Any advice where and what kind of motor I can use? You said that it was a 4 RPM motor. That seems very slow. ??

Couple questions/ideas: first, it looks like a five gallon bucket would make a cheap quick and dirty hopper; just slice it off at an angle and pretty up the edges and voila! Second, if I were to use a slightly thinner shell plate and tweak the edge notches right, would this same principle work as a bullet feeder? I'm thinking that a thin plate wouldn't let a bullet stand up on its nose and would still hold it up to the top if it were oriented fat end down, as it would need to be fed.

Thank you for the video. The plexiglass looks like it's 1/4 inch thick, can you confirm the thickness.

Will this work with un-primed cases?

Have you mounted this on to a press yet? How do you feed the case on to the shell plate?
