For those who demand precision in reloading, here are 2 products the redding bullet seating die
59.95 at dillon
The Most Advanced Bullet
Alignment Available
Since the introduction of our competition seating die for rifle calibers,we have been asked to provide the same features in a precision bullet seater for straight wall cartridges. Because of our strict design criteria it was only natural that this die would become part of our Competition Series.
Advanced Bullet Alignment
Our design criteria called for positive alignment between the bullet and cartridge case prior to bullet seating.
We developed a very unique way to intentionally bias the bullet into alignment. Here is how it works:
The precision fitting seating stem is allowed to move well down into the chamber of the die to accomplish early bullet contact. The spring loading of the seating stem provides the positive alignment bias between its tapered nose and the bullet ogive. This spring loading and bullet alignment are maintained as the bullet and cartridge case move upward until the actual seating of the bullet begins.
This new Advanced Bullet Alignment feature assures you of the straightest possible bullet alignment for handgun & straight wall rifle cartridges.

and the Uniquetek Micrometer powder bar kit.
49.95 on their website plus shipping
he UniqueTek Micrometer Powder Bar Kit™ upgrades your existing Dillon powder bar to a micrometer powder bar. No more guessing how many turns of the adjustment screw will get you back to that perfect powder weight.
• Fits all Dillon powder bars including the 'Belted Magnum' powder bar.
• Also fits the SL 900 Powder Bar and SL 900 Shot Bar!
Much more than just a dial or knob – the Micrometer Powder Bar Kit™ replaces the original 1/4-28 adjustment bolt with a true precision micrometer with 40 threads per inch. You will be able to reliably and repeatably return to any powder weight setting with an accuracy never before possible. Of course, you still must weigh and confirm all powder weight setting changes.
Kit includes micrometer head, LocTite® and installation instructions. Powder bar not included. Plus, we send a FREE Excel spread sheet you can use to generate "calibration curves" for each of your gunpowders. With a "calibration curve," you can predict the micrometer setting to give you any desired charge weight for that gunpowder.

After researching all the bullet feeders out so far for the dillon the GSI product stands out. I have read thru threads and threads of info from other reloaders and people who have tried the Kiss, Lee, Gaspari and associates and the GSI bullet feeders, they all agree on one thing GSI's product is still the best and practical although, price wise, its out there.
The K.I.S.S. bullet feeders collator is the only good thing that came out of the KISS bullet feeder, the way it actually feeds the bullet to the casing has the same principle as the one made by Gaspari and associates, if you have front sight magazine you'd see what it looks like I tried to look for it in the net but I only saw it in the March 06 issue on the net and the Jan 07 issue. The principle is to drop the bullet onto the casing and hope it doesn't fall, as you can see from the videoes it seem to hang on. But in my experience with xl650 it might jump a little bit because of the shell plate shock, this (shell plate shock) happens because the index ball spring on the 650 pushes very hard on the index ball when the shell plate turns. This is specially true when you are loading 9mm's, not only do you have to deal with shell plate shock but with hard 9mm casses too. Maybe the machine is just new thats why the spring is so hard. One tip I found to minimize shell plate shock is to cut the index ball spring about 1 coil.
The GSI bullet feeder as far as I can tell is based more on the auto priming system of dillon. By changing the tool head to accomodate the bullet plate it has a more practical approach in seating the bullet, it is located in the seating die, as the brass is going up it release the bullet a centimeter or 2 before the brass hits the mouth of the seating die and therefore seating it as well. And for those who want to keep their powder check system on the 3rd station they can do so on the KISS system it is setup on the 3rd station where you would normally put the Powder check system. You would have to use their seating die which is included in the price. The only limitation of course is 12-16 bullets then you need to put some more, it doesn't have a colator like the KISS bullet feeder, they are still working on their bullet collator and no info when it is due out. |

Hi...
Just FYI, the KISS bulletfeeder system you show above has nothing in common with the Gaspari Associates (Fowler type) bullet feeder other than they both fit standard 7/8 x 14 toolheads. Their internal mechanism and principle of operation are completely different.
The GSI feeder unit requires you to replace your existing toolhead with their unit. They do have a rotary bullet collator available as an accessory.
The KISS outfit includes both the bullet collator and the feeder/dropper. There is also a caliber conversion available for .223 now.
MA Systems also has a collator and feeder system, but it costs over $1000 and you need to buy an air compressor to operate it. I'm not sure if they are even making them anymore, but you might be able to find a used one.
As for which system is the best, read the testimonials on their repective websites. Also, there are lots of posts about the pros and cons of bullet feeders on other shooting sites like Brian Enos, etc. |
