RevolverJockey Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I am currently using a broken cut off Lee .40 sizer die and a push through bullet punch from the Lee bullet sizing kit as a press through sizer die. Similar to what redding is selling, except mine is made from spare worthless parts I had laying around. Works like a champ, but not exactly fast and I worry about the wear and tear on my T7.. Anyone out there tried welding up or modifying a arbor press to take through sizer dies? Thinking it may be possible and could hang over the bench and drop sized rounds out the bottow into a bucket. Not trying to short someone out there who may make one, I believe Magma makes something similar called the rimless case sizer, and case pro, although no luck finding one. I have a Tanfoglio and have to run rear perfectly strait brass to get 21 reloadable.. I am open to ideas, thanks in advance.

Guy Neill Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The Magma SizeMaster Jr is a modified arbor press. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I built an automatic bullet sizer using the same concept but I used a pneumatic ram instead. I have started a larger version with dies machined for .45 acp but before I automated it I put the project on hold as there were rumors of the case pro comming back. About time to get back to work, I guess. Edited August 12, 2009 by jmorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 J Morris. Build me one with dies for 9mm-40-45 and tell me where to send the check.... You tried putting a Dillon case feeder on the thing yet? I really like the Magna Sizemaster Jr. setup that Larry White has but it gets kinda old after the first 1000 or so you crank by hand... Yes, I am serious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 There's J, showing off again. To our OP, the Evolution Gun Works/Lee Undersize die works for me, just fine, on my 550. The up-side is that everything runs through the press at one time...no handling the same piece of brass multiple times . From another forum, I heard that someone else is working on something like a CasePro, but it won't take caliber specific and expensive die plates. I guess somehow the die plate is modular.

jmorris Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) You tried putting a Dillon case feeder on the thing yet? The plastic Dillon one is a little too light for a bullet feeder. I also used a 3 o'clock exit. The only thing I don’t like about pass through sizers is that they don’t have the ability to clean up the rim. If the case pro thing doesn’t pan out I might start back in on the project. I really don’t have a problem with cases from my pistols but the brass that comes out of SMG’s can be an issue, so far I just keep them separated but it’s a pain keeping track.
