Howdy All
Does anyone out there have an instruction manual/Parts list for the MA System Bullet Feeder.
I recently aquirred one and am trying to install it on one of My Star reloaders. I need to know

Hi Lindy,

I tried to send you the manaul but AOL kicked it back because the file is to large.
Go to the following link to download the complete manual:

Thanks for the Manual on the collator, I down loaded it and printed a copy for My file.
What I really needed was the manual on the bullet "FEEDER" if You have a link to that I would
appreciate it.

Thanks.  Very interesting pictures.
What causes the bullet holder to retract before the seating die hits it?

Hi 4-star
There is a direction valve shown in the second Pic down that is located near the tool head spring anchor#57 that reverses the air pressure to the pneumatic
cylinder and the bullet holder tries to retract away from the machine but is cought on a step , when the tool head comes down it pushes the bullet holder down and off the step allowing it to retract and pick up another bullet.
Clear as a bell,, Right.

Lindy, I'm guessing you uploaded your video to YouTube as a Private video, which means only you can see it.   If you upload it as an unlisted video and post the link here, we should all be able to see it.

TY Bruce, that is exactly what went wrong, uploaded the video as private. But I have corrected that and changed all the links in MY essages to allow seeing the video.

Very nice indeed!

Can the same speeds be achieved with lead?

Hi Kenn
I haven't tried lead Yet but see no reason why it would not work with lead bullets, The bullets are required to be round nosed or pointed to work in the bullet collator, but if You could find a way to feed lead wadcutters into the bullet feeder, it should work.
