After seeing one on YouTube I decided to build my own(yeah they're only $30,
) but hey thats money I can spend on reloading supplies. I didn't have the right spring so I just doubled up a rubber band which actually works quite well cause you can adjust it to the right tension. Probably took half an hour.
The catch took a bit longer to perfect. A milk jug works quite well cause you just un cap it and with a few taps it empties into another container. Just .223 and .357 here- larger calibers might not fit out the cap so well. After about 20 rds I learned how to throw the lever just right to get them to toss right.
It's a little awkward working around the catch when seating but I'm finding my rythmn.
I don't expect to ever move up to a progressive for what I do but this was a nice(cheap
) way to speed up my single stage.
