Cmax Arms I am not sure if you come here to read all the comments or not. First of all thank you so much for your video. It got my 9 mm all set up to rock and roll. You or anyone else can get a very good 3d printed case feeder for $110. It works like a charm and very easy to set up too. Again thank you for getting another fellow re-loader set up for the bullet feeder!
Very nice video, great instructions on how to set up the bullet feeder die. Much better than trying to figure out the instructions from Hornady. Thank you for making this video
Thank you for the great video. I am new to reloading and am now just setting up the press for the first time. It is a mechanical marvel, as the design of this machine is really something (awesome). Thanks again!
Great video thank you! Are you still using the original bullet tunes from the kit? I'm wanting to add a bullet feeder for my LNL press, but I'd like to be able to have about 100 bullets ready to go. So I can refill primers and bullets at the same time... Thanks!
nice video man! I'm trying to get my bullet feeder die to work for 45 acp and for some reason it won't allow the bullet to set on the case. I've checked the internal die to make sure collets are correct. I've checked the flare on the case. Just can't get the bullet to fall out of the die when the case is pushed up into it??? any ideas???
I watched this video and had no problems getting it to work. I did not flare as much as the Hornady directions indicated thinking I would just ad more if it was needed. It worked fine and have left it alone. I could not get bullets to feed after having no problem with the initial set up. It chewed up a piece of brass so I knew something fell out of calibration. I took it apart and discovered that bullets would not fall thru the upper collet. So I opened it up a little. I used a blade screw driver to open the collet. I gently pushed it into each gap just a hair. Now they fall thru the upper collet and wait in the lower collet for a case. I have read that the lower collet becomes loose and drops all your bullets over time. The solution is to press the collet back to a tighter grip. I am just dropping mine in manually at this time when I load a case on a turret press.
Nice Job! good video Just an FYI i had issues with my bullet feeder dripping 2 bullets instead of one. After hours of frustration a quick call to hornady let me know sometimes you may have to pinch the top collet together a bit and reassemble the die.
great video, I have mine installed a Lee Loadmaster for 9mm I'm using Extreme's 124gr rn bullets and everything would be going fine for the first 15 -20 rounds then one won't drop and I have to remove the tube and die. Has this been an issue for you and do you have a fix?
I also use xtreme 124gr RN plated bullets and have loaded thousands of them.... I keep a single chopstick.... when one will not drop, I will hold the tube in place with my left hand and use the chopstick to push up thru the die from the bottom and them pull it out allowing the bullets to drop back into the die, it pushes the bullets up in the tube and they realign.......if that does not work adjust the die...... thanks for watching Cmax
Hi C- Max one question I have on the Hornaday bullet feeder for 9 mm do you think you could use it up to 357 I know it says to go from 356 to 358 what’s your thoughts on that have you tried it to adjust the .357 case I’m trying to save some money I wand to try to save some money one item for Two calibers I’m sure I’m dreaming about .. what your thoughts on this are have you heard of anyone trying this out
Separate die for each caliber...... The bullet tubes do include several calibers.... The package states "380, 9mm, 38/357 Mag" and they offer a 40/10mm tube set and a 44/45 tube set. Thanks for watching....Cmax
+Cmax Arms liked your video, im doing 115 gr 9mm it seems that the bullets keep coming out 2 at a time or all the dam bullets fall out any suggestions?
Cmax Arms, I bought a Hornady Bullet Feeder. I reload 45acp's. I am having a lot of trouble with the bullet feeder. I watched your video and did everything you said. The bullets don't feed into the case. I called Hornady and they told me that I have to clean the collets is that true?. I have tried 230 Grn full metal jacket bullets and I am having the same problem. What do you suggest?.
You might have an RCBS lock out die which does stop the press but the powder cop will not stop the press. Powder cop will only flag the case if you have it adjusted properly. And if you miss looking at it you may end up with an overcharge or a squib load.
Followed these instructions to the letter. I am loading 45 acp. The PTX is expanding the brass case to 0,481. The bullet does drop, but it giggles as I cycle to seat/crimp die.
Contact Hornady tech support and see what kind of info they tell you. I think it needs to be redesigned for short cases like 9mm & 45acp for lack of adjustment.
I still have it, it works with 38, 357, 40, 45. but I could not get it to work with 9mm...the small tube piece that I had to make to "sleeve it down" to fit 9mm, I could not get it to work.
Oh great...more money to spend. I either forgot about the bullet feeder or never saw it before. I deprime/resize everything on a single stage for case cleaning reasons so I have some open stations.
Yeah, I know how you feel.....If you swage any brass.....got to see my video for the LNL AP Press....here it is; th-cam.com/video/jYKL3hrrpOs/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching.... Cmax
I didn't know they made such an animal, I'll check it out. On the way to work I got to thinking about how one would load bullets into the tubes in a timely manner?

