6. Setting up Mr.Bulletfeeder and Bullet Drop Assembly
There are a few adjustments that are critical on the Mr.Bulletfeeder to ensure that it is operating
properly, further details on this are in the Mr.Bulletfeeder user manual. We recommend removing the
Mr.Bulletfeeder spring and running the bullets into a bucket while making the bowl adjustments until the
proper adjustments are achieved. The spring tube assembly may need to be cut between the dropper
and the drop tube assembly to the correct length for your setup – this is largely dependent on where the
feeder is mounted on the case feeder.
There is a delicate interaction between the bullet dropper and the amount of brass flair provided by
expander die for pistol. Setting the right amount of flare is critical to reduce bullet topple and to ensure
proper bullet seating with every cycle. The expansion die should open the case mouth just enough for the
bullet to slip in – the bullet dropper will provide a slight amount of pressure which will keep the bullet in
place.
A way to check for properly adjusted case flair is to remove a round from the shell plate after the
bullet has been dropped (but not yet seated) and turn the case upside down. If the bullet falls out of the
case there is likely too much flare.
Adjust the bulletfeeder drop tube assembly so that a single bullet drops when it encounters a case. If
more than one bullet drops it’s likely the drop tube assembly is adjusted too low in the Tool Head.
