Ordered! Thank you! Anything else?!

Tracking info says it will be here Friday!!

I've read it several times! Excited to get it!

I have one. I'm happy with it!

The waiting really is the hardest part!!

Is the swager included in the large primer conversion? I was planning on loading the .308 on my 550.

I just ordered a S1050 in small primer. I plan to use it to prep .308 brass as well. Do I need a large primer conversion? I won't be loading the .308 on the 1050.

Placed my S1050 order with Brian today!!

Did you fabricate the power drive on your 1050?

I needed to get out and stretch my legs today, so I drove 150 miles to a reloading shop that had a 650 in stock. I kept an open mind and checked it out. Drove home without a new press. I'm sure I want the 1050. Thanks for all of the advice and info!

I already use the Hornady lock rings. This is good to hear. I think I'll try it out this way at first.

I appreciate all of the input! Which bullet feeder is the one to get?

I am liking the pro-650 comments. I wish I could try a 650. I can fully load a 650 including bullet feeder for what a 2 caliber 1050 will cost... Hmm..

I've been reading, researching and bugging Brian Enos for the past several weeks concerning buying a new 1050. I load my .45acp and .223 on a 550 currently. I really, really want auto index and a case feeder. I kinda geek out on reloading gear and tools/equipment in general and the 1050 looks like an amazing machine for lots of reasons. The built in swager, prime on the down stroke, on and on. All looks great. My goals for the 1050 would be: 1. Bulk load .45acp 2. 5.56/.223 brass prep 3. Bulk load .223 4. Quick deprime in .223, .45acp and .308 I'm ok with spending the money if the press is "that good". My hesitation is in the caliber change. 20-30 minutes doesn't bother me. My .45acp brass is small primer, so everything is good to go with one priming setup. I've read so many "caliber changes take forever" sort if stuff that it has me second guessing buying the 1050. Anyone wanna help convince me, or talk me into a 650?

All three of my forty-fives (1911, XDm 3.8 bad. XDs) loved 4.5gr Titegroup seated to 1.230. So, I loaded up 700

Yes, they are the plated round nose.

I have had my Dillon 550b for two years. I am about to get down to loading some .45acp on it for the first time since I brought it home. I have everything all set up.. Except my powder selection and charge. I have Power Pistol and Titegroup on hand. The bullets are Berry's 230 gr rn. I have scoured the web for good load data. I understand these plated bullets should be loaded like they are Lead Round Nose (LRN). Hodgon's website lists 4.0 - 4.8 Titegroup on a 230 LRN. I have found some reference to 6.4ish as a good starting load for Power Pistol. Thought I'd check in and see if anyone has any first hand experience. I'm kinda wanting to use the Power Pistol if I can..
