bigboy69 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Has anyone here made one? I have seen them on YouTube and I have the Lee parts. I was looking to see if anyone here did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Never made one for either of my LNL's but did throw one together for an SD once. Just 1" box tube an a hunk of plastic for the slider. Edited November 26, 2014 by jmorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewbeck Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I use the Hornady bullet feeder die and the 4 tube case feeder turret from lee to feed the bullets it works awesome so all I have to do is feed cases manually. I have an extra set of tubes with collater for the case feeder and all the Hornady slide parts I just haven't made time to fab up the drop plate and mechanism to make it work yet. This is mostly because I done think it will be much faster and right now I can watch everything as I blindly grab cases out of the bucket and put them in. If you don't have the bullet feeder yet, do it! It's about 35 bucks for the die and tubes off amazon and will double productivity from manually feeding the bullet and case Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmorris Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) With a mill, lathe, saw and TIG welder. It was just a proof of concept I made after a thread on the subject concluded that it couldn't be done. This is the thread I posted on it back in '10.http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=114052&hl=%2Bsd+%2Bcase+%2Bfeed#entry1294516 Edited November 30, 2014 by jmorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy69 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 I didn't make one. I was looking to see if someone would make one and sell it to me. The bullet feeder sounds good. I have all the Lee parts to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I don't understand, if you want to buy one from someone and bolt it on, why not buy the one Hornady sells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy69 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 The Hornady is over 300 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 "One day I devised myself a plan That should be the envy of most any man I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand" From the Johnny Cash song, "One Piece at a Time" about a Cadillac made from 15 years of stolen parts. $300 ain't nut tin' in this hobby.

jmorris Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) The Hornady is over 300 bucksYeah that s part of the false economy of the LNL. The base machine is cheaper but the collator and case feed are more than the 650.I can promise you that it would cost a lot more that $300 to have someone build you one. Many things that are much less complicated cost more than that if you only want 1. I understand wanting to save money or just want to learn something. What equipment do you have to build it with? For the collator I used a lathe, mill, sheet metal shear, slip roll, TIG welder, bandsaw, sander, drills and taps and various other hand tools. Once you get that part working you can move on to the device that actually feeds the cases from the tube into the shell plate, that s the easy part. If you wanted it to look "high speed low drag" like a factory unit you would also need an injection molding machine and a CNC to make the dies.

Allenmat Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Slightly old thread, but I do have a case feeder made out of Lee parts. Copied the design off of Youtube videos. Easy to make and works great. Holds 100 cases so it works out perfect with primers. Here are some pics Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynnm45 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Great stuff! There's a fella over on SASSNET that has "manufactured an adapter" that will allow you to set up the "Lee case feeder" on a Dillon 650. He calls it the DilLee case feeder. If you're like a lot of Dillon 650 users that started out with a LLM, you know the parts involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
