Bummy425 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Guys Just got my first 1050 in 9mm and im looking for recommendations on toolhead setup. I load polymer coated bullets so I want to run separate seating and crimp stations, but I also would like to run a powder check as well. I am currently running powder drop with mr bulletfeeder expander in station following primer seating, and then mr bulletfeeder following that. Thanks!

GringoBandito Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Last time I spoke with dillon about the powder check station, they did not recommend it due to the small quantities of powder in 9MM cases. At this point, I have loaded about 15K on my 1050 and have very detailed safety protocols if I have to stop the loading process..Pull everything from each station and double check everything as I place those rounds back into the press..it's kept me out of trouble so far..(knocks on wood) Here is my set up for loading coated bullets...Dillon decapper, lyman M die, Mr bullet feeder powder dropper, redding micrometer seating die and lee crimper..

78Staff Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) If you are going to run a MBF and separate seat/crimp dies, you pretty much have to look at an off press powder camera of some sort for power checking. They can range from a $20 USB borescope camera hooked to and old phone or tablet and fab up some sort of mounting system for both. You can also use auto backup camera and monitor with a 12v converter of some sort. I use a hand held inspection camera setup as it's all self contained and you don't have to source a bunch if different parts. It's a bit more expensive now than when I bought it, but something like this is also an option as it contains all you need. Whistler-WIC-3509P-Wireless-Inspection-Camera and here's a guy doing the same on a 650... skip to 225 or so to see how he set his up and it in action...

Bummy425 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Thanks! How do you like that seating die?Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummy425 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Thanks 78! I had come to the same conclusion but just wanted to make sure. I am running with a mark 7 on this, so I was hoping to use their powder check sensor just because things are moving so fast. I did order a camera and it should be here on thursday. Now can I be attentive enough or focused enough to keep an eye on the screen? [emoji3] Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb72 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I use the Lee decapping die, the Everglades Ammo primer hold down die, the MBF bullet drop die, the Dillon Seating die, and the Lee Factory Crimp Die. I don't worry about the powder drop. The 1050 design kind of makes it very hard to not charge or to double charge a case. I am much more worried about powder when I am loading on my 550.

camaross400 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I also use a camera system for reloading on my 1050. I ordered a Wifi Endoscope which includes a light on the end for $40 on Amazon which wirelessly connects to my iPad or iPhone. I also purchased a mount for $20 to attach the iPad to the Case Feeder mount.Wireless Endoscope, Depstech WiFi Borescope Inspection Camera 2.0 Megapixels HD Snake Camera for Android and IOS Smartphone, iPhone, Samsung, Tablet - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYTHWK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_bWercjFzP3OfeBESTEK Gooseneck Tablet Mount iPad Mount for iPad Mini 1/2/3, iPad Air 1/2, iPad pro and Most Tablet Within 9.7 inch & 12.9 inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTWS3Q0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_Q3kbxTXgUxnW2Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeeg Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Only other option is to use a GSI toolhead or their collator/toolhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially, I used a back up camera set up but it was difficult for me to angle it to see into rifle rounds so I went to this set up.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 1050 setup for .40 S&W so have not tried it on rifle rounds. However, I am using a flex mount and the camera also can swivel at the end of it, so I have a couple of different ways of making adjustments if needed. That should be enough to see into the rifle cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
