  1. Get the 1050 use one Toolhead reload big batches priming on the down stroke and swaging big pluses.
  2. Here is a fix for you on any sticking. Run your brass in corncob for 30 minutes. My drive for this Toolhead is the tunability of NOE inserts with a Lee universal decapper. As a bonus I don’t get stiction with these inserts or with M-die. I run my brass 2x through my 1050 that is my preference.
  3. Tom let it go man I am not a machinist. I would not be happy with a .45 slide that looked like that. But I bought a toolhead, not a freaking slide. Geeeeze! Let's agree to disagree and move on. Enjoy!
  4. I can’t bell in #2 I swage there. Doing a M-die type of operation in the powder drop is not what I want. I prefer NOE inserts screwed onto the stem of a Lee universal expander. I can run .356 .357 .358 you are locked in with one size with Mr. Bullet powder drop. Additionally the powder drop is smoother when you just drop powder vs. expand the case wall and bell / drop powder. “You Can’t run 3,400 without slinging powder” How can you make that claim not knowing my setup? Shellplate, powder charge, powder type. Whatever speed someone chooses to run their automated 1050 press at has no relivence to this toolhead. If you don’t see the point, ok.
  5. Looking for experienced feedback please. Which S1050 powder funnel AK or 30M1? Starting down the 300BO rabbit hole. I plan on running an M-Die or NOE M-die type tips w/Lee universal expander on by BO brass along with powder coated bullets. So I just want my powder funnel to drop powder, no belling. The Type "C" 30 carbine does some flaring, per Dillon webpage "Type: "C" 30 carbine, flaring 300" I am guessing the AK powder funnel does not flare and that is what I am looking for/should buy???
  6. Ok got it. Your initial question was not precise enough for me to understand, now I do, just me I guess. Prior to the CNC toolhead I ran a EGA - Dillon 1050 Super - Primer Hold Down Die. I ran 10-15K with no primer detonations, so I have no feedback yet. All of my prior detonations (maybe 3) have been a result of a ringer in the brass then trying to push another primer in. I believe I have eliminated this issue by preprocessing my brass 1st. pass Mighty Armory decap, then Ammobot primer sense in swaging #2. Then I load. I try to be as careful as possible, just because I can run stupid fast I don't.
  7. No insult intended, trying to determine your reloading experience based on your questions to appropriately answer. I have had primers go off in station #3 with a Dillon toolhead and it makes a noise and one primer goes off. I have never had a primer go off with the CNC toolhead. The CNC toolhead does not increase the chance of a primer detonation.
  8. It has been answered, inside will get black. There will be a loud noise. It is always the same smoke noise. Sounds like someone else loads your ammo.
  9. RiggerJJ- I will bite. I run 9mm My press is automated so I pre-process my brass. During this stage I decap and my Ammobot fitted with a primmer sensor in station #2 (swage rod removed) checks for ringers (anything in the primer pocket/diameter of pocket not large enough for a small primer to fit). I switch tool-heads (CNC 7 station) , Remove primer sensor, reinstall swage rod and load ammo. RE: Your enquiry on station #3 (I run a M-Die) Running an M-Die IMO based on experience creates no issues. By pre-processing I eliminate my obstacles relating to primers before loading ammo. To run automated loading 9mm ammo (2,000 hr. to 3,000 hr.) you have to have your press tuned up, mine is. I am not advocating this toolhead is for every 1050 owner. But for me now I don't have to try and have the powder drop fitted with a Mr. Bullet feeder powder drop do my M-die work. I feel I get more consistent powder charges, the press runs smoother (no binding as the powder drop is being extracted from the clean brass). There are a few more benefits that are built into this 7 station CNC STEEL toolhead besides the extra station. Google foo will get you updated if you so desire.
  10. I cast my bullets and powder coat them. I use M-die or Lee universal expander W/NOE inserts in #3, I enjoy having my powder drop, just dropping powder, smooth. If I recall there is about 20/1000’s on the base (threads to primer base). About 45/1000’s space at the top
  11. Amazing. I use this for production I am not taking it to bed LOL. This Toolhead is sweet. As advertised it enhances the 1050. I enjoy running a full SEVEN stations
  12. With the Ammobot Rev3 new stepper motor/ firmware 4.1.1, and the current sensing of the R3 makes it a game changer compared to previous versions. Quiet. Fast. I like the 3 modes. Brass processing, Pistol, and rifle mode. The current sensing=torque management leave me wanting nothing more. With options to monitor decapping in #1, primer in #2, and have the option to eject a bad case at #2 with the flipper on the fly, after bullet drop you can monitor for no bullet or improper bullet orientation. I am happy. It is a super value. I chuckle at what I did not spend and the features I have. The key with Ammobot is having a Rev. 3 and the firmware I have rocks. It was compiled on 3/12/18.
  13. Sure have. My fix Mighty Armory decap die. Runs over 3500 hr on my Ammobot R3 1050
  14. The CNC Shooter Super 1050 toolhead has been designed to withstand the absolute worst beatings that might be dished out by the fastest-moving autodrives. They've been successfully tested at over 3400RPH. List of the features found on the CNC Shooter toolhead: - Body is machined from solid steel 1" thick(not a poorly dimensioned and inconsistent casting varying from .9 - 1.1") - Front pin is case hardened and length is adjustable - Extra threaded hole at the priming station (for ultimate brass processing capabilities, this is a standard die size 7/8"-14) - 5 smaller threaded holes on top for accessory attachments (10-32) - Primer push pin locks in place via set screw - No more stupid ratchet (you can still install one if needed) - Casefeed cam is not only harder but also almost 3x as thick as factory and engages the whole casefeed roller. - Clearance ring cut into bottom to allow for bearing kits - Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance - Made in USA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  15. Imortobot sold this. My draw was now you can use a die (M-die) above the priming station. See websites for other benefits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  16. 9mm- Initially I de-prime only and sense for ringers at the swaging station. Wish I had that $700 wiz bang flipper to keep thing continuous and toss ringers in a bucket. I remove the priming shuttle assembly. This can run 3K+ On the next pass- Size, swage, M-die at the priming station (I run coated bullets), CNC Toolhead allows me to run a M-die at the priming station, prime, powder, bullet drop, seat and crimp.

  17. Looking for faster (6rpm?) motor and a bit more torque. The stock motor is 4rpm I don’t need to reinvent the wheel if someone has done this already. I need this so it can keep up with my Ammobot Rev. 3 during case processing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  18. Looking to upgrade the stock shellplate due to 223 case wobble Using with Ammobot. Any direction based on experience? TNT- -CNC machining our shellplates from A-2 tool steel. -Lowering the shellplate pockets. This greatly reduces casing wobble and helps with casing insertion into the shellplate. -Heat treating and annealing the shellplate while flat. Fast & Friendly- S-7 tool steel and are then through hardened, not case hardened. The pocket dimensions and location are different from the stock Dillon plate, allowing better adjustment, reliable feeding, and less flexing of the shell plate.
  19. I have a Dillon toolhead for 300BO now I need to decide on a Dillon trimmer or a Honey Badger or ? Also trim dies and any advice. Thank-you very much in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  20. Great knowledge/insight Keep it up!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  21. I think it is on the high side; but not bad. Used 1050 in good shape I pay $1500 locally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  22. What have you tried so far? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  23. Almost everyone running a Shadow in USPSA I know including me run an extended pin. Cheap Verify that the firing pin channel is clean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  24. Extended firing pin installed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
