This was a CZCustom gun then i had Stuart do a trigger job too when he was in CO., tbe problem is now the trigger in SA is too light a little under 2lbs., DA is just at 5lbs even. Love the DA but SA is a tad too light. I can live with it. Can i increade SA witout increasing the DA. I do not want to increade the trigger return spring if there is another option. Love the work Stu did. He did what i asked on the trigger. That was a few years ago.... It just lightened up a tad too much.

I was caught off guard by how smoooooth the unit is. The need to keep the beast fed with primers is a piece to consider to keep tne production moving... There was a time when i thought the price of the RF100 was too high.. Tne guy i bought my second 1050 from had two RF100's one for small and large. He wad selling both i bought the one for small, i wished i bought both. An engineering marvel.. I bought the large primer conversion but i see how having dedicated units would be a plus. The vibration setting is different for each...

Disclaimer:
I started this thread before I bought my Super 1050 (actually I bought a second a few days after getting my 1st. one).
I have only made 1K of 9mm, and had the presses for a few weeks so I DO NOT have much experience.
Aric this is what I have learned is a short amount of time.
A big part of the equation is a persons mechanical ability. I am mechanically inclined, and find the 1050 not hard to understand.
By design you have to do a few extra steps compared to a Hornady LNL AP (previous primary press) but the steps are EASY.
There are several Youtube vids on the 1050, 15% are VERY VERY good, there is a great one I saw yesterday on lubrication/disassembly (starting to ramble sorry).
It appears most 1050 owners have a toolhead setup for each caliber along with the powder drop. That extra toolhead is a tad over $200 and if you put a dedicated powder drop about another $70.00
You can save $$$ and pull the dies and readjust the powder drop (never done it but srewing in dies with lockrings and adjusting powder for pistol may take 15 mins. tops, but going between pistol and rifle you would need to change the powder bar to throw a bigger charge (10 mins) fidling with the charge weight will take a couple minutes...
If you spring for the dedicated toolheads with powder drop the time to swap drops significantly going between pistol and rifle.
The priming between .40 S&W and 223 is the same so no need to change priming system. Just pull the toolhead, change plate, and the case pusher (too new to know the name), so 15 mins. is my newby guess with a dedicated toolhead.
Most people I think take longer because they are not timing themselves and are also doing cleaning and lubrication on the press...which is not time consuming at all.
The priming system is a lot simpler that I expected. That is all I can say I have yet to swap from small primers to large.
Even with my small amount of experience I do want to praise Dillon for the simple and very functional case feeder. After that shell drops and it gets pushed to the shell plate, SIMPLICIY OF DESIGN!

I picked up a used Super 1050 w/223 Carbide dies.
I want to load 9mm and 45acp (as well as 223) so I ordered up all of the needed items from Brian.
Toolheads, Large Primer system, Caliber conversions etc....
I plan on tearing it down and slowly going through it after I read the manual a few times, and I have been loosing sleep reading 1050 related posts tring to get some traction (Hornady LNL-AP guy).
One part I realize I do not have for swaping out the priming sytem from Small to Large and back is a Primer Bushing screwdriver. I have an email into Brian asking about this but thought I could get feedback here as well.
DO I NEED THIS TOOL or can I use a homebrew workaround?
THANKS in advace.

Interesting to hear the responses. I am not fast when I do this scenario on my Hornady LNL.
I never timed myself but I take 30 minutes (mainly adjusting the casefeeder). Too bad the threads on the toolheads allowed the use of Hornady quick change inserts (I assume they can not be utilized).
I am 90% convinced I will jump in and get a Super 1050
If anyone has a deal PM me please i live in Denver Colorado

I am trying to talk myself into getting a used 1050.
I run a Hornady LNL w/Casefeeder now. Works fine but looking for stability mainly.
There is always something it seems I need to dink with,,,I am very experienced on it but still..
I would set up tool heads for 223, 9mm and 45acp.
After I get familiar with the 1050 how long would it take to go from 9mm to 45acp?
(toolhead swap, shell plate, casefeeder, and priming system)

What powder?
Do you have calibration weight to rule out scale drift?
Have you disassembled the powder drop and clean lower and upper? They get sticky after awhile (i clean my lower every 1000 rounds). Does the powder adjustment rotate to a point it is close but not touching the top.

This litlle gem is worth it's weight in gold IMO.
You attach this to a $3 green steel post you can buy in different lenghts at any Home Depot, farm supply joint.
The key to this set up is the steel is very steady and the bracket/attachment bolt allow the steel plate to be a a perfect slight downward angle to deflect the bullet.
Doing double taps with a sheapards hook sucks again IMO...
The bracket can be setup to drop the steel plate when hit it or you flip the bracket 180 degrees and now it is held firm..
The brackets are $29.00 buck but I swear it is the BEST...if you want a STABLE steel plate without hauling alot...

I have two Super 1050's and I will sell one in 9mm
I have yet to list it (no big hurry). I am in Denver and I really dread the thought of packing it up and shipping it out of the area.....
I want $1600 for it.
Standard S1050 works perfect home use only low round count.
