Couple things I've learned - Getting up above the bullet feeder and watching it feed bullets into the top really shows you whats going on. I have to grab a step ladder to get above mine - its worth it though.
Also, you can set up and run the bullet feeder just to fill the tube up and watch it run/see what its doing (if any problems - upside down bullets, bullets falling off, etc.) Then when it fills the tube - you can adjust/change things, then back to bullet dropper - just lift up the collar of the bullet dropper with your cupped hand underneath and empty the whole tube into your hand and go back up and watch again/change things. Kind of a way just to run the bullet feeder alone without using your press. If I can fill it up again with no issues, its usually gtg to start running with the press.
