This might be the best piece of reloading equipment I have ever bought. It's works every bit as well as it does in there video.

Tony at the make ready pro shop got me a great deal on it too. If you have a dillon 650 it's not complete with out this!

So with this thing rocking along as fast as you can pull the handle, is it possible to visually check the powder charge? I have a powder check die in the 3rd position. With the bullet feeder there it would seem hard to even see the case between position 2 and 3. What do you think?

What is retail cost on these things?

You can visually check the powder before the bullet is seated in position 3.

Can this be adapted to a Hornady LNL?

I have the old school Mr Bulletfeeder. I have a theory that MacGuyver was held hostage in the plumbing aisle at Lowes and was forced to create it with items only within arms reach.

It flat out works though.

I loaded 200 in about 15min last night.
Once I get used to it, 500 in 30min should be easy.

The Mini Mr. Bulletfeeder is $129.
I'm not sure how it'll work on a 550 though.

Here is a video of my KISS (what they were called before mr bullet feeder) loading 100 rounds in 2.5 minutes.

The pros are that they fit in any press that uses standard dies and can be had in rifle calibers.

The biggest negative is that you loose the ability to run a powder check die, unless you seat and crimp in the same station.

If you want to seat/crimp in two stations and PC, with a bullet feeder the GSI is the only choice but they are only made for Dillon's.

Best money I ever spent.

rmuller · Aug 13, 2013

does the bullet feeder station bell the case mouth at the same time? I don't want to lose my powder check station but i don't think i will have to since i'm seating/crimping in the same station.
have a 650 that i'm seriously considering adding one of these to.

The Antichrome · Aug 13, 2013

Whats the recommended die for seating and crimping in the same station?

CrtsHarris · Aug 13, 2013

Can you get deals on the dies also Tony? Was looking at getting one for 223, 9mm, 40, and 45. Now I just have to save up some cash!

The case mouth is belled at the charging station. The setup comes with a new (caliber specific) Powder Funnel that bells the case mouth & sizes the case neck enough so the bullet feeder can set the bullets into the case a little bit. This prevents the bullet from falling out of the case as the shell plate indexes.

So what you are saying is that or bells more? Or expands more? Or both? I'd be afraid of setback or in my case of revo bullet pull getting even worse than it already is.
