bullet feeder for 45 acp
Quote from 454Casull on April 30, 2025, 5:05 pmHas anyone tried the new Dillon feeder with lead 45 acp bullets? I shoot mainly lead and the bullet feeder will be a real time saver if it works with lead bullets.

Quote from The Human Manual on May 1, 2025, 4:19 pmNo problem if you are using polymer-coated lead bullets. If you are using lead bullets with conventional wax lube on them, the lube will scrape off into the coil spring that guides the bullets into the dropper die. You could remove this spring as the buildup becomes enough to prevent bullets from sliding through, and use brake cleaner to rinse out the wax buildup. Do not use any aerosol cleaners on the plastic switch housing! They will melt it. Instead, use a cotton swab and alcohol to clean the switch housing as needed.
