That's a neat idea! I believe there are many reloaders here who would love that gadget!

But I check my load every 10 loads. That's just the way I was taught, and I'm to old to get in a hurry!:D

80 dollars for a gizmo. 25 dollars for another wheel to do different calibers.

Is charging a case REALLY the thing that slows down your reloading? WOW, with this 80 dollar thingy I can put powder in 30 cases in 40 seconds. Golly gosh. Such a massive improvement, over the 2 minutes it takes to charge 50 cases, using my 5 dollar loading block.

As y'all might surmise, I am not impressed. :rolleyes:

I believe Carver and Alpo are correct, at least that's how I do it. Of course I never spent $5 for a loading block, made all of them myself with a drill press. Might be something I could fabricate out of Ash or Oak and use it with my RCBS flask. It would work nicely with my Lee Turret, just take a little time with a band saw and router.....I only load .223, .380 and 9mm on the Lee, all others are done on my Dillon 550B

I'm thinking $80 for a Lazy Susan is a bit much, and then some. Not quite sure how this doodad is going to solve the medical issues listed but that's just me. I have a better idea. I'll get my granddaughter to pull the crank and keep the $80 for range fees :D

It's an interesting tool, if it suits your reloading style. Personally I pick up every case to charge it with powder, either to hold it under the spout on my powder measure or hold it with a funnel to charge from my scale pan. I never charge cases in a block, too easy to OOPS!...

Yup, neat idea. It doesn't fit my routine either, but it's still a solution to somebody's problem.
If it's something that works for the inventor then it's definitely not a silly product.

As for the price. Well, for the guys out there that don't have a workshop full of tools then at least they can get their hands on one too.
Myself...if I wanted one, yes I would spend a bit of time out in the shop and whittle out my own version.
