WARNING/CAUTION
PRIMERS AND POWDER 
• Store primers and powder beyond the reach of 
children and away from heat, dampness, open flames 
and electrical equipment. Avoid areas where static 
electricity is evident. 
• DO NOT use primers of unknown identity. 
• Dispose of unknown primers in accordance with 
applicable regulations.
• Keep primers in the original factory container until
ready to use. Return unused primers to the same 
factory packaging for safety and to preserve their 
identity. Primer packaging is designed to provide safe 
storage. 
• DO NOT store primers in bulk. The blast of just a few
hundred primers is sufficient to cause serious injury to 
anyone nearby. 
• DO NOT force primers. Use care in handling primers. 
• DO NOT have more than one can of powder on the 
bench at one time. Powder cans should be stored 
away from the bench to avoid picking up the wrong 
one. 
• DO NOT use any powder unless its identity is
positively known. The only positive identification is the
manufacturer's label on the original canister. Discard 
all mixed powders and those of uncertain identity. 
 
• If you use a powder measure, replace the lids on both 
the powder hopper and powder can after the powder 
hopper has been filled. 
• When using a powder measure, settle the powder in
the powder hopper before charging any cases. Throw 
and check the weight of at least ten charges. This will 
assure you that the correct powder charge is being 
thrown. 
• When you finish a reloading session, pour any
remaining powder back into its original factory 
container. This will preserve the identity and shelf life 
of the powder. 
• DO NOT smoke while reloading. 
 
RECORD KEEPING 
• Keep complete records of reloads. Apply a descriptive 
label to each box showing the date produced, and the 
primer, powder and bullet used. Labels for this 
purpose are packed with SPEER bullets. 
• Never attempt to guess at the identity of your
ammunition.
 
Because RCBS has no control over the choice of components, the manner in which they are assembled, the use of this

USE 
The RCBS Bullet Feeder – Pistol Kit has been designed to increase your progressive pistol load rate by ~50% by 
reducing the manual operation of placing a bullet onto the case mouth. All parts and adapters are included for you to be 
able to feed 9mm, .38 Spl, .357 Mag, .40 S&W and .45 ACP pistol bullets. 
 
The Bullet Feeder is designed to work with FMJ/TMJ, JACKETED or SEMI JACKETED Hollow Point, Soft Point, Round 
Nose, Truncated/Flat Nose and Semi Wadcutter designed bullets ONLY. Cast or swaged LEAD and Wadcutter(HB, BB, 
DE) bullets are NOT to be used. The lube from lead bullets deposits on the moving parts and collects dust and dirt, 
slowing down the function of the Bullet Feeder and eventually causing the motor to burn out and will void the Warranty. 
The deposited lube also does not allow the bullets to be positioned properly for feeding from the sorting Wheel to the 
Feed Tube. The Wadcutter design will not sort properly through the Bullet Feeder. 
 
The Bullet Feeder is designed to be used on RCBS 5-station progressive presses such as the Pro2000, Pro2000 Auto 
and PiggyBack. The Bullet Feeder has also been designed to function on progressive presses manufactured by other 
companies. RCBS has successfully tested the Bullet Feeder on the following presses: Dillon® RL550B, XL650 and 
Hornady® Projector™, L-N-L™AP™. For presses that require you to Seat and Crimp bullets in separate operations, you 
may need to combine bullet Seating and Crimping to accommodate the Bullet Feeder. This may require the purchase of a 
combination bullet Seat and Crimp die(not included). 
 
The Collator will hold ~200 bullets depending on caliber. Less for .45, more for 9mm.
