Thread: Home made reloading tools

I know how they work but I think I am missing something. How does it feed the powder without going past the intake and binding it all up? Do you have a catchment of some description or is it the araldite and shot?

I'm designing my own powder trickler


It is an open source project. You can find all project files from https://github.com/eamars/OpenTrickler

Here is a simple primer pocket cleaner.
Just a drill ground like a screw driver.

Does this help?

Cheap bullet puller.

A bit more than just an aid or tool cobbled together but recently I made up this tool.
It measures primer pocket depth and seated primer depth. Will accept rim size from 223 up to 7.5x55 SR.
Small primer pockets/primer depths and large rifle primer pockets/primer depths.
I have a zeroing block for changing between the 2.

Geez, thats pretty fancy.

Made this today, to get media out of cases after tumbling. Shake it round for a minute over a bucket or whatever and job done.

Great thread, hope to add my own after I start someday.

A good mate has the skills of a slightly retarded duck when it comes to woodwork. He asked for a few loading blocks for different cartridges. This is the end result. Well, pre a clear coat.
