Lee inline bullet feeder

[Tomme boy]

Anyone see this? They have a bunch of different ones for different cal. These are kinda like the Mr. Bullets Feeder dies. I have the MBF one for my 9mm. It works perfect. This was the first I seen this on the Lee site. About time they came up with something better than that contraption they had.

You can size and fill the tubes first to put on your press

hmm.
never seen it, but if they work as advertised i might have to put the primer wheel back to stock on the 650.
with the case feeder and a stack of primer tubes sitting there i could work up a sweat running off a thousand rounds.

If it works like the MBF dies they will sell tons of them. I would really like to see inside one to see how they work. The MBF one uses 3 little ball bearings to hold and release the bullet one at a time. It also has two places to insert them for the length of the bullet being used. That way you order a 35 cal die and it works for all 9mm,380,38spec,357,350L.

Thanks for the heads up. If these turn out to work, I will be in on it too. Especially since you can set your Lee APP up to dump the sized bullets straight into the magazine.

Do you have a MBF, and if so, does it feed cast bullets very well? I remembered after posting this morning that I had bought a Hornady and RCBS bullet feeder die to play around with years ago. They worked flawlessly with copper jacketed, but it was hit or miss with cast bullets.

I think I still have those feeder dies. I will have to experiment with them again.

I've just been thinking about this since I saw your post. I wouldn't need it for most calibers, but it would come in handy for 38's and 45's which I tend to load in greater quantities.

Was it the lube, or the increased diameter that was the culprit? Or, were you using powder coated bullets?

It has been so many years, I don't remember the particulars. I just remember getting disgusted with them and throwing them into a drawer under my bench.

I think they fed things like cast 230gr RN .45's OK, but big SWC's were problematic.

I wasn't powder coating back then, so that wasn't the issue. Though the question behind your question is probably one of the contributing factors. Our cast bullets tend to be fatter than the copper jacketed stuff from the factory. I was looking at the Lee feeder product page this morning at the 38 caliber die and was relieved to see it was designed to accommodate bullets up to .360 in diameter. I need to go back and look at the 45 caliber die.

Out of curiosity I looked on Titan Reloading to see if they listed them yet. $36.25 for the feeder die isn't too bad.

And only $50.49 for the die and the rotary magazine. I don't remember how much the Mr. Bullet Feeder manual one was, but I think this is substantially cheaper.

Yes I have the MBF die. I have not used them with lubed bullets just powder coated. I could see them getting gummed up with lube and not working with a wax lube.

I have not tried to use SWC bullets in mine. But rnfp and rnhp have worked perfect. From 125gr to 200gr bullets I have used. This would be a good ? that Lee could answer.

I feed mine through a bullet collator I picked up from a guy that 3d printed them. It is a Ammo Mike design. It is nice not having to mess with handling the bullets. And just watch the press to make sure everything is what it is supposed to be as you load. I have to flip a bullet every now and then but that is it with the way I have it set up.
