I like how you go through the unboxing, showing the product in its entirety, show the setup and adjustments, and overall give your objective explanations of how the products perform. Great video on this accessory. It would be even more awesome if you could partner with companies to give a discount code for x number of units, say the first 100-500 ordered. That would help you find out how much of a reach they're getting, and help you determine your conversion rate for viewership, thus building your brand.
Will have to look into The bullet feeder and the powder check die. One thing you didn’t mention was cost. Will have to look into that. Great videos thank you for your time.
Hey Gavin, I have the same setup on a xl650 press. I had some issues with the bullet dropper not always reseting itself (dropping itself down after picking up a bullet). This would result in spilled bullets, not picking up the next bullet or seating the bullets too lightly without over expanding the brass case mouth. I fixed the issue by attaching a light tension spring from the top of the dropper assembly via a cap screw that replaced the set screw, to the bottom of the tool head through the tool head hole on station 3(the powder check station op rod hole) to a v shaped piece of wire that holds the spring from coming through the hole. I have my feeder setup on station 3. After adding the tension spring it has worked flawlessly. :-) I now noticed as I'm writing this that Mr. Bullet feeder now offers their fix with dual springs for this issue with their own tensioning kit. Now that i know this is avalible, I highly recommend it as it eliminates any issue with the bullet dropper reseting and will provide more force to the bullet pushing it into the case mouth. This will allow the brass to be minimally expanded saving brass life and keeping bullets from falling out/off the case when indexing to the next station. You can their product fix here: www.doublealpha.biz/us/dropper-tensioning-spring-assembly I love the setup as it works well for me. Thank you for the reloading content you create. Hope this helps. Happy reloading :-)
I love my Mr Bullet Feeder. Kind of a pain to set up but once you get it running it speeds up loading so much. I have the same exact setup as Gavin with the XL750, case feeder, and bullet feeder for 9mm, 223, 308, 45.
Can you do a video on different bullet feeders...pros, cons, different theory of operation, die comparison, pistol & rifle? Perhaps all the major players, Hornady, RCBS, double alpha??
Gavin, great videos as always, but if I may make a suggestion, your unboxing and such happen so far away from the camera it's often hard to see the details on closeups you are pointing out. Keep loading and Merry Christmas!
Would love to get a tour of Lyman’s place in Middletown I live close by and just purchased a mark 7 auto drive for my Dillion xl 750 with a mr bullet feeder ,nice job on your videos
Excellent videos and thank you for sharing with a newbie. Quick question. What are your preferences on powder check? The Double Alpha as in this video? Or the Dillon in other videos?
it's press independend but you will not have enough positions on 1000 as bullet feeder requires bullet feeding die. You can use collator without the DAA die and use Hornady bullet feeding/seating die instead, that will work too.
polish it slightly with some fine grained sandpaper or steel wool. Especially on the conic transition from expanding part to bell. had the same problem, this fixed it nicely. Do not overdo it!
I tried 3 different brand funnels: dillion, Double alpha, and shooting sports innovations. The only thing that helped was a little one shot lube on my brass.
@@mackies9151 That was the first thing I've tried (well, apart that I lube brass with lanolin mix anyway) and it didn't help much. Brass sticking problem has been solved only by polishing powder funnel. I have to tell that I had same problem with original Dillon powder funnel before I started to use bullet feeder, so it's not a problem of just Mr. Bullet Feeder funnel.
So given that .45 acp brass now can be found with small and large primers, does anyone have any modifications to the press to kick out one type and accept the other?
no and if you are not using powder check, you can crimp and seat in separate steps too. The only downside of seating/crimping in one step is that you can't use powder coated bullet (or it's not recommended) as bullet is being crimped while still die is seating it into proper depth, so it might shave the coating this way. But I think Lee or any other seating/crimp die would work the same way as RCBS.
not so. Certainly nice to have but not a must. Casefeeder is a must, true, but not bullet feeder. Personally I have bullet feeder set up for 9 mm and reload .45 ACP without it, not a problem.
@@ZhuJo99 why buy a progressive without a case feeder . Progressives are to save time and load in large amounts. I am talking about dillion xl presses. Buy once cry once. I loaded for years without a bullet feeder. No more fumbling small bullets like 9mm and 223
@@taps_1021 learn to read first, please. I was specifically talking about that BULLET feeder is NOT a must. Nice to have, not a must. Casefeeder is a must. But it depends. Dillon 550 is just fine without casefeeder, which I heard is even quite problematic on 550 and does not work for rifle cases.
@@ZhuJo99 this vid is about a bullet feeder. It is a MUST for me. No one is talking about a 550 and that a case feeder is a must. I had a 550 but needed to save time and needed higher volume. A 550 has its place.
@@taps_1021 yeah but you was talking about case feeder in a post above :). It really depends with bullet feeder. Definitely I can’t imagine to reload without it now, when I have it (3d printed). Especially those tiny .223 bullets are hard to handle by hand. But .45 ACP no problem, as I don’t shoot those that much, so making say, 500 in one sitting no issue and it goes pretty quickly even by hand. I have not bothered to buy another feeding die and funnel for .45 as a price of those can’t be justified by amount of it I reload this caliber. 9 mm, .223 sure. We have to recognize two things - nice to have and making whole process easier, and a must. Personally I use Hornady 1911 primer tube filler and that is a MUST for me. For somebody else, pickup primer pan would do just fine.
to reload faster and even more efficiently than originally. Mr. Bullet Feeder has nothing to do with Dillon, it's a completely different product produces by different company. And it works with any other progressive press.

