Hello to all my viewers and subscribers! Here's the new Double Alpha Academy Mr. Bulletfeeder GEN 2! Let me know of any questions! Thanks for all your support!
What is your die setup? Are you using the short powder bar? Counter isn’t on armonov website. Great video. I also noticed sensors or something clamped on case feeder tube, what are they? On off to feed cases?
Thanks for watching! Here's the link to the set up I have: th-cam.com/video/wq2F-r7gZhw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/qXwLPFB9Ow8/w-d-xo.html There are 2 parts. Check them out and let me know of any other specific questions!
Thanks for watching! That's a great question, and the answer is yes. The mount will work on either side of the case feeder. You'd just set up the hanger portion of the mount 180 degrees to the way I have it, and it'll work great. It comes with enough spring that goes from the feeder to the counter/die body that you'd have plenty of length. I actually had to cut off about 1.5" of the feeding spring/tube so the bullets would have a straighter shot into the counter tube/feeding die.
Thanks for watching and your question! Here's the link: www.doublealpha.biz/us/ced-reloading-machine-mirror-complete-unit It comes in 2 sizes and I purchased the smaller size since I just needed it over my bullet feeder and not my case feeder. It is nice that you have the option for 2 sizes.
Thanks for watching and your question! Yes, they come off easily and the spring actually 'threads' into the plastic adapter. That way it's easy to cut the spring shorter if you need to and then just rethread it into the plastic piece.
Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, I have not tried to reload 223 since I purchased the new Gen 2 feeder. Of the 3 calibers I purchased, I've just done 9mm. You should contact Saul at DAA. Here's his email: "Saul Kirsch"
Thanks for watching! Yes, the case feeder comes with the springs you need. It's caliber dependent, so if you get the 9mm version, you'll get the larger spring, 9mm bullet plate and feeding tube, and a 9mm bullet feeding die. I got both springs because I load 9mm, 40 cal, and 223 Rem. The smaller spring is really only used with small rifle calibers
Thanks for watching and your question! It's an old LED sewing machine light with a magnetic base that I had in an upstairs closet. I think you can find them on Amazon, etc. if you do a search for LED sewing machine lights and specify a magnetic base.
Thanks for watching and your question! That’s the Armanov counter. They make some great products. Here’s my review of the counter: th-cam.com/video/ffPii-HJaUg/w-d-xo.html. Let me know what you think. There are some tricks that I can tell you about. On the XL750 when a finished 9mm (not 40 cal or 223) cartridge hits the metal ramp sometimes it’ll bounce over the sensor, so for reloading 9mm with that counter, put a strip of electrical tape over the part of the ramp that contacts the cartridge. That stops the bounce.
first of all your talking about a dillon, theres more people that own a hornady and lee then an expensice waste of money dillon, so unless your hust talking to the dollon users, the powder check die is a great thing especially on other presses with no failsafe rod, if u dont clean your powder measure on any press they get gummed up with powder residue and they stick, so once again if your gonna spend 1000 on a dillon it better suck your pecker as well. for that money
Yeah, not really. USPSA magazine had a breakdown of the most popular reloader (for people who are competitive shooters and need large volume perfect ammo) and 90%+ use Dillon. Most people I know get rid of their Hornady for a Dillon and no one uses Lee. My entire set up (minus the bullet feeder) was $1,500 and paid itself off after just 2 years of use. Plus, Dillon has THE BEST customer service. A part breaks, I call them (and get someone on the phone right away), and I get a new one 3 days later only because of shipping time from AZ to MI.
Haha, salty much? Anyone who is a shooter knows to buy Dillon. You will waste your money on the other shit only to end up buying Dillon later. The most newb comment I have seen….
Nice job - thanks for a great review. It answered a lot of my questions. Thanks

Great vid. Would that work if mounted on the right side of the casefeeder? I’m a little limited in my workspace and it would need to go on the right.

@@docgsreloading7985awesome! Thanks!
Do you have a link to the mirror you use?

The plastic adapter/connector on the spring, do they come off easily or are they fixed?
Thanks for watching and your question! Yes, they come off easily and the spring actually 'threads' into the plastic adapter. That way it's easy to cut the spring shorter if you need to and then just rethread it into the plastic piece.
@@docgsreloading7985 perfect! My next question. Would you recommend the Mr. Bulletfeeder Gen 1/2 - Dropper Assembly or Pro Dropper Assembly?
Im having a terrible time getting 55gr .223 to feed currently. Have you been able to successfully get it running on .223?

Does the case feeder come with the springs needed? Can you list what it comes with?

What is the digital readout device?
Thanks for watching and your question! It's the Armanov digital round counter. I did a review on it:

What kind light it that?
