I played with the idea of putting a bullet feeder on my T7. With just a tube feed no a feeder collator, and have several loaded tubes ready. Not so much as to be faster, but to be easier to use. ( And a little cheaper. )
Looked at the Lee and RCBS bullet feed dies and did not like the way they were made. RCBS has plastic inside them..!!!!

The Hornady bullet feed dies are just the ticket, plus found a few people who have modified them to work with lead bullets.
I will get the hornady bullet feed die at some point soon when I get all my other projects finished ( maybe one day? )

When yall are talking about the Lee Turret press, do you mean the Classic Turret or the other one?
I understand that the classic turret is the better one? But I have NOT used either one so I really do not have any idea.
I did really look at them and seriously almost bought one, but didn't...Still might if they are as good as people say?
Every press or mechanical device has its problems, some more than others.

Works great for me.

I'll be setting one of those up as a demo unit next to the LnL. I think the T7 is a fine investment. Technically, you can easily have two calibers set up for reloading. Midway has them on sale for $245 right now, which is a great price!

I decided after using the T7 for a while, not to have more than one caliber on the turret. I just bought other turrets.
Wish they were a little cheaper..!!
I did install 2 calibers worth of dies and tried it a few times...It was ok?

I use to have a Dillon Square Deal "B" . It worked just fine, but was wanting a 650 so I sold it but never bought the 650??
Oh well...I'm still having fun reloading.

Last thing I was playing with, was a pneumatic shell kicker on the T7. I had a few thousand pieces of brass to deprime and connected a air jet to a bracket at the base of the ram and a push button air valve at the top of the stroke behind the handle.
As I raised the brass into the die to deprime and then back down...A jet of air pushed the brass out of the shell holder and into a box. It just took out the step of taking the brass off the ram and setting it into a box for me. It was very fast.
I just like doing that sort of thing...I seem to want to modify everything..!!!

Thats one reason I bought a Redding T7 turret press and extra turrets too.....!!
A lot easier and faster than a single stage press for us "lazy" guys
I make one complete round at a time instead of batch'n it.... WorkZ for me.
Plus I put a powder measure with case activated powder measure attachment on it like the LnL AP's have.
