Snagged one up so I'm spending less time in the garage loading, and more time casting/coating bullets if I'm in the garage/spending time with the family. Initially I was drawn to the GSI system, but the mixed bag for that and the dependence on one bullet type led me away from it.
Instead I grabbed up the mr bullet feeder. I was planning on getting the mini kit with the rotary magazine, but I'd just be trading one bit of time for another and got the more expensive collator fed one. I'm very glad I did.
The unsung star of the show is the expander for the powder dump. It expands deeper into the case straight, with a minor bell. It allows for the bullet to be positioned vertically and not fall over when the press indexes.
All said the setup was easy, detailed photos will follow later. I can run the press a fair amount faster than in the video, but can't do it through a computer screen. The ammo is more consistent than hand placing the bullets as well.
