      Automated brass sorter by weight

      I haven’t had much time to play with this, built the electronics part, did the programming and threw together the mechanical parts months ago. It’s still a long way from being a finished product but it’s also one of those projects that can get lost do to “life getting in the way” if I don’t see...

      Auto decap and primer pocket sorting machine

      I built a machine that will decap and sort 45 ACP by primer pocket size. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJgU3-OXuUU

      How to "micrometer" any die

      There are reasons to own various dies but if being able to simply accurately set and adjust depth from one position to another you can save a lot of money making a "beginners level" tool vs buying a special die. All it does is hold an indicator off a surface, as long as you don't move it it...

      Shooting Chrony "hidden secrets"

      Shooting with a buddy awhile back I was reviewing data on my old shooting chrony and he wanted to know what "hack" I had done in order to make it give high, low, average, ES, SD and review all the shots. He was kind of upset that is was just a plug and momentary push button away, all the...

      Found another bonus with the Dillon powder check die

      I had an ammo load stepped 9mm case somehow get by and into the machine, the powder check found it. I wired into this particular PC die as it is an input for the PLC that normally runs this machine but it is otherwise as it came from Dillon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EU9deSKm48

      Case wall thickness gauge

      Well, the doctors didn't kill me last week and I got tired of laying and sitting so I did a few minutes of resting out in the shop today. Not a big project but an easy one I had been intending to do when I had a few min. It's just a 3/16 rod with a .100" bearing embedded into one end that...

      Media separator, cement mixer size

      I built a media separator for a bank of cement mixer size tumblers. It is on casters to roll from one to the next and doesn't have the normal crevices that trap and hold media. Not a lot to explain on this one so I'll get to the photos and video. How it works...

      Concentricity gauge build

      There have been a few times I have wished I had a simple little concentricity gauge dedicated to the reloading room for measuring runout in cases and to see how well bullets are being seated, so I built this one today. There is a slot machined into the base plate that the bearing holders ride...

      380 shot shells

      380 shot shells. First step is to turn the .223 case back and I built a little fixture to trim them to .980" Once locked into the fixture I rough cut them long then hit it on a disk sander that gets it to .980" I used Winchester SPP to ignite the N310 under a cardboard wad with 60 grains...

      Improvised brass catcher

      Working up some loads and needed a quick brass catcher so I knew what brass was fired from each round. Lucky for me, I had to clean the pool earlier and that gave me an idea. A few 1/8" straps, and a section of tubing and two bolts and I was ready to go.

      So I bought a few green mountain blanks...

      After looking for "uppers" for one of my TC contenders for my Daughter and not liking the prices I decided to build them. Started with the .22 blank and turned it down and threaded it for a suppressor. While I was at it, I went ahead and machined a thread protector if it ever didn't...

      RCBS Pro 2000 case feed

      Found a deal on a NIB pro 2000 and received a shell plate for 9mm Tuesday and had a case feed working today. Still need to cut the locator plate and finish out the feed tube and collator interface but this is a video of how it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hObNbSATBOE

      Auto reset reactive steel targets

      I have made a few similar to this that work better than walking back and forth when it's wet. This is a video with a camera down range showing them working. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIOcNNcLxnU They generally run off of deer feeder batteries but they are in use feeding right now...

      Molding AR receivers

      I normally don't just post links but this one is pretty neat and has step by step photos, I thought some here would enjoy. They don't have a very long life but interesting none the less. End result step by step is here...

      So much for winter project Loadmaster

      The case feed, Hornady bullet feed and the latest primer system came in and I made some adapters for my collators so they would work. I also added a counter, light and mirror, so I could know how many primers I went through and so I could see the powder throw as I couldn't also run a PC die...

      Case activated 650 priming system

      So I had a dream about a solution to a problem I don't have but read about often. People always complain about the primer shoot and how the 650 delivers a primer no matter if there is a case or not. So in envisioned a stamped part the would go between the station 2 locator tab bushing and...

      Remote rifle

      Not sure why but I always wanted one. Guess I can scratch that one off the list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxXv1je6yr8

      Tried out the .25 Mrod today.

      Well after the .22 Mrod was returned because it shot patterns vs groups, the new .25 came in. It was pretty windy today so I setup half in the shop and half out and ran a few quick 5 shot groups with 4 different pellets. Was pretty happy that it doesn't seem to be pellet picky, so I...