Thank you and Thanks for watching.....I hope you check out some of my other videos......and contests.........Cmax
Thanks to your video, I was able to figure out the Hornady LNL Bullet Feeder!
Great information! This looks like a much better option than the big electric version.
Thank you for the great video. I am new to reloading and am now just setting up the press for the first time. It is a mechanical marvel, as the design of this machine is really something (awesome). Thanks again!
Just got my first bullet feed die in, wanted to find out how they work and how to set them up. Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video, I was looking at all my options and I don't want to go crazy expensive. You sold me on this one.
Great video thank you! Are you still using the original bullet tunes from the kit? I'm wanting to add a bullet feeder for my LNL press, but I'd like to be able to have about 100 bullets ready to go. So I can refill primers and bullets at the same time...

I quite agree with you about the RCBS die. Mine should be delivered tomorrow. Cheers!
Good job. Very well done. Excellent for a new reloader wanting to use the bullet feeder die.
Great video.

You are welcome...thanks for watching!
Thank you...very informative!!!

Thanks Chuck, I haven't had that problem yet.......That is good to know.......Thanks for watching!
Will this bullet feeder work with coated projectiles like 200 Coated Grn SWC? please let me know.
Are you using the lee factory crimp die in station 5?
I'd like to know who was the first guy to call it hornaday. People are adding an a. Hornady. Hornaday. Hornady
Good info.
,Very good video explaining process
Yeah but kinda boring.........I got to stop making early morning videos!

I have never tried it..i say go for it, let me know how it works.
Good vid. So is the same die used and different collets for each caliber, or do you need a separate die for each caliber?

I reload 9mm and .223 do I have to have a different feeder die for each caliber
I have one it is junk constantly adjusting it or bullets get stuck
anyone has it on a dillon 650 ? is it really important to use the expender ??? i will try it without the expender

I'm having the same problem.....bullet won't drop down on the case?? did you figure anything out??
@@neiljackson8313 Yeah I stopped using it.
I just recently bought the bullet feeder die for 9mm . I didn't receive a ptx expander or the bar in my package. So hmmn.
i have a powder cop and it stops the press if your powder level isn't right
You might have an RCBS lock out die which does stop the press but the powder cop will not stop the press. Powder cop will only flag the case if you have it adjusted properly. And if you miss looking at it you may end up with an overcharge or a squib load.
you can't always be an entertainer if teaching specifics
I have the PTX expander for 45 acp. It is a pain in the you know what. I gave up trying to use it
is it really a must ? I mean the dillon powder die does the same job right ?
only 38/357 die is avaiablable ... But does it work fine with 9x19 ?
Followed these instructions to the letter. I am loading 45 acp. The PTX is expanding the brass case to 0,481. The bullet does drop, but it giggles as I cycle to seat/crimp die.
Contact Hornady tech support and see what kind of info they tell you. I think it needs to be redesigned for short cases like 9mm & 45acp for lack of adjustment.
On mine it closes the flare from the powder measure and the bullet falls off when it indexes
I saw the rifle version also seats and crimps. The pistol doesn't?
XvREByrd3vX rifle one only seats and no the pistol version only drops the bullet.
What is the size of the o-ring?
Great video. Without it I would still be trying to decipher the horrible Hornady instructions.
:-)
I'm curious to what happened to the Bully
I still have it, it works with 38, 357, 40, 45. but I could not get it to work with 9mm...the small tube piece that I had to make to "sleeve it down" to fit 9mm, I could not get it to work.
Well...at least theres something out there to do the job for ya. And this opportunity for a new video =)
Oh great...more money to spend. I either forgot about the bullet feeder or never saw it before. I deprime/resize everything on a single stage for case cleaning reasons so I have some open stations.
Yeah, I know how you feel.....If you swage any brass.....got to see my video for the LNL AP Press....here it is; th-cam.com/video/jYKL3hrrpOs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching.... Cmax
I didn't know they made such an animal, I'll check it out.
On the way to work I got to thinking about how one would load bullets into the tubes in a timely manner?
you have 3 tubes, pre-fill or just keep adding bullest in one tube you have in the die.
I got the bullet drop die and it is a peace of junk the bullets stick, or release 5 at a time and go everywhere a waist of money
omg I wanted to say thanks for this but then I heard you say "Horni-Day".. cmon man.. its not even spelled that way.. HORN UH DEE
Diese US Darsteller labern mir echt ne Klinke an den Sack
I’ve been screwing with this setup for two solid weeks , absolute crap !!!
@@dahut3614 thanks for this.....I'll have to try this. totally annoying that this happens when you spend the money on these things
