Again, looks at those numbers vs competitors at Nats. When your responses are below 1% of respondents, they are statistically insignificant. Depends on the application of the material for the job at hand so no, metal>plastic is most cases. A more affordable open architecture, lots of support, lots of options available that appear far in advance of the closed, much more expensive system...yeah Android/Apple is pretty appropriate. No, AmmoBot does not offer a press because the 1050 works just find for 100s of thousands of users around the world with a robust aftermarket, parts availability and options. Yes, the Op asked that and you decided to go off and provide incorrect information about AmmoBot which deserves correction so the the OP can make an informed decision.

I will put the quality of the AmmoBot sensors against others any day. There is nothing wrong with 3d printing parts that make sense to be 3d printed. They are generally stronger than injected parts when printed with the correct material and correctly designed. BTW, most of the plastics used to make injected and printed parts are the same. AmmoBot is made from steel. The 1050 is made from ductile iron. Lets make sure we are equating machine to machine. AB does not create ANY sensors for the M7. ImmortoBot has built an adapter cable that allows their sensors to be used on the M7...and they sell well. ImmortoBot actually completely understands how the M7 sensors work which is why, when customers asked, an adapter was produced. M7 sensors can also be used on the AB, again, via an adapter cable from ImmortoBot. This is because of the expandability of the AB over any other press. Speaking of expandable, another two companies have now produced other sensors for the AmmoBot, that makes four companies beside AmmoBot making things for them to make loading and processing easier. Let's count sensors now: 1 Berdan (decap), 2 Primer Pocket Probe, 3 Primer level (comes with the machine), 4 Powder hopper level, 5 Powder check, 6 Bullet Orientation (which also monitors case feed to the plate), 7 Case Discriminator, 8 Stepped brass (which also provides a bunch of other checks), 9 COAL. Don't forget the Case extractor for removing failed brass from the machine automatically. There are even more coming from ImmortoBot and others as well. Wondered how long before the USPSA "survey" results started showing up here as "proof"...again, like last year, to view those tiny numbers as meaningful in anyway is hilarious. Faster, more sensors, more expandable, more affordable...and support not hidden in "private" forums...Ammobot.

We are fully stocked with base units and conversion kits.

We are releasing our own casefeeder upgrade kit. It is a "drop in" requiring no modification of the bowl area or the face plates. The motor bolts in using the screws that currently hold the Dillon motor. It uses the existing switch and has a speed control dial. It will require the slot modification of the hole in the side of the feeder body that the current power cord exits from (to accommodate the DC power jack). The switch provides two settings now, forward and reverse, so backing out any jams between a case and the bowl takes less than a second to clear..just reach up, flip the switch to clear then flip back to run. It will keep up with the Rollsizer on both pistol and rifle and will handle substantially more cases in the bowl. We are finishing up an auto "jam" sensor that will reverse the direction to clear a jam and then run it normally again.

Yes, your order will be fine. If I have them in the distribution warehouse, they will ship directly from me here in the states. If we are out of stock and you order from the Australian site, they will ship in from there. It takes a little longer and costs a bit more in shipping because they ship direct instead of by the pallet load. We will be adjusting pricing on the ImmortoBot site based on better shipping rates to us from Australia soon.

Primer hold down dies have been in use for years in that station. The existing solutions for the Dillon head provide a MUCH more restrictive space than a full size die does. I have never heard of any issue of a primer pop causing any issues. Primers are not nuclear weapons. Why is there this persistent belief that a primer pop in a case is some huge event? Even if it was, there is a full die around the case, inside of an inch thick steel toolhead. The die will be blackened inside, and that's it. Primer tube cook off on a 1050 is almost always caused by failure to keep the press clean of residue primer compound from crushed primers. The priming system is designed to keep primers detonation well away from the stack and partially seals the stack with the slide itself. A pop under the tube is usually due to the idiotic practice of using a 650 liner with the brass tip and then cranking the nut down on it to crush it against the slide. It is plastic for a reason on a 1050, because you are sliding the exposed anvil back and forth under it. Any debris under that cup, high primer in the cup, anvil crushed through the liner and bang...right under the stack.

Dimensionally consistent, unlike the Dillon cast head. Enhanced cam in both function and location. Adjustable guide pin via set instead of a hammer. More easily adjusted primer pin. Ability to use the swage backer as just a swage backer, or other function depending on your needs. Ability to use a powder drop to do only that function which improves the ability of the Dillon system to provide more consistent drops. Ability to use a better solution (M die) on your brass for more consistent function on the bullet feeder and seating. We have customers running above 3000 an hour loading and about 3700 processing. Everything on this toolhead is there because customers, both home and commercial, asked for it. If you are happy with your Dillon head, then great. They come with the machine and are slightly cheaper to buy. This is for loaders that need these features for what they are doing.

We are spending machine time on what matters, the threading and dimensions. Machine time costs money. We are trying to keep this as affordable as possible. This is a tool head. They get beat up. If it looks pretty, then it's not being used correctly.

It will make the die black inside.

There is an upgrade for the Dillon feeder

There is an adapter cable available to allow you to use sensors that don't cost as much. Sold by another vendor.

Those are all customer videos, almost all of them commercial manufacturers producing 10s of thousands a month. Not slicked up, ideal condition, only the best lighting, etc. produced by a professional ad team. As for price, the AmmoBot costs less the 1050 itself, $1375, affordable for the home user and great return on investment for the professional as well.
