looks cool. A camera down the middle of the toolhead would be useful for checking powder charges

Beautiful! Sure doesn't look overdone to me.
I only use an angled mirror on my case loader and go till I'm tired.  I've also got a buzzer when my primers are low.

Do yourself a favor and get the Short ergo roller handle if most of your loading will be pistol caliber. Your palm will thank you!

I got the ergo roller from inline and hate it. Don't know if it's the short or long.

I got my roller handle from Ultimate Reloader a LONG time ago. I like it, but I'm tall.
I set up a camera to monitor powder drops. It hangs off the outside of the tool deck and "looks" in at an angle. It works pretty well. On the other hand, since Double Alpha came out with an electronic powder check die that doesn't require a shell plate sensor the way Dillon's does, when I set up the LnL next, that Double Alpha unit is going on it. I really like that extra insurance that I haven't screwed up a powder throw. |

I bought one off the EE years ago and was happy with it but as I started loading more/longer sessions it kept getting loose so finally I took it off. Maybe I'll look back at it again. Very nice setup! |

LOVE IT!
Only way this gets better is if you have automated canned air periodically blowing out the primer shuttle area. |

overboard is a concept for the weak. That sir is how one should do it. A tip of the hat to you.

Can you tell me about the round counter? I am in the process of setting up my LNL and that would be a cool upgrade to do.

I am not sure of the search words I am using are not correct but, I am not getting stuff like what you used. |

You will probably have to supply the power to whatever digital counter you buy. Fortunately the various little plugin dc power supplies are cheap. Every time I toss a gizmo, its power supply goes in the project parts box. The only mods my AP has besides low primer alarm is the powder measure activated counter (microswitch feeding an old A-B 5/03 with a PanelView 150), and an extremely bright blue LED that shines up through the case if the primer is missing.
