Thanks Roy, I really appreciate the shoutout in your video Sir! Though this is actually an open source build, I take great pride in assembling the stand and electronics in fine detail and that can't be duplicated!
Still loving my (your) bullet feeder. Since I shoot Cowboy Action and might shoot 1000 rounds in a week, this really helps with my keeping up the inventory. Thank You!
I have the loadmaster and the six pack pro . My LM is for 9mm and six pack is for my 223. I was thinking of getting the frankford x10 press. But I think I’m going with another six pack .
I just got a lee six pack pro press ...so far having issues with 223 falling so I need a case door like yours but cant seem to find any online ...the next issue is the inline bullet feeder the bullets wont feed into the die sometimes and I need to grab it and kinda click it to get it to drop into the die ...another issue is i guess lee now uses 2 shell guides on the press instead of the one with the riser so you gotta take off the riser and put it back on when swapping calibers and I have a heck of a time with the spring on that trying to unhook it ...primers get stuck under the plastic ring for smaller cases ...this is my first progressive press so maybe it is user caused error ..but the shell door is just a upgrade lee should make ...you said in a video you can buy a door like yours ..where can you find them? I seen one sold by shopwithbordem website but it looks much smaller
I was really surprised when I saw the price! I am thinking about buying one! Even though I have cut down on my shooting a bit thanks to ridiculous primer and powder costs due to all the hazmat fees and junk now that no stores near me seem to carry anything I want to use anymore. I'm probably on a list now because the only efficient ways around the fees is to order a lot at a time lol!
Hello Roy I like your way of showing us how to get things working and especially with me, I have been a framing contractor for 40 years but after my old combat wounds have decided to interrupt my life with cancer and Neurological problems and just lately VA found a brain tumor so I can’t do anything like carpenter work. But I’m still on top of the soil for now 😂 Roy I have the Six pack and I’m having problems with my sliders like where can I purchase the sliders for 308’s or 7.62 x51 these are my favorites that I was buying but now I just want to find something that I like to do but need the sliders or maybe the ones I already have can work if stacked properly but, I have not gotten that combination yet and the sliders that I do have just slide so very easy there’s no force against the spring so what can I do about this young man? Thank you from Ernie
I’ve got the silver slayer bullet and case feeder a 3D case dropper that works what better than Lees and the primer sentry which alarms when no more primers are coming out of the hopper but still 6-7 in the shoot a DAA powder check die. I can do 500rds an hour without rushing and typically only have some type of issue every 250rds or so audible alarms for powder or primer issues. I’m prob under $800 for everything
Fantastic product. Not sure if it is worth the price since it takes me just a few minutes to load up the magazines while watching TV. Then again, time is money...
Thanks for the great info. It looks like you're running trail boss. I use it for many loads as well, but it's my understanding that it's no longer available. Do you have any substitutions in mind?
I have enough for at least a year or two....But I just heard that it is going back into production and will be available in February or March.....I still find it here and there and buy it off other reloaders thgat don't use it any longer. I love it because you can't double charge a 38spl as it is so bulky. And it burns clean...
Really enjoy your videos, keep them coming! One question I have is how much of a pain in the ass is it to correct that one bullet which came down upside down in the tube? Did you figure out how to prevent it from happening again?
It happens maybe once in 500 bullets! I just pick it out of the case and turn it around. But I loaded a few upside down and fired them. At under 50' there is zero difference in accuracy, but they leave a real nice hole. Like a wad-cutter
@@roybertalotto6355 I’ve been out of handloading for about 10 years, got rid of all my equipment, sadly. But I’m seriously missing it & I think I’m going to buy a Lee 6000 here pretty soon. I love what I’m seeing so far!
I have the same setup as you but when loading 9mm, the bullets get stuck in the Lee inline die and I have to kinda push the bullets down the die every 4-5 cartridges loaded. Do you run into a similar problem with the bullets getting stuck? Any work arounds?
No problems here....But I only load coated bullets or jacketed. Lubed lead bullets do get stuck and I believe the instructions caution about using them in this bullet feeder. I would think a very slight adjustment to the LEE bullet feeder might resolve your issue. The adjustment is indeed quite sensitive.
@@roybertalotto6355 Yes, Im using hi-tec coated cast lead bullets. Definitely not related to cast lube bullets. Hmmm, I'm wondering if I should have a straight rigid plastic tube leading into the die so the bullets feed in straight before they enter die. Will have to experiment with it. Will also try adjusting the die to see if I can see a difference.
Have you checked the top of the die where the bullets enter it? I had to chamfer the top of mine, the shoulder was pretty blunt. I have other Lee inline dies that needed the same work.
@@danraup6089Great post. As the video creator stated, getting bullets from an autofeeder to the die is the challenge. I think the clear tubing is brilliant, I ended up using the steel "spring" tube made by the other bullet feeder manufacturer, but it is a hassle of its own. The clear tube would seem to solve the issues with that. I too have 9MM's that "catch" feeding into the bullet die. I am definitely going to try and chamfer that edge in the bullet feed die, as that is exactly where mine hangs up. Which you don't notice until you get a casing without bullet. And it happens more frequently than I care to deal with. FWIW I hose clamped both ends of the bullet feed tube to the feeder and die. Mine was needed because it's steel, but I would suspect the plastic tubing may also benefit from that as that stuff can be fairly rigid and the repetitive movement of the die "plunger" I would expect to eventually work free. But if you don't have that problem, great! Going to go back and look at the video details, was the tube diameter mentioned? Edit: it is; 1/2" ID x 5/8 OD. FWIW I've had no issue feeding 308 bullets in the 9MM tube, but it needs to have the proper feed die of course.
Enjoyed your video. My new press is on order and is scheduled for delivery Christmas Eve (2024).

Really enjoyed your video Sir, I’ll check out the bullet feeder company I am also a veteran and enjoy supporting fellow veterans.
Thank you for your service!

When you are loading a few hundred cartridges or a few thousand......It easily pays for itself in time......A few dozen cartriges...no bother!
Does anyone have a video y doing rifle shells. like 270 win or bigger?

I'll give that a try. What did you use? Dremel and grinding cone attachment or something else? Thanks.

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS.

Nice.
I miss Trailboss.....
Why does this look almost exactly like the bullet feeder I printed out from Thingiverse?
