Dillon brass feeder and operation

[Ex]

Three videos of a 500b Dillon in action (short)
Owned this brass feeder since I bought the press.. Never setup until yesterday due to ceiling height. Removed "strong mount" to achieve lowered position.

Please forgive the sideways shot in vid 2 and the stated function of station one as the "de-prizer" instead of the de-primer... first video shots and youtube posts.

3 short videos.
Hope you enjoy.

Good videos Ex, enjoyed watching them.

Did the lower press due to removing the strong mount make a difference to you?

 

[Ex]

I like the Dillon "strong mount" but did not have enough ceiling height in the reloading shed.
Hence, mount removal, press to bench, loss or completed round bin, addition of tin pie plate to catch rounds.

Pros and cons, but the advantage of the feeder is well worth it to me. Been sitting on the floor in the corner for years collecting dust. For same amount of years I’ve had to manually feed 8 to 15 pieces of brass into the lower portion of the tube, then stop and repeat every 8 to 15 rounds (depending on caliber...9mm? .357 mag?).

Dump in a bag of brass now and go to town! Loving it!
