DIY easy cheap case-ejector for press.

Post by Niels Knudsen »

Hi Lee-Loaders.

Inspired of the Inline Factory Case-ejector, I´ve invented my own model, easy to make and very very cheap.
It consist of two cable-ties, one heavy acting as spring/ejector and one minor, securing the heavy one. Both tied around the farthest "leg" of my O-press. The end of the heavy just above and on the left side of the shellholder.
When placing the case in the shellholder, I push the end of the cable-tie to the right side of the ram. Holding the case against the cable-tie is easy, and when rising the ram, I can grab the next case. When the ram is lowered again, the cable-tie flips the case/cartridge into the bin placed on the edge of my bench right nex to the press.´I'm reloading 8x57 JS with 160 GR Barnes bullet in Hornady die.
See set-up and function here:

By the way, the pipe-bracket on the bottom of the press is for balancing the case-release-capsule of a RCBS-primer-pocket-swager:
