GregJ Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Here are a few "enhancements" I came up with that I felt have helped me. Thought I would share. The first pic is a support for the case and Mr. BulletFeeder. My 1050 also has an AmmoBot, so this provides some support since the press is raised up quite a bit, and the case feeder support was not in contact with the bench. I took a ceiling fan support box from Home Depot, and cut it down. The square tubing fits right into the support arm, and the lower bolt through the support arm works nicely to provide a stop. The second pic is a piece of strapping I bent and drilled a 1/2" hole to capture the case shuttle. This keeps cases from being loaded when I am single cycling a load, trying to clear it, etc. Edited January 15, 2017 by GregJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I used hook from a black rubber bungee, and an old die to wrap it around to get the right diameter, then made a loop for the tarp ball bungee to connect. I trimmed it to get rid of the ball and the excess length. The Mr. BF die doesnt need a lot to keep it secured, so far this has worked quite well. I know this is a common trick to get more down pressure on the MBF, but I have seen many different ways of securing the rubber band, thought I would share another way.

GregJ Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 This is a metal plate I made to set a pan on top of at the rear of the press. A lot of powder and the occasional primer finds it way back there, and I wanted to keep it off of the AB motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregJ Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I made a bunch of primer tubes from alum tubing that is available from McMaster-Carr. The second pic shows a lip I put on so that the tube fits into the primer magazine cap. Here is the info on the tubes for small and large primers. I have used these tubes on my LNL for a few years, and they work great. 89965K188 Multipurpose Aluminum Tubing, 5/16" OD, .183" ID, .065" Wall Thick, 3' Length 89965K472 Multipurpose Aluminum Tubing, 5/16" OD, .215" ID, .049" Wall Thickness, 3' Length Edited January 15, 2017 by GregJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichJacot Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Very Nice! I especially like the strap that keeps a case from being loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWFAN Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I also like that strap mod. Very nice.Zoro and Grainger both carry the Aluminum tube. Zoro shipped was cheaper than Grainger picked up locally when I was researching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
