I am just hanging out on the sidelines waiting for the story to develop.
It will, I know when I built one it was a long and winding road.
Too hot, not hot enough, not hot in the right spots, wrong drop height etc...etc...etc.
Takes money and time...I had the time... ;-)

It never really worked the way I wanted it to.
BUT...Andy is starting with one complete part, the important part.
I tried it from scratch. ( can be done and is, but thats where the money part comes in. ):smilelol5:

I ended up partnering with a fellow reloader that bought an old small shotmaker that works well enough for our needs. modern ones are around the $500 - $700 range.
Now I wish I had bought one when they were $250!!!!!

Oh well.
