Cuz Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Looking to add a bullet feeder to my RL1100 and I was just wondering it the DAA Mr. Bullet Feeder was the only game in town, or if there were alternatives that were just as good or better. I never hear of any, but figured I'd ask before spending the money. Thanks, Cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 There are others but none are as good as MBF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnipTheDog Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 You can buy them off of ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bullet-Feeder-for-Dillon-XL650-XL750-by-SD-9mm-40SW-and-45ACP/323983453561?hash=item4b6eeb2d79:g:4R4AAOSwbdVfEHaB No idea if they work or not, but there is a 3d printed model out there that many are made from.

Intheshaw1 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 DAA has a good black Friday sale going on right now, so if you're thinking about buying one now is probably the time to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donald Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Bullet feeders are pretty fussy to get running 100%. Even the Mr. Bulletfeeder requires a bit of playing with to get it perfect, but you can get it running perfectly. The other companies that try just don’t come close.

jubi351 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I've loaded over 7k 125TC, 125, 135, 160RN and 125HAP bullets with a Karl Bibb bullet feeder with no issues other than adjusting the nose guide for different profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHI Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 on sale right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Yeah, their Black Friday sale is the best price I've seen in a while. That's why I asked, I just wanted to see if there was anything comparable before spending the money. I wish I hadn't spent $50 on the bullet tray when I ordered my press 3 months ago. Dillon was smart to send that out right away. I think it's too late to return even though I haven't received the press yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlapid216 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 This won't help you now since they're out of business, but I've had great success with my GSI bullet feeding system. Their only crux was their collator. I frankensteined the GSI head with a MBF collator and haven't looked back. Their head allows me to add a powder check/lock out die in addition to a bullet feeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneEasy Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Check out Karl Bibb's reloading stuff on FB, half the price and can't say I have any regrets. Only reason to go MBF is if you're looking for more capacity e.g. the MBF Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To mount on a bullet sizing press(star). The tray comes in handy to lay things on - tools , set up cases, bad rounds that you spot, adjustment shims ,etc. Next if you decide to load a bullet that will not collate you'll need the tray. Later on you start loading a different caliber that you don't have the feeder set up for you'll need the tray. Or you could (most likely) return it .
