Works great! Viewing the video on setup made it easy to setup and mount to my press. Just need to take your time cycling the press and watching the process. Still faster and easier than hand feeding brass. I reload .45 Colt and 44 Mag and had to modify the .45 ACP orange tube by filing it out. I also had to file out the hole on the bottom of the case feeder magazine tube as well so brass would drop through it. Double Alpha sent me instructions on how to do this. I would recommend to a friend.

Nice extension for the dillon 55o press. The only 3 wishes I would have are:
1) there should be some kind of "spingy holdeng the cases back in the shell plate device" like the normal dillon has. Somtimes the cases bounce a little back from the shell plate an interfere with the calibration die. (ok I know, when you actuate the press quite slow, this rarely happens)
2) a better setting up manual... the yt-video is nice, but you have to watch it 3x to get all the details ( and I do not have a computer in my reloading cave)
3) an explanation , why the rail roller has a magnet.
Otherwise: the Mini case feeder is just a genius inventions, which works quite well

Excellent product and work well. Had some issues with understanding how to install it using the video, but once I figured it out.. operations was smooth. Using 9mm at the time ... did first production run of a full set of tubes. Support was quick and outstanding. Should have done it years ago.

I started using mine with 380 cartridges, which I still cannot get to work properly. I tried some of the suggestions made to me( tape), but it is still hit or miss. I cannot fully load the mini case feeder, because the shells get stuck and will not feed. if I load only two columns its works most of the time. occasionally I need to tap the case feeder to free it up. I tried sorting the brass by manufacturer, but that did not solve the problem. When it does work, some times the cases shoot out as opposed to sliding out. On the plus side if you bend the dillion handle slightly it will clear the mechanism. I have a hydraulic press, so it was easy to bend it. I am hoping the other calibers I reload will be better.

Would have given 5 stars except that I had issues with loadin 45 colt. There are no instrictions with drawings to identify the parts. I jammed the feed cable trying to unlodge a case because of unclear instructions. But customer service was quick to help with replacement part. Once all the bugs worked out it functioned great with 45 colt and 44 magnum and 45 acp....be sure to use the right spacer.
