I bought a Mr. BulletFeeder when they first came out & have been using it until recently to make .38's. It has been VERY finicky, with lots of jams, bullets feeding upside down, etc. But, even with the constant adjustments & fixing, I would rather use it than not use it. For the short stretches when it's running problem free, I can really crank out some bullets, sometimes 100 bullets in less than 3 minutes. When they came out with the Gen2 Mr. BulletFeeder, I hoped it would be easier to live with & bought one. About the time I got it set up, (maybe a month or so ago?) I read about the Kevin Roberts version here on the wire. As it turns out, I have less bullets feeding upside down, but pretty much all of the other problems are still there. I'm comfortable there are those of you who have been better at tuning theirs than I am, but I do have those problems. And, if there's nothing better, I would rather use it than not use it for the times when everything is running smoothly & fast. If you're a Kevin Roberts user, what problems/irritations do you have? Does it jam from time to time? How often does it feed bullets upside down? Do the bullets jam when travelling down the spring chute? Just how good is it? If I spent money yet again & tried one, will I love it, or will I have the same love/hate relationship I now have? And, now Dillon has come out with one. They claim 65,000 bullets made without one upside down feed. I don't know just how problem free it is otherwise. If they have shipped any, & if you have one, some feedback would be appreciated. My wife & I shoot every weekend, year-round, & I make a LOT of bullets, so I like to utilize any time & energy saving processes & tools that I can. Thanks in advance!

I was griping weekend before last about filling the primer tube on my 3 Dillons & lamenting that I've heard too much negative feedback on the Dillon Primer sorter to make me buy one. I've been using the Frankford Arms Vibra-Prime for a few years now, & it kinda works when it's in the mood if it's having a good day. Better than the pickup tubes anyway. Kid Ray told me he got a Double Alpha Primer Sorter, & said it works great! Got one, & he's right! $200 & makes one of the least fun parts of reloading almost fun! Of course, I had to fiddle with it a little at first, but that's the requisite right of passage with new goodies. You can't just buy a thing & have it work perfectly out of the box. Fortunately, it didn't take much for it to run perfectly. I like it. You're welcome.
