Bullet Feeder Calibers?
Quote from ecarfar on August 4, 2025, 2:16 amI just got my Bullet feeder last week and immediately processed 1400 rounds of 45ACP. Virtually no problems. I think one of the last bullets fed upside down, one of the 400 XTP flat nose bullets I made. The 1000 round nose ones had zero issues. I figured since I had it set up for 45ACP, let's do a few hundred 44 Magnum. I kind of assumed that since the bullet diameters are so close, the feeder would work with both. Nope. I'm pretty sure they would feed into the spring tube correctly from the bin but when I tried to set up the bullet dropper, the bullet simply fell though. I think it would be great if Dillon made caliber specific dropper tubes and powder funnels for calibers that are close but not exactly the same so those are the only two items that need changing..
