I recently added the Silver Layer brass and bullet feeds to my Lee Six Pack reloading set-up. Now that I have things tuned, I think it will speed up my reloading nicely. Loading the bullets in the Lee tubes by hand in particular was a rather tedious process. I thought I’d pass a long a couple tips. The maker, Chris, is very accessible for questions, but I didn’t necessarily find the entire set-up to be super intuitive so maybe this will be of help to someone. Here’s the outfit: I’m loading .38 spc. He doesn’t have designated .38 spc components, so you use the 9mm accessories for the bullet feed and the .40 S&W for the brass. I’m using coated 125grn RNFP from Slippery Bullets and they feed just fine. Chris gives instructions to tune the feed so the bullets land in the correct orientation and it’s a little fiddly, but works well once you have it set. The bullet tube slipped right over the Lee inline bullet feed die, no modification required, just trim to the desired length. The brass feed took a little more head scratching to work out. It comes with an adapter for the Lee press attached, but it’s sized for 9mm cases only so you have to remove that (it just pulls off the other adapter). It’s this piece: That leaves you with another piece connected the brass feed tube. In my case it’s white, but that may vary. You will need to the connect it to Lee’s Handgun Case Feed Magazine (sku: 90242). Of note, I have both the 4 tube and 5 tube version. I couldn’t get the Silver Layer to feed reliably with the 5 tube base. The design is a little different and the brass kept getting ejected too forcefully and didn’t make it to the press consistently. I haven’t had that issue with the 4 tube version. To connect the Lee tube base and the Silver Layer adapter, cut a small section of tube from the Lee feed tubes and put it between the two - it fits perfectly. You can order just the feed tubes (sku: 90661) if you want extra to modify. Otherwise, you just want to trim the length of both the brass and bullet tubes so they don’t have too much curvature to facilitate smoother feeding. The bullet feed is just a tube so that’s straightforward. The brass feed tube has the adapter on the end, but the feed tube just pulls out. Once cut, you just need to wrap the end of the brass feed tube with enough electrical tape that it fits snugly back into the adapter. That’s how it comes originally anyway. I’ve only loaded 100 rounds so far so I can’t give a long term report, but that got things running smoothly for me. Bladesmith

Howdy, im new to CAS, probably going to start reloading soon, and I dont really have a area to setup in (living in an apartment) wondering if anyone has suggestions for tables/ workbenches to plop all of the press and case cleaners on? I'm not great at woodworking, so I'd be more willing to get something pre-made, since making a whole table is a bit difficult

These items are all new. When I started reloading, a few years ago, I bought some things I dont need. My prices are based on Midway and are marked down. This is not a fire sale. Prices are each and shipping is extra. No trades or Pay pal. US Post Office Money order for your total plus shipping costs, like on Gun Broker.
