bullet feed

I use the die only on my 650. I have made an adapter to allow use of 3/8 or 1/2 " tubing (1 tube only, no magazine). I preload about 4 tubes that hold apprx. 25 to 30 bullets each. .38 or .45 (2 dies required). I'm retired & like to run batches of 100 rnds so it's not fast - but works for me. PM me if you would like some pics.

sounds very neat what you have come up with but I have already gotten the mini-feeder and bought the extra mags from Larsen so I think I am good. 5 mags with 100 each so I can sit down and do 500 at a time which works well. I have 10 primer straws so if I want to reload the mags I can do a batch of 1000 hopefully pretty quickly.

I finally got time to setup the mini-bullet feeder. It works great, I did replace the powder sensor and stayed with the two station seat and crimp. It took a little while to get the powder funnel set just right and not sure it is as deep as it should be but the bullets sit in the mouth of the brass and ride fine over to the seating station so will try it for a while and if necessary do some more adjusting later.
