How can you put 9.5gn of 3n38 in a 9mm case without the ammo being too long? I'd tried before and the case just don't have enough space for that much of 3n38. It's compressed heavily. May be you used more crimp or undersized die, you can't achieved with the normal .380 crimp. The bullet will just pushed by the powder.

Tighter than EGW? Cuz I have the EGW and thinking to buy the Shockbottle.

I'm one of the people who'd tried all the mod but doesn't work and returned it.

Wow, you do have a bulky clamps. I preferred fixed it on the bench as the clamps gets on the way. And I also preferred cordless drill for easy handling. Just personal preference

Many thanks, but I still wonder how it works because it looks like there are only few holes there. How to prevent the brass goes in upside down?

Do you have the file for the case funnel? May I see how that works? Yes, I never have a problem of the stripping issue.

I'd chosen the manual one because any electronic device will have a life span, Other than changing a few hex bit/bolt and may be a power drill the manual one almost last forever. With the use of the DAA mini case feeder, I can do around 1000 brass in an hour. Yes, you can say I'm cheap but it gets the job done for me and I don't have to worry about the motor will burn off some day.

This is too bulky

You mean pick up one by one like a chicken eating...LOL?

My decision had been done and returned the collator. I try my best to make it works for me but I just don't have time to keep it in high maintenance. I did tried all the fixes but doesn't work for me. In the mean time I go back to my PAL Filler. It works for me 100% so far (6 years).

Nice, my PAL filler is still like new and it gives me many years of service without a single problem.

Where did u get the news from? Any link?

After a few days tested of the collator, I had observed that if you throw in only one hundred primers, it will takes forever to fill the tube. The last few primers will just keep wondering around and around. I put two hundred in and the first hundred stopped two times may be due to the speed of the primers moving pass the light. I have to stop the machine and clean the channel with alcohol then rubbing it with a silicone cloth as I don't have the dry silicone spray at the moment. The primers passing through the channel faster but at the end of the few primers again keep wondering around and around just doesn't want to fill the tube. I guess in order to get the machine working, I need to keep the bowl have at least three hundred primers at all time. If you have less, the last few primers will just wondering around. It's sorry to say, I took out my PAL filler and loaded two tubes in 10 seconds each. I'm unsure what to do yet as I lived in Canada. It'd already costed me more because of the custom tax and duty fees. If I'm going to send it back, it will be another charge for postage. Will try to use the Blaster Advanced Dry Lube with Teflon and give it a few more test before making my decision.

I found the opposite. The Dillon is useless because they tends to ream the hole bigger and they tends to fit most of the rounds even the rounds are imperfection. The EGW is the best among the three because they have the tightest spec. You should have a tighter guage than your barrel chamber but not larger. Anything pass the test(tighter guage) will fit your chamber. If it rejected most of your rounds than you should do a better job to your rounds as there must be something wrong with the rounds. However, if you are not into competition than may be it's not too important for you. Otherwise, Murphy will always find their way when most unexpected.
