Nemesis Lead Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 My Mr. Bulletfeeder feeds about 1 bullet per 25 upside down. What are the fixes for this? I let a friend borrow my manual. I have to stop letting people borrow things....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Get a ladder. pull off the spring from the bullet feeder assy so you can let the bullets fall into a small box. Pour bullets in the hopper and let it run. Just watch it and then you can mess with the caliber insert and adjust it until you don't have any issue. Make sure not to over fill the collator as well. Good luck. DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. DougC Agreed. When I watch it turn it's pretty easy to see when/where the bullet is flipping or not flipping. I noticed mine will drop the occasional upside down bullet only when I run BBI Flat points through it. Must be the contour. But since I run 99% MG JHP's and they drop perfect I am not messing with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellM Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I had a similar issue which turned out to be caused by the bullet feeder moving around with the press, I made a rod that attaches about half way up the case feeder mount and attaches to the reloading bench to keep everything solid. Does it do it if you are just watching the bullet feeder do its thing and not actually loading ammo? Edited November 25, 2014 by RussellM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cslafrain Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 There are spacers and adjustments that can be changed to make it work properly. There is a screw on the underside where a slide adjustment is and spacers used to change the drop depth. Took me about 30 seconds to get it running 100%.

Foxbat Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The ramp adjustment is important, but I also had the situation when a batch of bullets were greesy, and they would not slide down freely in the disc's cogs. Sp they would sit high, not engaging the ramp. Once I took the disc out and cleaned its cogs, it started running fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I have a KISS and if I load 124's I had that problem. I turned the BULLET NOSE GUIDE clockwise about a 1/4" and the problem went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
