Got to agree , the 1050 is so much a simpler machine to use verses a 650, I added a 650 and 550 after the 1050 because I came across some deals the were to insane to pass on , but found I'd much rather load with the 1050 so now it and a SS and Star are the onlything on the bench now

I already use the Hornady lock rings. This is good to hear. I think I'll try it out this way at first. Works great for me, as I didn't have room for 12 toolheads setting around , another thing to cut cost is to try and pick-up used the parts needed to make-up caliber conversions verses buying complete kits think i'm down to around $65 a conversion now

RePete has the cure , the Lyman pinswere a Great fix been doing the same for quite awhile now Thanks to RePete

Dan no part number but I'll try and see if I can get a number from Dillon as they should have it in my order history

So hows the Federal brass ? Dillon can set you up with a backing rod set-up but it wont have the expander BTDT have the unit. If you can deal with no expander ask for Mike, I assume it wasn't Mike Dillon that hooked me up with it. I figure to use a Lyman M-dei for the expanding HTH

This auto-drive is the one I'm interested in http://www.forchtfirearms.com

I know it'll turn 300blk when adjusting the trim lenght on all ready sized brass

Mike your good to go

Thanks , went brain dead and didn't think to look like at the 650/550. Now just find a plate and enough brass to use the 1050

Anyone have an idea what shellplate to use on a 1050 to load 6.8 ?

Actually I went brain dead I do have a set of the Magma 147 FP , single stack, no comp just range time on steel plates

Wondering if to add a set of 160gr molds to the collection, is this a good bullet for the Super, already have a set set of 125 RN and 122 FP

Got mine today also, was lucky as the envelope was total destroyed and repack in another one Thanks

It's a great machine once you figure it out , their not as idiot proof as the rest of the line ETA: not calling you a idiot, but there is just a bit more learning curve with the 1050

Thats what we did , couple years back added a used bullet master and a lube master to the mix, ran about the same as a high end 1911. Figured we were in it for the long haul, It'll crank out around 17K in 8 hours

Finally got to try some hotter rounds, 7.8 of Silhouette at 1.260 shoot and cycled great didn't get to Chrono, still only getting half mags to run. Did order a box of DoubleTap 147FP just to see

Sounds like there's a couple of interestedted

roostershooter wonder if the program was saved ? might be a couple people interested in a spare

It's a commander ,Actually I'm thinking from what I've heard with the guys using these bullets in 9mm , 7.7 and 8.0gr were my next loads, have a feeling it might go higher. Cases aren't new but have been roll sized.Might try a few of the comp brass but it needs to run on the semis. Need to check but I think I have to swap to a223 shellplate for the comp Will get the load where I think it should be with the semi rimmed brass, Then I'll have Matt from MD Custom Machine sort the rest out he hadn't ran any FP's with it before I picked it up

Yeah I've got two issue the feeding and the loads, the plated were 124's 130's and 147's all with mid range loads of AA5 and 231 Pistol is new , brass is Super do have a bunch of Super Comp that I haven't tried, it also choked on some leaded FP's Thanks , I'm open to things being tossed out, I'll be trdifferentfenrt loads Monday and maybe can get together with Matt next week on the feed issue

Well 1.230 wasn't much help , guess I'll get back with Matt to see what he thinks ETA: ordered a chrono to see what these are doing as it cycles slow with them and dosen't clear spent rounds but half the time, My RN plated rds work great, Looking back on what guys are saying that reloaded these in 9mm lots of over max loads to get to run right

Surprising. The darn things should feed! You should be fine with that 1.230 OAL and your current load of 7.0 grains of Silhouette. You're far enough from maximum that you have some room to work with. Ramshot published some OAL and pressure data some years back for 9mm and ZIP powder (and a 115 grain bullet), and they found an increase of approximately 736 psi change for every 0.010 inches of OAL change. ZIP is a little faster burning than Silhouette (and pressure should increase faster for ZIP) so you should be fine. Buddy was surpised when I told him about it and said to bring it back so he could check it out, figure I'd play with the loads first. Needs to feed the F/P bullets as I've got 2 sets of F/P molds for the Bullet Master and really not wanting to add another set

superdude it's a ramped barrel

Trying to get a load using 100Gr FN CTF frangible bullet. Went with a load from RamShot data for 100GR SinterFire. 7grs of Silhouette at 1.260. Found that at 1.260 they wouldn't feed out of the 3 differnt brands of 1911 mags I've got if full but if loaded to 5 rounds those feed fine, jam is straight in to barrel ramp , no angle at all. I made a couple dummy rds at 1.230 and looks like they will feed is that to much of a reduced lenght to load at ? RamShot list 6.9 to 7.7 as the load range on the SinterFire @ 1.260

Sounds like your talking to XL650 owners, I shoot 7 calibers and the 1050 is the go to press, at this time I've only got 3 toolheads and really not sure I'll be adding more
