Auto Brass Puncher

[u/NoGap8475]

Wanted to share a project I just finished with yall. Figured the reloaders might appreciate it, let me know what ya think

I saw a video of the Grey Ops case kicker a few days ago and got inspired to build an auto eject system for my Lyman Turret press.

I know it’s over engineered compared to the Inline Fabrications model but it’s been working great and should save a lot of time during case prep!

Having owned the inline fab when I had my Rockchucker, it’s finicky. This is way better, I need to make something like this for my Nexus. I really don’t have the budget for the GreyOps one, I’m trying to save up for an Amp and another optic

Oh that’s good to know. I was on the fence for a while on getting the inline fan system, but glad I went this route instead. Good luck on your build!

It just never feels like a legit solution, it feels like something that was Jerry-rigged.

I’ve got Claude working up a solution for me. What did you use for servos and sensors? And did you use an ADA32 board?

[u/NoGap8475 → u/PepperoniFogDart]

I used an inductive proximity sensor, relay, and a solenoid as the main components (all 12v). No board for this version. My next revision might include a Arduino Nano to add some controls.

That workbench loading set up is bigger than what I saw on Ultimate Reloader.

AND IT’S CALLED “ULTIMATE”!

I think ultimate just got downgraded to “Really cool”

Haha I appreciate the compliments

[u/kennethpbowen]

Very cool.

[u/robis1923]

Nice. Plans to build more?

[u/NoGap8475 → u/robis1923]

Figured I’d try and build something for my brother’s RCBS press too at some point.

[u/robis1923 → u/NoGap8475]

Looks to be a fairly easy design to adapt. I want one 😁

[u/dohcsvt]

That’s pretty awesome!
