I'll take one 5k box of Major sort brass.

It appears that everglades ammo is 1.145 in OAL.
I am testing some reloads at 1.165 OAL 124 RN and am having no issues with my SAS II UR.
JHP vs RN... But maybe longer and it will feed?

They run, I have 15k rounds on a MBX Pro from last year.
Buying a second MBX now for a match only blaster, keeping my first for practices.
Other positive... I run ETS mags almost exclusively with no issues. Great to just throw around the new ETS 40 round mags at sub twenty bucks for a magazine.

Maybe things might improve since Lyman has bought the company.

Lyman is bringing production scale... Mark 7 is staying on Florida. I honestly do not want Lyman customer support that can troubleshoot a Lyman turret press, giving me advice on my Evo Pro.
I like being able to contact support at Mark 7 and being asked for video of my issue or to be in front of the machine so they can walk me thru troubleshooting process.
My support issues this past month were solved 2 of 2 with stellar service from Mark 7.

The maker also designed the offload funnel I use as well... Have fun printing for your Mark7 Evo.
-
There's also a 3d printed funnel option as well. Free/low cost is your have access to a printer.

Here are some Mods I made to my Evo to make reloading easier on me.
3. Case collator mod. I do have the 3d printed part, but had cases coming up mouth first and getting caught on the point of the part. This simple mod works fine.
I was having the same issue, the designer of the knubble says I should take out the screw heads on the shellplate and it would be fixed. I personally just left the clamp in place on the printed fix.
My video with the test print (I reprinted one that looks better now):

FWIW do you guys have an additional nut on the powder adjustment? Previously mine would still tighten in process of actuation, added another nut and the issue went away.
Also are you doing any extra flaring with the powder measure? I do all my flaring with the Lee Die loaded with MBF expansion, and just have the powder drop go for actuation, but no additional flaring.
Just spitballing ideas here. Good luck with your powder measures.

Gents,
Fyi, last thursday MK 7 posted the long awaited Evolution parts diagrams on the MK 7 community forum!
SHHH i feel special and you just ruined it....

Rollsizer is automated and more expensive.
Decide if you want an automated rollsizer from the beginning or want to go manual.
Not sure on casepros current lead time but I did wait ten months for mine so if double check with roll sizer on their lead time from payment to setting at your door.

Can someone tell me how many primer tubes come with the Evo+Auto? Or even just the Evo?
Just wondering how many more to order. I have an RF-100 as well.
Any suggestions/tips
?
With an RF-100 user, you hit the button... load primers while loading.... by the time you need another 100 primers, the tube is loaded.
The RF100 tube fits on to the Evo primer tube (there is a cutout for the primer alarm for the rf-100), just need to push on the tube a bit.

Sorry bud..good luck on heating and getting it off...
Mark 7 assured there's no hex inside the threaded cap?
-
Just a sanity check...
The sprocket you are putting on has a different teeth count then the one currently installed?
I was in your situation, but sometime mentioned that the teeth were the same... Sure enough.. Same teeth count.
I converted Mark 7 X to Evolution Pro though....

I believe there are already multiple Evolution (Pro) owners so just ask...We are too busy unloading and loading with our shiny evolutions and revolutions...
Sold Super 1050 for Evolution.. zero regrets, loading right after setup manually then added Conversion for my auto drive and now just basking in a pile of ammo.
Do it again? Yes.. sell Super 1050 in March 2018, no next time I would wait longer, but take a larger loss on the Super 1050.
Dillon is going to have to compete by including all the aftermarket fixes that have sprung up. It's almost hilarious how much better the evolution is compared to a super 1050 for $200 bucks extra.

I designed an ammo chute for the Mark 7. I heard it also works on Dillon 1050.
It's a 10x10cm square that shrinks into a 52.2mm circular tube that fits common vacuum cleaner hoses.

Printing this tonight!
I Had to figure out how to move the model around in Cura Slicer to not print at a weird angle. Doing the chute and the Case feeder this weekend.
-
I went Hornady LnL > 650XL > Super 1050 > Evolution.
Wish the evolution was a press when I started 15+ years ago.
No regrets selling Super 1050 and upgrading to Mark 7 Evolution.

Just out of curiosity did the Evolution Pro come with a handle. If so you could put the motor in neutral and run manually until everything is set up and working perfectly.
Yes, there is a left side that you can attach a handle or socket wrench too to manually drive the Evo Pro - once the Mark 7 Autodrive is in netrual or stopped.
10 hours ago, Smithcity said:Looks great! Is it just me or are you expanding more than you need before the bullet feeder? On my 650 with the mr bullet feeder expander, the case expansion is minimal.
I drive excessive flare as that it keeps the bullet in place and doesn't scrape the polymer coating when fired or pulled. I could dial it back a bit, but then I deal with bullet toppeling and scraping issues. It also could be that I use a Lee Undersize die and the bit more of flare/expansion is needed as my cases are a bit undersized as well.
-
Finally had some time to run some ammo this evening... Nice and slow.
Case feeder is going to be the death of me... Seems cases are dislodging the Shell plate.

Looks just like mine that shipped with the Manual Evolution 2 weeks ago. Besides finding another nut to lock (3/8-24) the adjustment in place, it works great.

The next 3D print release will be a kludge for the case feeder.
It sits between the body and the rotor and prevents 9mm casings from ruining the party by sneaking in sideways.
Still a work in progress. Version 1 turned out to be dud, it _almost_ worked.
Version 2 shows more promise . It's a hodgepodge of angles and fillets but much cleaner than v1.
I will release the STL once it has been tested enough.
(It is overbuilt because I want it to print without ANY supports)
Looks like great progress! I am interested in the STL when you are ready.

I have been strongly considering getting a Mark7 1050 Pro Autodrive, but I have read a lot of posts of users having issues with it.
I recognize that most issues are with the S1050 and not the Mark7 (Especially in the primer station).
I would like to gauge your opinions on getting one or saving up some money, selling the S1050 and getting a Mark7 Evo Pro?
For the cost of an Evo Pro I can get the AutoDrive and a CasePro 100! LOL
I sold my Super 1050 when the Evolution became available as I wasn't committed into the Super 1050, only reloaded one caliber, no extra toolheads etc. I was able to keep my autodrive and convert it to an Manual Evolution...
Only regrets was I reloaded on a 550B this year as I waited for my Evolution to be shipped. Now running my evolution pro, all the money lost on selling my Super 1050, the time and waiting was worth it.

I followed the document sent to me by support for tuning the priming system. The only thing I needed to adjust slightly was a set screw that determines the rearward travel of the primer slide. I ran 300 rounds tonight without trouble except for the continued issue of primers sticking to the mighty armory pin. Out of 300 I had about 10 stoppages due to the decaping. The sensor should help speed clearing those once I get it.
Looks great!
You are a couple of steps ahead of me..
- Tonight attach Mark 7 Autodrive (waiting on a tool, Sucks living in rural flyover state, everything has to be UPSed in)...
- Next week play with swagesense.

Be as cool as Crash.

Heat the gear up with a heat gun and it will come off. I had to do that.
Thanks.. I had the heat gun out but apparently not enough heat applied. Ordered a new Allen hex drive showing up tomorrow... I've bent my Allen wrenches for today.

So far the machine is frustrating for me. And I loaded probably 60k on my m7x/1050. The case feeder has run flawless as well as the bullet feeder.
Crash you did the 1050 to Evo autodrive conversion.
Trying to attach my Mark 7 X autodrive this morning.. any tricks on getting that small Allen to budge on the motor gear.
