I see two affordable (to me) options:
1) the Lee bullet feeder with a bracket.
2) the mini MrBulletFeeder.

Am I missing any other options? Recommendations on one over the other?

I'm loading 9mm and 5.56 for the most part.

3rd option:

Build your own collator and use the Hornady dies. (requires seat and crimp in one die)

Or, lee bullet feeder and a diy collator

That's a lot of filament, but it's technically easier than the one I linked...

Went this route. Brandon was really nice. Bullet feeder from Amazon came yesterday. Bracket came today and looks really good. Just got 1K of RMR 124 gr JHP.

Will install and test this weekend.

I started to print parts for the newest version. I think that it is going to be pretty sweet when it is done. I wanted to build the one that you linked, but I always doubted my ability to make the disk accurately enough to reliably orient the bullets in the feeder. 3D printing at least the disk makes that part soooo much easier, probably could combine the two ideas.
