jmorris Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Looks like the RCBS. $29 for the feeder die is pretty cheap. http://www.hornady.com/store/Lock-N-Load-Bullet-Feeder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryO Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Looks like there's no micro switch to activate the bullet feeder like Mr Bullet Feeder uses. I'm guessing it just keeps turning and when the spring tube is full of bullets all the way up more bullets just don't enter, or am I missing something?

I missed that but looks like you're right, Maybe they figure we will be faster then it is but if I'm able to come up with one think I'll add a piece of tube with a switch for $2.50.

Sandro Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hornady is such a good company, I am surprise Dillon does not have their own bullet feeder yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Ive got a 30% off coupon from them, I wonder how much cheaper it will be at retailers. Anyone see it at a retailer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Looks like it fixes one of the two common gripes I have heard with the RCBS. One is the plastic fingers in the die wearing/going out of adjustment. Hornady's looks more robust. The second looks like it might still be a problem. Which is that it doesn't look like it can keep up with a faster reloading rate. People don't want a bullet feeder because they are lazy, they want more loaded rounds for the same investment of time.

EEH Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I can't load but 100 rounds without stopping for primers--thats what stops everything--but I like the looks of the feeder-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyC Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 It says no lead and that is all I shoot so I guess I'm out onthis one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Lead and or Moly might probably work, but require regular cleaning, just like the other bulletfeeders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown13 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Graf's has it up on their web site already. Shows as "out of stock" so I guess they are taking pre-orders. Their price is $245.00 for the feeder and $24.00 for the caliber specific dies. http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/search/keywords/bullet+feeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Bear Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It says no lead and that is all I shoot so I guess I'm out on this one. they are sending one out to a guy on glock talk to test with lead bullets.looks like a three week test. http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1282570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Lead and or Moly might probably work, but require regular cleaning, just like the other bulletfeeders MA systems builds one, i built one similar that I used on my cast bullet sizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angus6 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Lead and or Moly might probably work, but require regular cleaning, just like the other bulletfeeders MA systems builds one, i built one similar that I used on my cast bullet sizer I've got one from MA systems, it's not the cast bullet it's the lube that is the problem. I use a semi soft lube and if I get a few specks in the system it can foul things up. Talked with the gentleman from Mr. Bulletfeeder a while back and he suggested a dusting of mica if I wanted to feed lubed bullets to a press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtaylor996 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Wow, looks really nice. I'm concerned about the feeding rate, but other than that it looks really solid. I'll probably be getting one of those in the near future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Building your own collator will solve any speed problems and save a few hundred bucks. The deal breaker for me is no powder check die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Nukem Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The video shows no die in the 5th station. You can easily just put the powder check in the 3rd position, bullet feeder in the 4th and crimp die in the 5th. The deal breaker for me is no powder check die.

The bullet feeder does not seat the bullets as far as I can tell... Not using a separate crimp die from the seating die would be a deal breaker for me, but then I can probably live without the lock out die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I agree. The only feeder that lets you seat and crimp separately and retains the powder check die are the GSI's. That's why I use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 But GSI's are only for 650 and 1050 presses right? At least that's what I gather from their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWFAN Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I plan on calling Hornady to see if I can use a coupon I picked off a prize table.. If not, it looks like it may be cheaper when Grafs gets them in stock anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who did you order through, and who said first week of december ? I thought I was told by a buddy that Hornady told him Late winter Early spring.. First week of December would be sweet.. The wife said she's getting me a case feeder for Christmas, so now my casefeeder money can pick up one of these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
