shooterDrew Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So after reading some threads my question about which bullet feeder to get is pretty much answered... Mr BF... sounds like its pretty heavily favored even tho the GSI BF has some strong plusses. So this brings me to my final question.. Do I really want to drop the coin on one at all? I have loaded about 15k this year on my 650, probably 13,500 of 9mm. At the start of the year I did not even have a case feeder. Adding the case feeder was AWESOME. Had I known the difference I would have ordered it originally with my press. Is the bullet feeder the same in that respect? Most people seem to love them, but I've seen some reviews that are take-it or leave-it. Heading into the cold season I'm going to try and get as far ahead in my loading as I can, so if this will make loading considerably easier/faster I'm down for giving it a try. What say you, Mr Bullet-Feeder owners? Worth the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 They are faster and less work, the MBF forces you to loose your powder check die or seat and crimp at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnote Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) You will like the improvement almost as much as the case feeder. Your only concern is to look in each case after every pull, which u should be doing anyway. Good addition Edited October 27, 2015 by cnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshidaex Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I don't have one but I read the rifle bullet feeder is bit more difficult to get adjusted 100%. The pistol feeder seems easier to get adjusted properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark R Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 After reloading on a 550 for the past 20 plus years, I finally broke down and purchased a 1050 and Mr Bullet Feeder...every time I touch it I wonder why in the hell I didn't do it 20 years ago. Yes, MBF is worth every penny of the $500. Tip: the MBF bullet dropper has to stay vertical throughout the drop, else it will double. I got a 5/8" clamp and tie wrapped it to the powder reservoir...works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eern Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I would add Hornady into your list. Mine works great and I use if for both jacketed and coated lead. Both feed through great and changing over to different calibers takes minimal effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S. Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Don't they have trouble with cast bullets? That's 95% of what I shoot. I've read they work OK with plated or coated bullets, but I still have a few thousand cast bullets to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) MBF is like High speed internet or a DVR. You can certainly do without but once you get it there is no turning back! Ha! Thanks Herb! Edited October 28, 2015 by Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvsmith Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Up North here they call it High Speed Internet, you Southern boys have your own dialect, and yes a MBF is worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterDrew Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Actually no. From CED. But shooters connection is a better idea since they sponsor so much. Cancelled my CED order and now shooters connection order is placed. Even better: they've got one in stock!

Butterpuc Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I don't regret buying mine at all, worth every penny. If I were to buy another reloader, I would buy another MBF too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Sarge Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The only advise I will add is DON'T buy the mini mr bullet feeder, I would have been better flushing that $147.00 down the toilet for what I've experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 yeah the benefit in any bullet feeder is really in the collator. when I first got mine I was lazy as shit and just bolted it on. it was only about 95% working (5 in 100 bullets upside down). I wasn't that happy and kind of underwhelmed. Then I spent 30min figuring out what needed adjusting and setting it up. it's now 100%. I get maybe one upside down every 500 or more. Now I'm super happy. no left hand cramp. just pull the handle and watch ammo come out the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
