sasquatch981 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 So on the double alpha page when you by the "kit" it comes with the dropper die, the magazine, and a powder funnel to "flare" the case. Is this some sort of special powder funnel that is different than the dillon one I already have? I mean I already flare the case to seat the bullet. Can I just buy the magazine and die, and call it good? Or do I really need the special powder funnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSHMJ Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The powder funnel flares the case mouth a little more so the bullet doesnt flop out of the case as the shell plate is moving to tje seating position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGRIDER Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 MBF powder funnel is same design as Uniquetek, Photo Escape, etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The Mr Bullet powder expander. Expands the case more so the bullet will set in the case. The Dillon expands less and flairs more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGA Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 On the left the Dillon funnel and on the far right the MBF funnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, with the Dillon I get coated bullets that fall out. The Mr Bullet Feeder was better, but not perfect. The Uniquetek expanded the case too deep, and removed all case tension. I could literally seat the bullets by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokeman Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) I use the Dillon 9mm expander with the bullet feeder I 3d printed. I just took it a little deeper for a bigger flare. I use the mini MBF bullet dropper. Edited November 18, 2021 by Kokeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you have received the wrong powder funnel? https://www.uniquetek.com/product/T1736 Been using the MBF/Photo Escape funnels for a long time with JHP and coated lead, and never experienced loss of neck tension....... Shared my experience in this post/thread, and yes I was seating the bullet by hand but only deep enough to tamp the bullet: https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/205711-fix-for-shaving-lead-bullets/ Edited November 18, 2021 by HOGRIDER sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) he(Ysrracer) has this in .358 to load .358 coated bullets in either 9mm of short colt. https://www.photoescapeinc.com/products/9htc-ptu.html I ordered the .357 but have not used it yet. This is to load for a 929. That uses .358 bullets. Edited November 18, 2021 by AHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
