300 BLK & Large Pistol Plate
Quote from Reloader on March 7, 2016, 5:53 pmI have read several posts about using 2 washers and the large pistol plate in the case feeder for 300 blackout. Am I understanding correctly to use 2 of the thick washers like the one that comes with the case feeder? The lower part of the clutch where the washer sits fits inside the hole of the plate. There is just enough length with 1 washer to still go inside the plate hole. If 2 washers are used the clutch no longer fits inside the plate hole and you are basically pinching the plate between the clutch assembly. Is this is how everyone using this method is doing it? It seems with it set up this way if the clutch is engaged the plate could actually go eccentric. Anyone have a problem with this?

Even though I only have the one washer that come with feeder for now, I saw today exactly what you are talking about. There is only a sliver of material available for the 2nd washer. I also realized this would allow the plate to wobble all over the place. I wonder if JB Welding both of washer togather would prevent the wobble. Good luck..

Before I knew of the washer trick I put a small piece of window foam on each side of the plate case opening. Which in effect made the plate thicker.
Worked great until I ran 10's of thousands cases through the plate and the foam fell off and jammed in the tube. No problem there either.

I am forming my 300 casings from 223 rounds though. Conversions kits are too pricey.
