, but I didn't check it out until your post. I did do you some good too.....I checked out your "Precision Software" site and ordered two products to organize me. Highly recommend it....good job! I bought the labeling software and the "Precision Load Records Software". My records suck.....maybe this is the cure!
btw, I didn't know NOE came from "Night Owl" ..... E for enterprises I assume. I didn't see that on their site........good people though!
