Lee Case Collator with two Dillon XL650 adapters-Lowered Price!

Pacific NW Rider · Apr 11, 2021

In the quest to speed up reloading, I picked up a Lee Case Collator(sorter) and added it to my XL650. It works well for pistol cases, but not great for rifle cases. A friend made the metal adapter, so it mounts to the XL650 press. Since then, I have 3D printed two tube support guides, and an adapter for the Dillon 650 allowing this to clip on the shell adapter, which the single Dillon tube slides into. First picture is the unit with the metal adapter. Those following, show the two tube holder brackets and the new adapter which fits the standard Lee rotating fixture. You will need to use the Dillon support or make a support to steady this collator.

I ended up shelling out the money for a Dillon Case machine, as I reload a variety of calibers. for loading pistol, this is a solution to stopping constantly and dropping cases into the tube. You will have 4 full tubes, before you have to sort more.

I can ship this, if you pay for shipping.I have the shipping tube tin which he clear tubes were packaged. It probably would have to be a large box to fit everything. Alternatively, it could go in two boxes, which may be cheaper?

Cash, or PayPal "gift" payment.

Thanks

Mike

I know you didn't list it but can you accept Venmo by chance? Supposedly the most secure digital payment option.

Also do you know if it would fit a 750 by chance?

I believe it will. I made two mounts. One screws onto the nut for the downward facing rod, that shuttles the cases into the shell plate. You may have to adjust the alignment. It's been several years ago that made this adapter. I think I slightly bent the 1/4-20 bolt to zero in the alignment. I don't seem to have that specific bolt but there is one with the adapter. The 3dD printed one clips over the case feed adapter, tube, which comes with each caliber conversion. That then sits directly over the drop section and is a more elegant solution. Looking at the photo of a 750, it appears to have the same case shuttle mechanism, so either of which should work. The Lee case feeder, has 4 tubes. You shake the bowl to fill, so once filled, you probably have about 100 9mm or other similar sized cases in the tubes before you have to refill. I actually have a Lee press, which is how I happened to have this item. I love the Lee press, and use it for short runs, or building new loads, when I don't want to tear down my Dillon, just to make 20 rounds. Since I'm "hand loading" a small batch of ammo, I can live without the case feeder on the Lee.
