New Lee Bullet Feeder Die

[HesedTech]

As usual Lee has come out with a new product, an all steel bullet feeding die. While I already have my share of Mr. Bullet dies this looks like a new economical alternative to the MBF die. If someone purchases this please give the readers of Enos a review, especially how its works with coated bullets.

 

Thank you!

I am considering this, as an alternative to the Mini Mr Bullet Feeder, or SoCal Mag-P.  These are the only reviews I've found:

I have the Lee Inline Bullet Feeder Magazine Medium 30/35 cal. The only downside is that each tube only holds 23 bullets for a total of 115 bullets per magazine. I usually load 1000 per sitting on my new XL750. This would mean that I would have to 9 magazines to load 1000.

I found some tubes that matched the spec on the tubes from Lee 48 inches in length that I could cut down to 24 inches. The company was nice enough to send me a sample piece and it worked. I purchased their minimum order of 50 pieces for $62.30 plus $37.30 shipping, plus $5.43 tax.

The 24 inch tubes hold 41 bullets for a total of 205 bullets per magazine.

I plan purchasing a total of 5 magazines.

Have you tried this with coated bullets?

 

I'm using Blue Bullets 135gr TC, and figured I could get the kit, and three extra magazines, for a total of four. That would all cost less than just the Mini Mr Bullet Feeder kit, without spare magazines.

 

Thanks.

Definitely interested

Coated: I tried it on some SNS 147 coated bullets and it worked.

No return springs needed on that bullet feeder die ! Looks impressive.

I’ve also been using these on 9mm and 45, PC, cast and lubed and jacketed all work great. 
 

life hack for those of you with a 3D printer is that the “mags” are  easy to make and cheap.

Can you point to the files for printing the mags?  Also, where are you getting tubes?

 

I don't have a 3D printer, but the local library does, and its free to print stuff there. So I might try this.

I finally tried this out, and it works great.  I will admit, I was skeptical, but for $55, I figured I'd try it out.  I'll get some more mags, so I can preload up enough tubes for a typical reloading session.

I have 2 of these dies to load different bullet profiles so I don’t have to adjust the ball bearings. Both are coated bullets, a round nose and a flat point.  They work great  in run a bullet feeder with them rather than the tubes. 

[Bonesurf]

have it for 223/556.  works smooth. no issues.  to be honest, it's more reliable than the mini MBF I'm using for 9mm.  the capacity of the tubes if fine for me.  if I have a complaint, its that the tubes should come assembled.  its a minor thing but the "magazine" should come preassembled the way the MBF one does.  otherwise, it works better IMO/E
