TheBlackSheep Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Has anyone tired to extend the ramp? When I am reloading .223 or .308 It seems like the little bin is full after 2 cranks. I wanted to see if I could run it in to a larger bin sitting on the table top. Does anyone have useful advice about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM262 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Buy a bigger bin. I bought one for my SDB because when I am cranking out .45ACP, the little one gets full too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Buy a bigger bin. I bought one for my SDB because when I am cranking out .45ACP, the little one gets full too quickly. Take a much larger box, and cut a notch out of the side (or cut the whole thing down shorter) so that the rounds can all dive in and party together.

TheBlackSheep Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 well I was kinda worried about them falling too far in to a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Utah Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Go to home depot and find a dryer hose. That will allow you to funnel new bullets into another container. JMTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin c Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Dillon's bins are custom made Akro Bins. All sorts of sizes are available through various vendors in hardware and container stores as well as on line. The lip that slots them into the holding bracket seems to be a universal size, so even a large container will fit onto your Dillon, provided you have enough clearance to the side and below the bin. All that being said, I've gone back to the small bin, which, at least for pistol rounds, will hold the 100 rds made as I run through a tube of primers. When I load up a new tube of primers, I do a quick inspection of the hundred rds just made, and then dump them into a cardboard box big enough to hold the day's production. That way, if I have some snag in that 100, I won't intermix the potentially bad rounds into all the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSheep Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well part of my thinking is with the tool holder on my 650 I dont like how the bin come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Ah, I think I understand your situation better. Seems like J U's suggestion would be a good way to go, then, or a big bin that stays in place until the end. But if you have 800 rounds in a big box and suddenly realize your powder measure has been empty for some time, well...

I used 550 Akro Bins on my 1050 for that reason. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
