jerzeydevil77 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm trying to decide between Mr. bullet feeder, and the Hornady bullet feeder for my xl650. If anyone here has, or has tried either one or both would you please weigh in with your experience. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I've got a Mr. B and love it. I wish I'd known that the prices were gonna come down when Double-Alpha took over the manufacturing process.....You lucked out on pricing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I just got my Mr. Bulletfeeder last week and only have been able to reload about 500rnds, so far it is the cats meow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Just got a new model Mr Bulletfeeder myself. It's like high speed internet. I don't know how I lived without it. I have never even seen a Hornady feeder so I can't comment other than what has been written on here. I think one thing about it is that it runs constantly because it does not have a microswitch to shut it off when the bullet drop is full? But to be honest my 650 is so fast now with the MBF that it never shuts off either. I think the MBF is probably the better choice. You can do a search here and read plenty about the pros and cons of the various bullet feeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torogi Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 with Mr. B, I can run 100rds in 4 min on a 1050. Got mine 2 weeks ago. Get it here at SC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael b. Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Always the contrarian, I got the RCBS for an amazingly low price. The die is lacking so I switched it our for the Hornady die. The plastic feed tube on the RCBS doesn't fit into the Hornady die. Since the height of the RCBS is adjustable, I took out the plastic feed tube, lowered the collator, and run the feed spring directly into the die. Works great! ETA I also painted it blue to match my 650. Edited August 14, 2012 by michael b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbs007 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) 100 in 4 min lol any powder left in the shells after that thrash........? There's actually a video on YouTube loading 100 rounds on a 1050 with Bullet feeder under 4 minutes at a normal pace.

Braxton1 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Got mine Tuesday and will install it this weekend... stoked! What is this "will install it this weekend" crap?!?! In my house, everyone knows "If the UPS guys shows up, say good-bye to Bruce for the evening".... In my life, there are few opportunities for instant gratification. "New gun stuff" is one of those opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you... and it's the same here 100% Just finished mounting the presses on a new reloading table, started mounting the bullet feeder last night and should be humming tonight!

Tom Freeman Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 4 minutes for 100 rounds is easy. The primer machine just hums away in the background trying to keep up. I put a Mr Bulletfeeder on two of my 1050s. Money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevoTT Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I will second the benefit of the MBF. Just put the "new" version on my 9mm 1050, and don't know how I lived without it. So far fed MG 147, Berrys 147, Speer 124's, 6000 total, without having to change any settings. Can't wait till the rifle version comes out, and 4min/100 is not really flogging it with a RF100.

BeltFed Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I've got a Mr Bullit Feeder and I love it. However, mine is an older one just before the Double Alpha, and looks the same but different from the new Double Alpha Mr. Bullit Feeder. Does anyone know if the new DA conversion kits will work with the model of Mr BF that proceeded the DA? I would like to add a .38/9mm conversion to my .40/10mm Mr. BF. I just don't know if the new collator plate will fit the older collator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Got my Mr Bullit Feeder last week and set it up Saturday. I have it on a 1050 and it is unbelievabl how much difference it makes. I will never load again without one. Seriously considering the purchase of another one for my 650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Can the MBF not be mounted on a Dillon RL550B? Thinking of buying this as my 1st reloader....that or an XL650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
