The Mini Mr.Bulletfeeder by DAA uses a 6-tube magazine system that holds roughly 100 bullets. It feeds into the same brilliantly reliable dropper die assembly as used on the Mr.Bulletfeeder.
Using a Mr.Bulletfeeder while reloading is a real pleasure. It makes the reloading process faster and much easier. If you have never used one, you are missing out on one of the greatest reloading assists out there!
A Bulletfeeder also improves safety, by preventing the need to insert your fingers under the tool head to place your bullets on the brass. Everyone should use one!
The problem, of course, is cost. Shooting is expensive, and reloading ammo, while usually cheaper than shooting factory, is not as cheap as it once was...
You need to buy a press, other reloading accessories, not to mention ammo components. For many, by the time all that is purchased, they have stretched their budget about as far as it will go. And the Bulletfeeder gets passed on, for lack of funds.
This was DAA's motivation when setting out to develop a less expensive version of the Mr.Bulletfeeder, and it leads to the New Mini Mr.Bulletfeeder.
Each magazine of bullet tubes needs to be filled by hand before reloading, much in the same way you would fill your primer tubes before starting your reloading session. With a little practice, it will take you about 2 minutes to fill the tube assembly. And this can be done in advance whilst watching TV in the comfort of your living room. Additional tube assemblies can be purchased separately (or as a bundle), thus allowing you to pre-load 300, 400 or more bullets before starting your reloading session.
While reloading, you will see the bullets drop down in the transparent tube, as they feed into the dropper-die assembly. Once a tube is empty, you simply rotate and click the next tube into place and keep reloading. Transition to the next tube takes just a second or two. Once the entire 6-tube magazine is empty, either reload by hand or drop your 2nd assembly into place to continue without delay.
The Mini Mr.Bulletfeeder can be used on any progressive reloading machine which uses the same size dies as Dillon, however, please note that the powder funnel supplied with the unit is designed to be used only in the Dillon powder drop! If you wish to use the Mini Mr. Bulletfeeder with another press, you may need to get another powder funnel to expand the brass.
Your Mini Mr.Bulletfeeder by DAA includes:
- 1 x 6-Tube Bullet Magazine
- 1 x Dropper Die Assembly
- 1 x Expanding Powder Funnel (Dillon compatible)
- 3 x Spare Steel Ball-Bearings for Dropper
- 1 x User Instruction Sheet
Notes:
- For use on the Dillon XL750, the DAA Extra-Short Dillon Powder Bar is required.
- Be aware that the bullet feeder does require a station in your tool head, directly after the powder dropper.
- DAA has found it difficult to use the Mini Mr.Bulletfeeder on a Dillon 1050 when a powder check is being used in the following station. THis has to do with the angle in which the powder dropper sits, forcing the bullet dropper to rotate further away, over the next station. This is an issue only on the Dillon 1050.
- The Powder Funnel supplied is only compatible with the Dillon reloading machines. If you require the DAA Mini Mr.Bulletfeeder to work with a Hornady LNL Press then the DAA Hornady LNL Powder Funnel is recommended.
- The Mr. Bullet feeder droppers cannot be used with Wadcutters. The feeder dropper requires a concaved top to the projectile to allow the feeder to only drop one projectile at a time. However, Semi wadcutters will work.
