WidowsSon683 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 If you could only have one accessory on your progressive press, what would you choose. A case feeder or a bullet feeder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 case feeder. No question. If you feed cases by hand, you have to take your hand off the handle. Bullets I feed with my left hand, keeping right hand on the handle. Saves movement, saves time. MLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuildSF4 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I would also say case feeder, and I don't have either... (Have a feed die for 45 that I am working with now...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Case feeder, for sure ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsDriver Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Case feeder. Setting the bullet by hand is the last opportunity to check for a correct powder charge. I wouldn't want that to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryLively Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Case feeder. I don't think I would even one a bullet feeder for the already stated reason, last check... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retread1911 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Another for a case feeder. I eventually added the bullet feeder and don't use it all the time even after bolting it to the bench. I cannot imagine reloading without a case feeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmo412 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I guess I'm the odd one here. Loading on LNL, I can grab a handful of cases with my left hand and feed the press. Bullets slowed me WAY down. I can do 800-900/hour loading 9 major without spilling a grain of powder with a Mr bulletfeeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenmonster Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Me too, case feeder. I saw a you tube vid of a guy making match .223 ammo, he used his case feeder and what looked like aquarium hose to feed them into loading trays/blocks to spray the cases with one shot lube. I've always just sprayed them in a cardboard box and shook me around a little bit before dumping them in the feeder, but looked pretty clean his way too.

pushpullpete Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'll side with Merlin but, I thank my wife that I have both. After all the research was done she said I had to get both. After 34 yrs she is obviously still a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'd rather have a pint-glass-holder than either one. I don't mind taking the extra time to peek at the powder, have a sip, pet the dog and do various other menial tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
