I'm using a home made copy of the "Freeloader" and in running my 1st 9's am getting a large number of upside down case feeds. Have any of you encountered this problem? Will a smaller diameter tube work or solve the problem?
I have used this freeloader for years & many rounds of 38's & 45's.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron:
You may want to make the hole(s) thru which the cases drop through a wee bit smaller. A hole punch and a clear coffee can lid made of plastic (with the rim trimmed off) would be the ticket. I saw a YouTube video by a guy who fixed this problem using the above. I think he was using a case reloader from Lee called a Loadmaster. He showed a step by step process for the fix. The was getting 3 wrong ways per tube and by making the drop hole a wee bit smaller he eliminated that issue.
If you go to YouTube and do a search on ... Lee Loadmaster 9mm Case Collator Modification
the you will find this great video... The guy does a super job of showing the problem and the fix....
This may help you...
