ysrracer Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 This is with out a doubt the best accessory for a Dillon 550. It replaces the die in station 3, and drops a bullet on every stroke. You can load up the magazine in advance with 100 bullets. It's really a time saver !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought two extra magazines, and load them while I'm watching TV. The thru-put is so fast, I'm amazed when it's out of bullets already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschweg Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I probably would have added one by now, but I've never had great luck with combined seat/crimp dies with coated bullets.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschweg Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Case feeder not bullet feeder. Its been delayed a bunch of times, but they are supposed to be coming out with a case feeder for the 550 in the 120ish price range that uses the preloaded tubes much like the mini bullet feederSent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lroy Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 This work with coated bullets? Was thinking of either this or a Bibb feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 @ysrracer don’t ever play with a 650/1050 with the motorized MrBulletFeeder. This setup is neat, but I made that mistake... Immediately ordered a $400 MBF for the 650. ...A few months later, I had a 1050 with a bulletfeeder on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kema Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It's love when you have fully dialed MBF and autodrive with right amount of case mouth expand on every case. What I have learner - With mixed range brass more expand is better than less(some very hardened cases, nontox) - If bullet does not seat, it's usually a cracked case - Toss almost all stackable plates out of MBF when using 9mm bullets - Regularly check if bullet has slipped off from feeder plate to interfere with bullet rotation - Use rubber band on bullet drop die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I also started with a mini on my 650. I really liked the ease of use. Turning the magazine after each stack of bullets gets old after a while. Then...I got the MBF and life was good. If you like the mini, then you'll love the MBF.

There were multiple times when I forgot to turn the magazine and end up dumping the case of powder into the bin. I had since bought an MBF and had it rig to feed both 1100 and 650. Just need to sell the three magazine I had now. Edited September 23, 2020 by George16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kokeman Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I got one last week. It is awsome except for loading the cartridge. So I started 3D printing a bullet collator. I should have it done this weekend, if Amazon delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
