Lee push thru adapter

[Brad]

I like the little red bins that Lee sells with their push thru sizers. They work quite well but I have one problem with them, flat nose bullets like to stack up and lift the lid. I have been thinking for a while of a way to eliminate the problem.
A chunk of 6061, an hour of time, and a 3’ length of 3/4” ID braided hose.

Ooooooohhhh.....why didn't I think of that! Exlnt!!

NICE!! Going to borrow that idea and make mine tomorrow. While not stated, I assume the adapter is affixed to the top of the sizing die, right?

 

[Brad]

Yes, it is a snug slip fit. Top of Keith’s blanks run .820 and his one was bored out to .823. A 10-32 set screw is plenty to hold it in place.
I didn’t even draw it out, just made it as I went.

Real slick, Brad. But what are you gunna do for your 76 caliber & larger stuff?

 

[Brad]

Make a bigger one,duh. I have some 3” Al stock on hand for just such a situation.

Brilliant solution!

PVC works too!

also over on the reloader network. They figured out all ya need do is reduce the diameter inside the “red bottom piece” so the bullet won’t “stack” then the squirt out single file into the container!
Good thinking guys!!

Round noses solve alota issues.
