I use a Magma Lubemaster for sizing with a MA-systems collator. Since this also is used by the Star sizer I chose to post it here....
Anyway... This fat and short 45-180RNFP boolit is a pain in the rear end to collate. After 2 days of adjusting everything I could think of, I got it to work... sort of.... OK. Not good but OK, except for one thing. The slots in the collating plate for 45 cal is the same as the length of these boolits and of course they get stuck in the slots sideways. The only sollution so far is to pry them out with a screw driver. I can live with some of the boolits going in backwards because of their short and fat design but after sizing 9000 of these I'd wish it would be another sollution than the one described above. This boolit is popular with the local cowboy shooters so, its a great demand for them.
What I have not tried yet is to deburr or round the edges of the slots in the plate with a flat file. If I could open them up just a tad it may be enough to make them less sticky. My thought is that they might be loose enough to get the wipers to wipe them out of the slots when lying sidways. To get them to lay just up/down and not sideways seems to be an impossible task. I don't want to mess up my plate with the file either since it works great with my other boolits....
I have mailed Magma since they always has been great at customer support, but they have not been able to answer my questions yet. So, what better place to ask... I guess someone in here has a tip. It sure would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
