and yet another rotation in "As Rich's Reloading World Turns"....
I have to say....this aftermarket bullet feeder is THE BOMB! (Double Alpha Mini Mr. Bullet Feeder)
thing doesn't look like much, but work like a dream - almost zero failures (to drop a bullet properly) and it has six tubes that holds about 17 bullets each (plus about 7-8 additional bullets in the first tube where it aligns on press).
I HAD the Hornady bullet feeder which requires a separate feeder die for each caliber and then bullet tubes (which is a single tube). I returned all of the ones I had (one for each caliber)
I can load the entire thing in a couple minutes and then it saves quite a bit of time hand placing each bullet. It is suited for both 357 and 9mm. (They do make a different ones for .40 and 45)
I think it was about $130 which seemed a bit pricey relatively for what it is, but IT WORKS like a dream and is a time saver. Once you empty each tube, you simply rotate to the next tube in 2 seconds - no adjustment, no pulling it off the press. Very simply and effective. I was hesitant to buy it, but after reading everyone raving about it (who purchased one) I bought one.
The Hornady feeder dies cost about $35 for each die plus another 45 ish for the tubes (which are alum), so for about what I would have paid for 9mm and 357, in the Hornady, I got this and it works really well (only used for 9mm so far)
Still can't find the damn shell plates for .223 and .308 so I have yet to load any rifle ammo (not that I am in a hurry)
I have loaded the 357 mag and 9mm so far. Might have to fire up the 45ACP during Christmas break (Ho Ho Ho)

Rich, what are you loading .223 for? As in what rifle... and why bother for such an inexpensive round
