Bullet feeders???

[davide montini]

So folks what bullet feeders do you have
And why did you go with that brand
Did you mix and match
I'm asking cause I'm toying around with the idea of buying a bullet feeder for my xl 650
Any thoughts thanks

Never found the need really..

I put a Mr Bullet Feeder on my XL650. I found it really increased my production throughput. I can do 100 rounds in under 3 min's. I now only focus on visually checking station 3 to make sure I have a good powder charge, and the push stroke to make sure I got a good/new primer seated.

It is one more thing to tinker with and adjust when you want to run a different calibur though, so I ended up getting a 550B as well to run other calibers.

While they may make reloading less physically taxing as all you have to do is pull the handle I don't think you'll see any appreciable increase in your output per hour. You can pick up and place a bullet just about as fast as the bullet feeder will do it.

The other issue is that you're going to have to commit to using only jacketed or plated bullets as the lube on cast bullets will just gum up the works.
