Dirtchevy841 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Anybody have one. Thinking of getting one for my second 650 instead of another mr bullet feeder being I don't use it very much except for custom stuff. Was wondering if it hit the powder drop any being its in the 3 rd station next to it. Looks like the tubes for the mini should clear it but don't know. Let me know before I order.

Top Sarge Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I have one that has been collecting dust for the last year. I can manually feed bullets faster than loading those tubes, I am going to purchase the real thing in the near future for my XL 650. I hope it meets your needs if you purchase one.

Service Desk Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I use a couple on 650's and love'em...... But I love the two MBF's on my 1050's even more ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks guys. Yeah love my mbf on my 650. 2nd 650 I don't use as much for volume so that's why I am going with the mini on the 2nd 650. Thanks again will be ordering today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 There is another option. Get the Hornady dropper die - it is only about $25... and add a plastic tube on top. You will get pretty much the functionality of MBF Mini for much less. I have these on a couple of my rarely used 650 tool heads. I have acrylic tubes about 2' long.

This is what I have and they work fine. I have 45; 9mm; and 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwikel Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Could you get the MBF dropper and plate for the cal you want to run and move the MBF collator from one 650 to the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dansedgli Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I swap my proper bullet feeder between 2 presses. Its quicker than loading those tubes. The collator doesn't need to be tight so it just lifts off. I have the dropper die on both presses. Unscrew 1 allan key for the tube. Lift off, place on. Screw in the allan key.

BostonBullit Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 My mini feed assembly has been sitting in the box for a long time, I find it easier to just drop a bullet into the top of the die than load up the entire assembly. The die holds a few extra in case I don't get one in there for some reason. For me it's quicker than placing the bullet on the case and making sure it's not crooked. On the Hornady die - unless they've changed the design or spec in the past 3yrs you'll need to modify it if you're using coated bullets. It worked great for me when I was using jacketed but I needed to switch to the DA when I started using coated bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Just waiting on it now. Gonna give it s try. Seems like my best choice for my needs. Didn't feel like switching back and forth my mbf to each press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimms Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I got just the dropper die. Very convenient. No need to look at it and can place the bullet on top of it just by feel. Thats as fast and least work as it gets without the full thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino2212 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I have used the mini version a while works great , filling the tubes is mutch easier than placing a bullet every time . I now have build my own collator and still use the dropper die and powder funnel that came with the mini . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well got it in ups today. It's a lot smaller than what it looks like in pics on website. Looks pretty cool so hopefully it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Set it up today. Works great for what I need. Works just like the mbf but for 1/4 of the price. Mag tube holds 104 40 cal bullets. It's exactly what a need when loading my match Ammo for uspsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyOverUnder Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 There's a few that hate them and have them "collecting dust". Anyone of you guys want to get rid of it? 9 or 40 Message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 I can say I like it a lot. For what it is it works awesome. I like that you don't have to place Bullets on cases. Not that putting them in was hard. It's just nice not to have to use that hand all the time. Just pull handle and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanks Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 My view on it (brand new 650 user) is that I like being able to look and see powder in the case. Also, being left handed it is no biggie to keep feeding the machine bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
