JFlowers Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Does anyone build a bullet feeder for the 550? Or has anyone successfully adapted a 650 bullet feeder like the KISS or GSI to their 550? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspian_45 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 You should be able to use the KISS if you go to a seat/crimp die. You will need to use station 3 for the KISS and the 4th station for the bullet seater/crimp die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Cheely Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) You're killing me. Honestly, if you're going to get a bullet feeder, and a case feeder for a 550. You really should just upgrade to the 650. Edited January 11, 2009 by Matt Cheely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Matts right ...... if you got enough $$$ to be thinking about gettin' a KISS bullet feeder, you can afford to upgrade to a 650. You wont be sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks Guys. My 550 already is setup with the casefeeder. The advice that the cost of a KISS or GSI would be better spent upgrading to a 650 platform first is what I needed to know. Matt, that bullet feeder is already in production and works well enough!

Ledge Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Has anyone ever tried to adapt a bullet feeder from a Lee Pro 1000 to a 550? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRak2000 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Has anyone ever tried to adapt a bullet feeder from a Lee Pro 1000 to a 550? The LEE unit might possibly work, but I think that since it would need to be mounted somewhere next to the shellplate, it might become a real P.I.T.A. when manually indexing the plate. Might be too awkward or something...who knows? Maybe someone will try it and report back to the forum. If it worked OK, then all you would need is a collator to feed it.

Ledge Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I guess that I'm confused about how the lee bullet feeder attaches to the press. I thought that it basically hung off the top side of the seating die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that it basically hung off the top side of the seating die. I just saw a video of the LEE unit and it appears that the feeder mount does attach to the seating die. I'd guess that the issue for the 550 would then be to see if the Dillon toolhead dimensions present any clearance problem for installing the LEE feeder mount. I'll bet someone on the forum has tried this and sooner or later you'll get your question answered. (I must have been actually visualizing the MA Systems unit...oh well DUH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
