Case feeder V4. If you're using V1, V2, V3 or V4 and have comments, questions, suggestions, look up the Facebook group "Hornady Case Loader V4". https://www.facebook.com/groups/1320385661631125 *********************************** Revisions and updates ************************************* 10/4/20 This has now morphed into V4 which has further improvements. I will not be posting V4 on here as I just have too much time invested in it. Will gladly print a copy to include the V2 calibers alone or V2 and V3 calibers combined. V3 files have been removed as they are not compatible with V4. It is not possible to "upgrade" from V2 to V4. V4 is available for the "standard" calibers (as listed in V2), or with the following options... - Additional parts for use with .380ACP, (Includes storage area for extra components) - Additional parts for use with V3 large calibers, (Includes storage area for extra components) Leave a comment or message me if interested in a V4. 8/30/20 You can upgrade from V2 to V3 using these files while retaining V2 functionality. Upgrade should cover 40-40 Win, 38-55 Win, 45 Long Colt,44 Magnum, 303 British, 7.62 Russian, 458 Socom. Upper slides and drop tubes are easily changed without having to remove the loader from the press. Storage area for the non used components mounts to the back of the assembly. Simply select and install the proper upper slide and drop tube combination....then install either V2 or V3 case selector assembly and go ... Lower slide nose in V3 was modified to allow for the rims on the cartridges, this will still work with any non-rimmed cartridges as well. Please leave comments / feedback. I put a lot of time and work in creating this version for myself and others to enjoy.. Tips are welcome and much appreciated.. Bart 5/23/20 Back to the drawing board......not happy with it... 5/17/20 "Where are the files?..." It is not ready.....it is a work in progress....pictures show the first and currently only assembled feeder as proof of concept. This needs to be tested to make sure it works as intended. 5/10/20 Upper slide was not removable with feeder mounted to the press. Revised the design. 5/5/20. I think I have this where I want it...easily interchangeable for different calibers /cases. Better case guidance with three different upper slide sizes and quick change drop tubes. 5/8/20. Added storage place for the extra slides and drop tubes. Spent quite a bit of time on this ironing out the details....wondering if there is any interest in it. This all started because... - The 9's would sometimes not stand up when delivered in front of the slide nose... - One of the calibers I could not run through was 7.62x54R due to the large rim size. This design will also handle British 303 and can be tailored for other cartridges up to a ~15mm OD. It is created as an upgrade/update to the current V2. - The upper body of V2 would be exchanged with this version. - Three upper slides with various ID's to handle a range of calibers. - New tube holder, case selector and base for the larger caliber cartridges. Tube holder and case selector from V2 can still be used for the smaller calibers. Pictures show the finished and assembled loader with the large case selector. Bart
