A friend with both appreciates being able to feel primers seat (loading 9mm) on the 750 vs not feel anything on the 1100...
I've been loading on a 550c and just bought a friend's 750 (he bought an 1100). Looking forward to most likely double production for the time spent, but I *rarely* had any issues on my 550.
Coming from a 650 to an 1100, I initially missed the "feel" of the primer being seated. But being able to adjust the seating depth, and coming to trust the 1100, I wouldn't look back. Having the swager is a game changer!

Just check that a magazine on a pouch-mounted magnet doesn't put it beyond 2 1/8th inches for Prod, SS or CO.
-
I hope it's more durable, my DPP was sent back so many times I gave up on it. The window is considerably smaller than my 3XL's though...

I just bought the Grams follower/spring for Sig P320 X5 17 round mag with +5 TTI baseplate. I am getting less than 22 rounds with this setup. What is wrong? Why am I getting led rounds?
I called Grams and they had me check some things but nothing came about it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Seems like others with this setup are getting 23 rounds.
I had this problem as well. The spring isn't fully seated at the bottom of the basepad, it's getting hung up. Try reassembling the mag.
-
The display of rounds per hour is cool too. Fairly worthless, but cool!

I used the Armanov digital counter on my RL1050. It does a bunch of things; counts cases down the chute into the bin. It works great. Has a memory function, press maintenance interval etc. I just use it for counting loaded rounds. Works great! By the way, I found I did not need to install the included LED light since I have the Starlight already installed. Super clean installation as well.
I echo cbrussell's post. I have the Armanov on my 1100. Works great, nice installation location, no complaints!

My setup is remarkably similar to Bills’ above.
-
It sits very low, almost not legal with an X5 Legion. Took a bit to get used to it!
-
With the new rules, moving a BOSS hanger more towards the front, really dug into my leg due to its’ length. Trying the Nevermiss with the pad, seems legit. I also messaged them with a question and got an instant response!
-
People still buy these?

I'll echo some of the above comments. You may need to generate some heat. The electric vest is great! I have 2 batteries that will last all day on the highest setting. I also use hand and toe warmers, wool socks, etc.
-
I have several RHT holsters, all work great! Never had a gun pop out resetting steel, pasting targets, harassing the range staff, etc...
-
Maybe it also has the tighter lockup of the original X5...
-
Odd, I have about 20 mags, never seen this!
-
I'd run them in practice for a bit. Mine were very tight for a while, but then loosened up. I can now do 23+1 with no problems...
-
Springer plates on my 2... Works great!
-
It is an ideal mount for now, but if the "latest and greatest" sight is different, or if Sig changes the bolt pattern...
-
Made a few target traps and shot in the basement for the first time. Great tool here in the Northeast where it's 20 degrees outside! Used 1/2 scale targets and worked great!

I used an xtreme Heavy plated 124 at that length and it fit. I did see some other try some 124 JHP and they wouldn’t. I guess that it has to do with the profile of the Bullet that is used.
Xtremes are more "slender" and tend to be more forgiving when loaded longer...
-
I agree with you, Chutist. I have 2 with 3XL's on Springer plates. Great setup!
-
Does it go bang when you pull the trigger?
-
Interesting. Much faster than using a single stage...

Another fan of the Karl Bibb bullet feeder. Look him up on Facebook...

I have never had an unprimed case, but do recommend an endoscope to check for a good powder charge (I have a bullet feeder).

Several have done it! Much more comfortable to me. I started with a dremel and then finer sandpaper. Looks like factory! I think Alma has a YouTube video of his process.
