great vid can you tell me what size motor that you are using and were i can get one ive tryed to find one but every time i think i found the right one it is to weak to use
@MrJpm383 The motor I used came from allelectronics(dot)com CAT# DCM-276 It's not the most powerful motor so I really can load more than a hand full of bullets in it at a time but it works for me. You can look into other gearhead type motors though and you might find something with a bit more torque.
Love it... and I need one. :) Quick question... most, if not all, commercial units explain they only work with jacketed bullets... I would like to load lead for cowboy shooting. have any experience with .38 or .45 lead (but non wadcutter) rounds? What should a DIY feeder consider if going for that approach? Thanks a ton!
@faustgeist I think the only problem (or difference) when using lead is you would have to clean the unit periodically because of the lube/wax build up. I would look into the mrbulletfeeder I hear people run lead trough his without to many problems. (I don't own one though so that's just what I've heard/read) or if your trying to make your though own you can't beat his design either.
There's really not much to it besides the bucket, a motor, and the collator plate (cut from a plastic cutting board. The only thing you can't see is a piece of Plexiglas that is under the plate that acts more or less as a spacer to help the bullets drop off the fingers. The design would have to be totally different if you were running standard bullets though.
I used is a 12 volt 5 RPM geared motor from All Electronics (Item# DCM-276) I may upgrade to a better motor in the future because it can only handle a handful or two of bullets at a time. The bucket I used is much smaller than a 5 gallon type, the diameter is about 7" and it is roughly 4.5" deep. You can its size in relation to the XL650 casefeeder in my video "Homemade Bullet Feeder System for the Dillon XL 650"
That is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time! Are you planning on using any kind of sound dampening material on the outside? Seems like it would get kinda loud.
Thanks, I all most put a rubber piece on the inside but it's really not to loud as your actually loading and the press makes noise anyway so I decided against it. Plus when its clanking away I know there's bullet left and it's still working. :)

Have any idea on the changes you would need to make to run round nose ammo? If you do can you post it?

Any chance you can post a "how to" make one? I would love to make one for a lubrisizer.

Would you mind sharing info on the motor you used for this? Is that a metal 5 gallon bucket you used? Nice work
