Question about a Bullet Feeder

[DBlue]

I'm loading 9mm on a Dillon 650, the bullets I'm using are the RMR 124gr. flat point Matchwinners....would these bullets be a problem using a Mr. Bullet feeder ?

 

Thanks, 

Don

Not at all.  In fact, they are some of the smoothest bullets I have put through my Mr Bulletfeeder.

Thanks very much for the reply......I'm looking forward to using the bullet feeder.....:)

The Mr. Bulletfeeder should feed really anything you put through it. Only bullet I ever had problems with out of it was some Extreme 9mm HPs that I had once. They didn’t want to drop correctly out of the die.

The MBF can be adjusted if a particular bullet has issues. I use Montana Gold JHP’s but experimented with some Precision Delta JHP’s and was getting about 5% upside down. Adjusted the cardboard thingies and never another problem

I normally load Blue Bullet 147 gr. but found a box on over 1,000 Montana Gold 124 JHP. I didn't tweak the collator, maybe 1 out 200 drops upside down. The Blue Bullets drop less than 1 in a 1,000 upside down.

If the MBF is really dialed in to the bullet you're using it will never drop an upside down bullet. I mounted mine on a tube on the bench and can lower it and watch it work. Once you can see exactly what it's doing it can be made foolproof.
