I've used my LNL bullet feeder and dies with 9mm and had great success.

Jacketed bullets? They work well for me with jacketed bullets but have been terrible with plated and even worse with cast. Never tried cast in it. |

I use the Hornady Bullet feeders. For the 5.56 and the 6.5, you will need the 22cal rifle bullet feeder. and for .45 9mm and the 38, you will need the pistol bullet feeder. I reload both plated and jacketed without a problem. Cast I can get about 25 in a row on average without a problem and I have done 72 with no misfeed. I am still working on cast until I can get it 100%, I got the .40 down all most perfect. But 9mm and .45 have a lot of work to go.

That said you can custom fit a collet with a little sandpaper and some elbow grease, and since those dies are cheap, it's not hard or expensive. If you kept a .451 die and honed out out to use for 452 or 453 diameter bullets you'd probably be fine. I briefly experimented with it then bought an mbf instead. I have never regretted that decision. I bet hornady will sell the pieces separately too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The collet style hornady dies don't work as well for multiple bullet diameters like the mbf does. That said you can custom fit a collet with a little sandpaper and some elbow grease, and since those dies are cheap, it's not hard or expensive.

So you are able to load 6.5 with the 22 cal bullet feeder? |

Not straight out of the box. The drop tube diameter is too small. But with a small modification, it can be made to work. |

OP, unless it needs to be a motorized unit there is this option, manual index bullet feed system.
I've got the .223 set-up sitting on my bench waiting to try, which probably won't happen until this fall. Unit is very well made. |
