My last dillon 1050 plate lasted 3 months and around 1800 rounds before it broke, no give on a warranty for it ( I am fully aware of the 1050 warranty). I bought another one from dillon, but if it proves to be crap, I will try the after market one(it has an excellent warranty ). My first 1050 plate lasted a few years,and that seemed reasonable. The bottom metal bowed out in every station until one finally broke clean off on the second one. Commercial machine or not, 1800 rounds is not enough to justify 80 bucks for a new one.
