simple, put 50 shells on the bench, when they;re gone you should have 50 loaded rounds,

This.

In 9mm I do batches of 600 as I only have 6 small primer tubes and haven't picked up a vibra-prime yet.. In 30-30 I go until I am out of brass.

I put 50 jelly beans on the table, eat one jellybean every time I finish a round. When the jellybeans are gone I'm done. I tried this with beer but it didnt work.

Well, I ordered off of Amazon on Sunday and it got here today. Not bad.

Here's the unit. The arm with the spring on it can be rotated around so the "clicking" action can be a down stroke, upstroke, or sidestroke. I mounted it right on the bench in front.


I linked it to the positive powder rod thingy (which I've never hooked up) with a short piece of chain I had in the drawer. I'll get some smaller stuff next time I go to the hardware store.


In the upstroke, it pulls the chain and clicks the unit.


The only thing I don't like is the slack in the chain when it's down. I don't think it will interfere, but maybe a smaller chain will look neater.



I think I'm going to like it. For less than $10, what the hell.
Thanks to all those who offered help/ideas.
