Clutch Type Collator Wheel_300 Blackout

thingiverse

Note: I uploaded this a second time. The first upload disappeared from public search and my list of designs. Thingiverse is definitely glitchy. This version has an updated Clutch_Hub with a reduced diameter for better fitment. I designed, printed, and tested three versions of these wheels. I based the design on "openBulletFeeder - 6.5 Creedmoor Collator Plate" by Ruebarb. I am pretty happy with the results of this version. I also converted it into my clutch-type designed collator wheel like these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4783245 I find it to be pretty efficient for these long bullets. It can definitely keep up with my reloading speed when pulling the lever on 300 BLK rounds. It worked fine at the standard 45-degree bowl angle but I found it was a little more efficient at a slightly lower angle. Different speeds and amount of bullets in the bowl also affected efficiency but overall, it works really well in all configurations. I pulled the front part of the flipper plate completely off and added a steeper ramp with double-sided automotive trim tape. As you can see in the video, it works perfectly. You may need a new flipper plate depending on which version you use. The added ramp has no negative effects on other bullets...ie 9mm and .223.
