If budget wasn’t an issue I would consider the Mark7 Manual Evolution.
Don’t get me wrong I have owned
6/1050s and still have one of them and like them very much so but after buying the evolution it is everything I wish that Dillon would have done to improve their machine throughout the years to become.
Loading for me is just as big as a hobby as the shooting sport.
I tend to lean towards buying something of high-quality the first time so I don’t have to spend again.
I feel the Evolution is a very high-quality well-built machine and it would’ve been my first purchase if it was available years ago. Seeing pictures of it doesn’t do it justice unless you see one in person and actually use the machine.
I could go on about it but if it’s something that you’re possibly interested in looking at you might want to do a little investigating on it or ask for some info here on it and I don’t mean to hijack the thread from Dillon to Mark 7 but was just throwing it out there if your budget is larger and giving you more options to think about. -

OK tell me about the band on the PW arm... is it there to keep it from flopping over?
I have a PW as well, but really only use it for brass processing runs myself.
What the purpose of that was for some reason that motor had just a little bit of playing in it so as it would complete the
cycle it had a little quick noise so I put that rubber strap on there which kept tension on it and got rid of the noise.

what’s up with the switches
that looks high tech .
They run my processor press.

I installed one of these for pretty much that purpose alone, not sure of needing it for any other reason than the convenience of the maintenance of the machine but it does work very well.

Quite some time back I read on the Dillon forms on low speed they run between
1 1/2 and 2 1/2 RPMs and on high speed they run 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 RPMs
just something I had read I personally don’t know this.

I tend to use mine more to keep track of my maintenance schedule.

I made this one here pretty simple found everything on eBay I did recently move the proximity switch down to the lower portion of the crankshaft.

I have had a few 1050s for quite some time with no issues with the blue tip, from my experience I think the majority of the people along with a few of my friends issues with the ”Bluetip” is because they over tighten the the top of the tube magazine nut that the low primer sensor sits on. Just finger tight is all it needs to be and that is a loose finger tight. Just my two cents...

How did you get a counter on your case feeder? Nice setup
I went on eBay and pretty much found everything to do this for under $20 couple simple switches and inexpensive counter low-voltage transformer.

I love my AmmoBot!

Not sure how but I think they forgot about the RL’s
So much hype over the XL750 which wasn’t even at the NRA show.
WTF?

Is your seater putting that ring on the bullet or did they come that way. I know for range fodder it really doesn't matter but was curious...
They did come that way.

Thanks again for everyone’s help !
I did try a lot of the suggestions that were given to me and I seem to be pretty pleased so far with blue bullets.
I loaded up for this Sunday’s match and will put them to the real test.
Thanks again guys and all your help is greatly appreciated.
”doc88” yes they did give me a 5% discount for being a member of the forms.

So this is a drop in spring that will work with all the previous de-priming dies ?
-
It’s great to have a community like this that give so much great input and information! Thanks guys for all the helpful info. I have placed a few sample orders and can’t wait to give them a try. I don’t have any experience just yet with these coated bullets but after trying the samples I will report back with the little bit of my info that I gather from them.
Thanks again and it anyone else feels like chiming in feel free. Thanks Tony
-
I appreciate everyone chiming in, I’m going to go on a few of these sites and order some of the samples give a few different ones a try and see what I like keep any more good info coming in thanks guys !

First attempt at loading coded bullets always been using jacketed hollow points.
So my question is “Blue bullets” or
“Black bullets” ? both prices seem to be the exact same but no experience with either one trying to get thoughts on what everyone’s using and for what reason. Thanks for any info Tony

I went with the 1050 just because that’s what I load on so I would have two of the same machines
that looks high tech .
CP2000 and RL1100

This video here shows the position of the RL1100 handle a little bit better I think.
