The AutoTap Bullet Holder (ABH) is a precision-machined, caliber-specific insert used in the AutoTap system to securely retain and stabilize bullets during the trimming and pointing process. Unlike the manual MTAP bullet holder, the ABH is specifically designed for automated operation and is integrated directly into the AutoTap's carriage system.
Key Features of the AutoTap Bullet Holder:
-
Caliber-Specific Fit: Each ABH is tailored to match the dimensions of a specific bullet caliber, ensuring precise alignment and retention for optimal cut consistency.
-
O-Ring Retention System: The ABH utilizes internal O-rings to gently grip the bullet. These O-rings provide just enough resistance to hold the bullet firmly during the cycle, while still allowing for smooth insertion and ejection without damaging the jacket or distorting the bullet shape.
-
Consistent Bullet Indexing: The ABH ensures that each bullet seats to a consistent depth, helping maintain repeatable tip trimming results that are essential for uniformity and ballistic performance.
