So, I've been a Dillon 550B owner since 2000 and have loaded 20,000+ rounds on it since then (mostly 9/40/45). Picked up a RL1050 around the new year from a widow who decided to finally offload it after it sat dormant since 2008. After adjusting the powder bar and overall length, I dumped some N350 and fresh primers. Enjoying a case feeder and primer pocket de-crimp was nice, but about every 10-20 rounds, the Primer Arm Cam assembly rotates out of alignment and the whole machine seems to lock mid-stroke, cause numerous issues (and frustration). In one such moment of frustration, the damn RL1050 Operator broke the Ratchet Restriction Tab into 2 pieces. A quick call to Dillon got a replacement part (plus a new manual and additional Dillon pieces) on the way. Can anyone explain the Primer Arm Cam rotation, stoppage issue and how to keep from getting double powder loads/unseated bullets and un-primed ammo? I'd like to churn out 9mm faster than the 550B, but may end up selling off this RL1050. I've heard other platforms are more complicated than the 550B and it may be beyond my mental capacity to operate such a machine. Thank you. -
Howdy! Last year picked up a used Dillon RL1050. Little did I know there was a difference between an RL1050 and a Super 1050. Long story short I want to be able to load 30-06 on the 1050 and just picked up a used Super 1050 to replace the RL. What's the going price for a Dillon RL1050? Thanks, Jason
