Thanks I like tinkering. Since this video I have added another six pack pro dedicated to 45acp and this one is now setup for 9mm. I have also designed a automatic case feeder for my Dillon square deal b which I bought back in 1987 that's working great. I don't use the Dillion much anymore because the lees are working great
Overall the Dillion is a better machine. The lee can be a little challenging to setup but once dialed in it works well. Dillons warranty can't be beat. When they say lifetime they mean it.
I cut the spring about an inch and a half from the bottom where it attaches to the primer slide. I then cut about 1/2 in off of the spring. I then took a 6 - 32 machine screw that I cut off the head the screw is about 2 inches long and screwed both half of the springs back together using the screw that I cut. This allows me to adjust the length of the spring to the exact length that I need in order to have the primer slide go back far enough to pick up the next primer but not go too far or not fat enough. After I got the length adjusted I took a piece of metal coat hanger and inserted it into the top of the spring and trimmed it to length about 1/4 inch from the top of the spring. This also helps keep the spring from flexing. The pen cover helps to also keep the spring from wanting to bend. Once you get it dialed in it works great. Yesterday I loaded 623 9mm in one hour. Loading the primer trays is the slowest part of the process. Good luck
i note in the video at 2.36 minutes, the 45 auto case sitting at station 3, has a damaged mouth,,, would you make a video dedicated to only show the each individual improvements you have made....,,, and or would you share the 3d print files,, warm regards, harie g in South East Queensland.
Here's a link to the 3d files. I did make a second video with both a bullet and case feeder. I did get that round with the damaged case mouth when I inspected my loaded rounds www.thingiverse.com/thing:3438003
Now just 3d print and automate the case feeding, and something to manually activate the handle and we'd have a fully automatic press similar to a Dillon.
I did a second video and in the second video there is a 3D printed case feeder. I gave consideration to automating the handle to make it a fully automated but I prefer to feel the primer being seated in the case as I actuate the handle and it really isn't difficult just it manually. Since this video I have added another pro 6000 with both a case and a bullet feeder. One is now dedicated to 9mm the other to 45acp. I plan to make another video in the near future of both as well as my Dillon square deal with a one off automatic case feeder.
Do you have the STLs for the case feeder and bullet feeder? Do you have any recommendations on how to modify the springs as you mentioned? Did you follow a guide for the power checker? I appreciate the video!
@@joescavone6174 I got the STL files off of thingiverse for the bullet feeder which also has files for a case feeder by the same guy. He has a RUclips video about assembly. I cut the spring about an inch from the bottom and then removed about 1/2 inch from the top part I got a 6/32 screw 1.5 inches long and cut the head off of it. Screw the two pieces together using the screw and adjust to the length you need to make the primer feeder not over or under extend. I inserted a piece of metal coat hanger in the top portion of the spring and cut it to just a little short of the spring top. I also took a bic pen and used the outer portion as a sleeve over the spring to help the spring from flexing. www.thingiverse.com/thing:3438003 Good luck.
@@mr.e9727 I 3d printed it. I got the STL files on thingiverse. Since that video I've added a 3d printed case feeder like the bullet feeder. I'll make a new video in the coming week or so.
Hi Carl, thanks for the video! Greetings from Brazil! Quick question, i didnt get what mod have you made in the primer spring, besides adding the pen cover on it. You mentioned a screw but I wasnt able to see it. Can you explain that a little better? Appreciate your support man
Some people are just on a different level. You sir have it figured out lmao.
In my second video I added a 3d printed case feeder
thanx for the em carl

Wow. Next level stuff.

@ I thought about buying a Dillon, but the Lees just look so good for so little money, relatively.

I did get that round with the damaged case mouth when I inspected my loaded rounds

They are 200 grain loaded to 1.255" they shoot fine in all of my 45acp pistols. Yes I pulled that round.
Now just 3d print and automate the case feeding, and something to manually activate the handle and we'd have a fully automatic press similar to a Dillon.

Check your bullet seating die. Rounds look short. BTW there was a bad case in position 4 at the beginning of the video.

@@joescavone6174 the powder check is just something I put together with stuff I had laying around, it's pretty simple.
Hi Carl. Do you have more details on the powder check you added?
No but you can buy then
how about the primer feeder extension?
