I load 10mm, 45 ACP , 9mm and 40 s&w on a dillon 650. On my press, I'm trying to decide if I need (or just want), a bullet feeder. First, I like to crimp and seat in separate steps, and with a mr bullet feeder I lose a station so no powder check die. I could crimp/seat on same stage but again prefer not to do that. I guess if you watch closely the powder check isn't necessary but it is a nice safety feature for potential double loads or empty cases which can lead to squibs.
Then there is the fact that by hand I can have a bullet setting on the next case by the time I am done seating a primer going about as fast as I can crank the handle with my right hand. I suppose it is less effort right? and I can watch what's going on more closely.
I just want some bullet feeder owners in the 650 to chime in and convince me to spend $500.
Also, it's a shame I cant get the Gsi toolhead anymore. they can be easily adapted to the Mr bullet feeder and allow me to avoid losing a station.
