HesedTech Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 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! https://leeprecision.com/inline-bullet-feed-35cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconNav Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 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: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/new-lee-inline-bullet-feeder-rotary-magazine-for-spp-pro-6000-beta-testing.913099/page-6 https://www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/New-Lee-inline-bullet-feeder/42-543263/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckham Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 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. https://store.cleartecpackaging.com/clear_en/hw.html?Item=PRT00006&Nominal_Size=0.37500&Length=48.000&_ga=2.11967988.1786760764.1687977666-736570453.1686577406&_gac=1.15347012.1686577972.CjwKCAjwhJukBhBPEiwAniIcNSZNMoAh2VUsJSZkznqVhFAwtg1E7pnZ0tTv_ip9pIgZB6jZmi6JbxoCEQIQAvD_BwE The first image shows the difference between the stock 13” Lee magazine and the modified Lee 24’ magazine.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beltfedgoodness Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 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.

ReconNav Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cltpewpew Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonesurf Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
