UNPACKING Refer to the list below to identify parts as you unpack your new Rifle Bullet Feeder – Dillon Conversion Kit.
ASSEMBLY Reference the part schematic on page 11 for more information. You will need the following tools in order to assemble and install this Kit: • 3/32” hex key/ Allen wrench • 5/32” hex key/ Allen wrench • 3/8” open end wrench or small adjustable wrench This Product Instruction Manual is meant to supplement the manual you received with your RCBS Rifle Bullet Feeder, not replace it. You will need to reference that document to complete your Bullet Feeder installation.
INSTALLATION Note: Reference the part schematic on page 11 for more information. Bullet Feed/ Seat Die Installation First, tighten the setscrew on your PM Die Lock Ring to keep it from moving. Next carefully detach the PM Failsafe Rod from the Bellcrank Link Brackets (consult your Powder Measure Manual for more information). Next, remove your Powder Measure Assembly from the Powder Measure Die by loosening the two SHCS 6-7 turns each using a 5/32” hex key (Photo 7).
NOTE: You will be able to load cartridge lengths of approximately 2.0 – 2.5 inches at this setting. For longer cartridges, raise the Seat Die Assembly as needed up so that the lower part of the window (A) is higher than the Lock Ring (B) (Photo 9). Manually squeeze the Bullet Feeder’s Push Bar Mechanism, allowing the bullet to drop into the Seat Die Body (Photo 11). Visually check to ensure the bullet has dropped down inside the Guide bushing under the Seat Plug.
Next, reinstall the PM Failsafe Rod to the Bellcrank Brackets (consult your Powder Measure Manual for more information). Place a properly sized/ trimmed case at the powder drop station and fully lower the Press Handle. The Cam on the PM Assembly should engage the Push Bar and drop a bullet into the Seat Die Assembly. Ensure that the Cam does not contact any other components throughout its range of motion.
Bowl Support Tubes Installation The Clamp and Clamp Anchor (781315 and 781316, respectively) supplied with this Kit give you the ability to mount your Bullet Feeder Bowl to the green square tubing from RCBS (Photo 18) or the black round tubing on the Dillon Case Feeder (Photo 19). Choose the option that is best suited for your situation. Assemble the Clamp as shown using the two 1/4-20 x 3” Long BHCS provided. Tighten both firmly to keep Bowl Assembly stable.
ADJUSTMENT Note: Reference the part schematics on page 11 of this booklet and the Bullet Feeder Instruction Manual for more information during assembly and installation. Bullet Seating Depth Bullet seating depth is controlled by adjusting the Seat Plug Stop (A) up or down. Shorter length cases may be accommodated by moving the Retaining Ring to a higher groove on the free floating bullet Seat Plug (B) (Photo 20).
