anyone use a MA Systems Bullet feeder

[angus6]

Whats the take on MA Systems air bullet feeder ? Got a line on a couple and wondering if to jump or not

[tony barone]

I have been using the MA System Easy loader for a few years now and it is a joy to operate. It is a trouble free system if set up correctly. I would grab it as I have never seen them offered. They were very expensive from MA Systems.

Tony wonder if I could also set one up on the 1050. Any idea how small on bullets they will feed

Considering this Co. makes these for the Dillon for $700.......Not a bad price for a NEW
Bullet Feeder..........
Parts are available for different calibers................

As you know M-A no longer makes those Bullet Feeder, so you would have to make the Parts..........
I believe there is more to the system...

Mills and  lathes are great for making parts, even better when you can do it on the clock

Tony was that you that made a post about doing a video ?  if so did you ?

Angus you also need the bullet tube with micro switch, a bullet collator and an air supply. A friend of mine makes the Kiss Bullet Feeder that works for every press except the Star. Go on You Tube and you can see it in operation. It works great with the 1050 and is about $400.00. He gave me a bullet collator that I use on my Star. The Kiss machine is used by all of the IPSC shooters that I know of and it works superbly. Give MA Systems a call they have parts for that Easy Loader. Thats a good find if you got that at a reasonable price as it was $350.00 new when it was available. I have not made a video yet but I will soon.

You brought the subject up '1050 & MA Sytems bullet feeder'

also need the bullet tube with micro switch, a bullet collator and an air supply.

That stuff is easy enough

As soon as I get rid of another Dillon I'll have bench space to set another Star and mess with this

Angus here is a set up.

Tony, It looks like you did not go with the MA systems case feeder on your setup (looks great by the way).  Any reason why not?  I have a Star in 45 ACP with the MA casefeeder, it seems a bit overly complicated compared to the Hulme design.  Perhaps the Hulme style was still covered by patent?  Anyway, was just wondering about your setup.  Sorry, this is a bit off the first thread.

Tony the bullet tube & micro switch is it just a simple tube with a limit swith to control the collator ? I'm not seeing whats triggering your feeder to extend and retract

John hows the RL1000 , missed getting a bid in on one last week 

[tony barone]

John I received the Hulme from Star with the machine in 1986. The MA case feeder from what I understand is a very good design as it does not obstruct any stations. Angus that is a tube with a micro switch that controls the collator. The Easy Loader is operated by an air control switch that's mounted to the top of the machine. I think the micro switch tube assembly for the bullets is available from MA Systems. I got one from them about a year ago. I have been buying spare parts from them for a while now but like the Star I have never needed any. You can see the air switch at the top of the machine. You can use the control switch to zoom in. The Easy Loader was designed for the Star and the Dillon 1050. The Kiss bullet collator is available from Kiss Mfg.
