Mr Bullet Feeder: Why did I wait so long?

[Darby Darrow]

While waiting for my Dillon RL1100 to show up I added a MBF to my 650 and my quality of life improved tremendously!

If you have been on the fence I recommend taking the leap!

I really like mine especially for feeding cast bullets into a sizer. If the 1050/1100 had one more station to run the bullet feeder without loosing the powder check I'd have one instead of my lowly 650 as it is I think mark 7 may be getting my money soon.

Yup, pretty nifty.

Bought extra magazines so I don't need to interrupt my pace hardly. Just swap out the feeder magazine.

Yes pretty easy to visually verify on the 650 as it is right in front of you. I've purchased a bore cam to set up and verify on the 1100.

I've been thinking about one of these for a long time but have had a hard time justifying it.

I felt the same, but I am glad I did!

If I upgrade from the 650 it will be to automate. I trust a visual check when I'm pulling the handle not so much when a robots doing it.

Yah, same.

I didn't want to go with motorized case feeder either. I *think* I'd find such annoying (the sound), obviously don't know for sure tho.

Set up a lee universal case feeder with funnel on my Hornady Lock n Load. Had to modify it just a touch, cut off one side of the bottom plastic mounting parts. Use just one mounting bolt. Took just ages minutes to modify & mount.

This guy:

Lee Precision, Inc.. Universal Case Feeder

Lee Universal Case Feeder automates the case feeding operation on the Auto Breech Lock Pro, Pro 1000 and Load Master. Increases production and eases the reloading process.

Still have to grab a case move it over. Most times the case is oriented correctly allready. Easier than reaching into a hopper etc.

Between the lee case feeder, the Mr Bullet feeder & the progressive its as "automated" as I want to go...

Do above for 9mm.
