Got my Mr. BF up and running about a week ago - ranks right up there with my first purchase of a cordless drill or hexadecimal calculator back in the day!
I'd love to run the BF die in Station 3, but there is a slight interference between the powder funnel casting and the lower fitting on the slinky bullet tube. I'm gradually relieving the funnel, but don't want to take off too much material.
SOLUTION: After looking over the lower slinky fitting I determined I could add a complementary flat to that component. BF now works fine in Station 3 and I can return to my separate seat and crimp dies.
Loading a longer case (I'm doing only 9mm) or a longer expander (Mr. BF expander is fairly short) would raise the powder die and probably avoid the interference.
Anyway, if you've been there done that or have any suggestions please chime in.
