    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.

    In any case here is a video of 100 rounds loaded on a Lee Loadmaster in under 4 minutes.

    Now why not automate the lever action, too? Set it and forget it. Come home to one million rounds after a long day at work.

    Three reasons, first is that there is no failsafe, must keep your eye on the powder charge. Second it that the machine is not the best design in the world. I assume that is the fastest 100 rounds any Lee Loadmaster has ever loaded. Third is that you only have 100 primers in the machine at a time and still have to load the primer feeder.

    In anycase this is as close to what your talking about that I have made.

    I know. Relax with the rant. I haven't seen any primer tube that hold a million either.

    Calm down. Nice work.
