Here are some mods i have done over the years.

I use a Inline fabrication quick change mount. I mounted a small piece of metal angle hole/slotted to hold small bins.

Made an auto ejector for the indexing rod. It is a drill bit stop that i drilled and tapped twice. One for a retention stud and the other for the spring stud. With it tapped you can use a small stud to attach a couple of small springs.

With the the auto ejection there needs to be a feed ramp to channel the cartridge into the bin. I used a thin piece of aluminum to make the ramp.

I installed a inspection mirror to confirm that there is powder going into the case. Also Bought a roller handle from inline fab.

Have you tried the new feed thru shell holder from Lee? Might work good with your set up.

Nice mods, Looks like you can really crank out some rounds with that set up. I just got the inline fab ergo roller handle for my Hornady press and it is very nice no more blisters.
