223 Light switch for bullet feeder

thingiverse

After conducting extensive testing with Ammo Mike's bullet collator, the most effective upgrade for reliability is swapping out to a light control switch. Even proximity sensors occasionally fail, making the light control switch a more reliable choice for your bullet feeder. This setup works seamlessly with my 223 Bullet drop die. The entire assembly sits atop a 1/2 inch Plexiglass tube that can be sourced from E plastics, measuring 2-3 inches in length. Double alpha sells a spring extension, but purchasing a high-quality spring directly is a better value.

This setup utilizes the XH-M131 light switch control module, which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTV5UW4/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=eagleeyeshoot-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01MTV5UW4&linkId=5baa566061d9a5b578829067ad35f9d5 These links are affiliated.
