gnappi Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'm loading a long, L-O-N-G time, I have a couple of little bits I genned up to make it a tad easier. The coffee container is useful as a small batch "tumbler" of sorts when I don't want to take the big Dillon rotary case separator down. All I needed was a stainless dog bowl from the thrift store, a 1/4" drill bit, and a dremel sanding drum to deburr it. The Star lubrisizer plate I drew up and had a local machinist make it for me. One for 9mm/super, one for .40/10mm, one for .45 calibers. With powder coating I no longer needed left side access screw to purge wax lube and the three sizers take less space. The Acro bins are mounted to a cheap "L" bracket bought at the local Lowes or Home Depot for about $4.00 instead of nearly $50 for the Acro part. Easy access shell holder storage from smallest to largest. I used to make my speed loader holders from an oak plank before I discovered 5 star holders. Not cheap but they work I'd like to see your ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustygun Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Creativity is part of the fun of reloading. I also repurpose things. I use a wire basket my wife had in the kitchen to display/hold fruit as the media separator. I use a cheap plastic tub to hold the wire basket and collect the media when I shake it out of the cases. my bullet tray is the plastic top of a coffee can. I needed something with low sides to keep the Bullets in place but I did not want to have to reach down into a tub to get a bullet. Put a mirror the wife no longer uses above the case feeder so I can see how much brass is in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
