RCBS 22 Cal Bullet feeder

[GW Staar]

Midway USA just sent me an email to inform that they finally have RCBS's new Rifle Bullet Feeder in stock...the .22 cal version anyway. No sign of the 30 cal yet.

Now the questions begin...I will email RCBS and see what parts are necessary to convert to .30 cal or pistol...and how much. Earlier they said the possibility depends on demand for it...Duh. Personally, I think the success of the rifle versions depend on such conversions.

Keep in mind that this product is supposed to work with any progressive.

I checked on other online stores...the same .22 version is in stock at Cabelas, MidSouth, and Grafs. The wideners website was down tonight....the fire???

I realize this is slightly esoteric, but then a lot of people bought a $450 trimmer!! I'm betting some Ar-15 shooters who load bucket loads might be interested...and then there's Gavin, who promised on his Ultimate Reloader site to check it out.

Not the RCBS but the similar KISS and they are good for bucket fulls of fun sickles.

Here is a short video.

An RCBS R&D engineer whom I have become acquainted, answered my email concerning the company's new Rifle Bullet Feeder. Though this is short and to the point, it's the best info I've been able to squeeze from RCBS... so far...

If you buy the .22 Rifle Version you would only be able to load .224 Caliber Cartridges. The rifle bullet feeder is offered for the .22 and .30 rifle calibers, however as of yet we do not have the conversion kit to convert from one to the other.....or to Pistol.. We are currently discussing the need to have a conversion kit to do exactly what you have requested. Hopefully, in the near future, we will offer a conversion kit; however, it will mainly depend on the number of requests we receive for this type of product. Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope this helps.

So then I Emailed back, to see how to best add to the # of requests for conversion kits. His answer below:

The best way to request a bullet feeder conversion kit product from RCBS is to send e-mail, or letters to RCBS customer service. Hopefully we can market these conversion kits in the near future.

You know guys, since these products could become something worthwhile for all of us.....how about Emailing RCBS customer service, and requesting conversion kits between rifle bullet feeders, rifle to pistol bullet feeders, and pistol to rifle bullet feeders. You might mention that doing so might make it more desirable to purchase RCBS bullet feeder products.
