Bullet Feeder Die 9mm 38 357 7/8-14 Thread
Description
Made this for my RCBS press, the one they sell isn't great and it annoyed me. It should work with other presses but I can't confirm this yet, so feel free to comment. It's a very simple design using pins (nails in my build) and gravity with no special components. Probably the smallest and least complex design I've seen so hopefully that will mean reliability. At the time of upload it's handled 200 rounds without issues. Parts: -1x Die body (the printed part) -1x Feed tube. Use RCBS parts and or PC water cooling hard tube may work (any tube .49in or less in O.D. with an I.D, to match your bullet. exp. 9mm = .355 + clearance) -2x Pins/ Nails .125" O.D. approximately 1.75in long with a larger head or end bent at an angle to keep them from dropping through. Cut the ends so they are not sharp or pointed. (SEE PICTURES) Assembly: (This will depend on your printer) -The threads should fit right in but you may need to clean them up if your prints have lots of globs. Basically the usual printed threads drama. - Internal holes can be chased with a 1/8in drill bit for the smaller holes and a 3/8in drill bit for the large hole. -Pins should slide smoothly and the bullet should fall through with no resistance without the pins installed. -Thread the die in until the bullets feed out reliably and the next is held in place by the pins. The ram will need to be all the way up for this. -9mm: The die does not need a locking/retaining nut for 9mm on the RCBS press as it should screw all the way/ most of the way in. Thread tape can be used if necessary but it should never get stuck or be hard to turn by hand. -38/357: The die should not require a locking/retaining nut though it is possible to use one. I don't recommend this as printed threads are easy to over torque. Thread tape should hold it in place if necessary.