Gavin you should use the correct wrench to tighten and losen the nut. The wrench you use will damadge the nut. 😜 DAA Has a Nice set😬
Incredible, thank you sooo much for showing how this works and how to set it up
Can you do a video on different bullet feeders...pros, cons, different theory of operation, die comparison, pistol & rifle? Perhaps all the major players, Hornady, RCBS, double alpha??
This I like! The Mr. Bullet Feeder is very ergonomic! It’s perfect.
Excellent that you for sharing whats involved with the caliber change over. Much appreciated!
I like these videos you can learn something new thanks Gavin 👍 marry Christmas to all
Thanks for the video. Maybe something I’ll look into some day. It’s a very nice setup.
Merry Christmas!
Gavin, great videos as always, but if I may make a suggestion, your unboxing and such happen so far away from the camera it's often hard to see the details on closeups you are pointing out.
Keep loading and Merry Christmas!
I just ordered my 5th DAA bullet feed die yesterday.
My dream setup
Would love to get a tour of Lyman’s place in Middletown I live close by and just purchased a mark 7 auto drive for my Dillion xl 750 with a mr bullet feeder ,nice job on your videos
Very nice video. About how many bullets do you need to do to before it's paid off? Or is the justification quality or cannot buy bullets...
Gavin, would Mr. Bullet Feeder work on a Hornady LNL Press?
Excellent videos and thank you for sharing with a newbie. Quick question. What are your preferences on powder check? The Double Alpha as in this video? Or the Dillon in other videos?
Nice video!!! Very interesting and informative... thanx!!!
I Luv All Videos I Learn So Much
Can you still mount the bullet feeder if you are not using the Dillon case feeder?
My DAA powder checker throws a ton of false alarms... its pretty annoying.
Hey Gavin, any update on the progressive press shootout? :)
Now I kinda wish I went with the XL750 instead of the hornady press.
Whats wrong with hornadys press if you don't mind me asking?
Where do you purchase your bulk reloading items? Thanks
Hi I'm looking at getting back into reloading. Cal. .357 mag, .270 win, 303/25, 12 gauge. What would be the best afordable set up.
Can I install MBF into the 3rd position on the 750? Also does the MBF special powder bars work for 223 & 308 powder charges?
Is the Mr. Bullet Feeder a universal fit for typical progressive loaders?
I'm curious if it'll fit and work on a Lee Load Master or 1000 model.
it's press independend but you will not have enough positions on 1000 as bullet feeder requires bullet feeding die. You can use collator without the DAA die and use Hornady bullet feeding/seating die instead, that will work too.
How did you get the shell plate holder to stop jumping and spilling powder out of the cases? This is a problem on my buddy's 650.
The XL-750 Has redesigned indexing, I think that helps!
Hey Gavin,can you give me the product # on that rcbs seat and crimp die been looking for one for my XL750?Thanks,would appreciate it....
I noticed that the cases stick on the funnel sometimes are you having the same problem?
polish it slightly with some fine grained sandpaper or steel wool. Especially on the conic transition from expanding part to bell. had the same problem, this fixed it nicely. Do not overdo it!
Thanks I’ll try it

I cant find the installation on bullet feeder from the start
That looks amazing. Wish I had the money to get a set up just like that. I would be happy then a fat rat in a cheese factory. Great video.
So given that .45 acp brass now can be found with small and large primers, does anyone have any modifications to the press to kick out one type and accept the other?
You have to pre-sort them. Don't have anything nice to say about that "great idea" of different primers in the same caliber case!
Gavin! I have a 650XL and I don’t see the difference.
Is it necessary to have an RCBS die in this setup?
no and if you are not using powder check, you can crimp and seat in separate steps too. The only downside of seating/crimping in one step is that you can't use powder coated bullet (or it's not recommended) as bullet is being crimped while still die is seating it into proper depth, so it might shave the coating this way. But I think Lee or any other seating/crimp die would work the same way as RCBS.
Its a Shame that you cant get a Mr bullet feeder to run .30m1 Carbine :(
How do the magnetic powder check dies work?
I'm sorry, but the B-roll of you reading the instructions... :)
If your gonna load on a progressive press the bullet feeder is a must to take advantage of the press
not so. Certainly nice to have but not a must. Casefeeder is a must, true, but not bullet feeder. Personally I have bullet feeder set up for 9 mm and reload .45 ACP without it, not a problem.

jealous... just jealous
Way to expensive
Bullet proof 🤢
Typical dillon its all about spending more money
