I got a Mr. Bulletfeeder for my 1050 and I'm using Xtreme 9mm 147 Gr HPs. My problem is that about every 5th bullet feeds upside down. Does anybody have any insight as to how to correct this? If it keeps up, I'm sending it back.

Glad you liked the video .I didn't watch the video posted by @dgrantdoherty but their setup vids on YouTube are pretty helpful.
Basically, you have to fool around with the plastic shims for the bullet you are using to get the correct rotation. It helps being above the bullet feeder while it's running just so you can see what's going on.
I try to keep a chart for what bullets require what shim stacks, as the height may change, even going from one bullet to another in the same caliber.
Mine was doing that, its the angle you set the hopper. Its very touchy for that round. Assuming the spacers are correct. Also the spacers can loosen.

Nope. I'm pulling the handle.@EddieCoyle do you have an auto drive setup or hand cranking it? I did have issues every now and again with my auto drive. The machine was a little faster than the bullet feeder, so with the bullet feel cranked at full speed, I would get a flipped bullet every few hundred or so. But not the rate at which you are experiencing.
I just put the machine on the bench, run it and adjust. Much easier than standing on a stool. Get it dialed in and remount.I found that by getting a stool and looking inside to watch exactly what was happening, I was able to adjust the ramp parts into the sweet spot.
Over 45 degrees and close to 60 and everything feed fineI'm late to the party again but I found that you can play with shims but increasing the angle of the Hopper solved all my issues. My hopper is over
I love my mini BF,... and grabbed extra adapters. I load 2 up and it's enough to keep me going for a bit.
I had one, upgraded to its father I liked it so much.Anyone play around with one of these?
Was thinking of picking one up for those 4-600 batch runs

Please be aware of the following:The Dillon XL750 Powder Measure is angled such that the powder bar must extend directly over station #4 in the toolhead, and it cannot be repositioned. This Is not an issue if you have a short die in that station. However, if you wish to run a powder check...www.doublealpha.biz
