Speaking of rules, this isn’t a debate and rebuttals are prohibited. For a member with 22k post and around since 08, I would have thought you knew the rules. . 🌪🌪🌪 CLOSED

Meaning regardless of any political position... there is no real reporting done on any real topic that I care to know about... no news org seems worthy of my time or attention. its as non political as its gets...

This isn’t a political post man... regardless of politics, all news outlets have been brutal bud.

Man, overall the media has been brutal for a long time... of late I can’t even watch fox anymore. At this point I’m stuck getting news from online sites and forums. Its brutal that I can’t turn on a TV and tune into the news without utter nonsense being spewed by one side or the other.

Assume so! I really saw no reason to look R the 1100 vs 1050’s. Im sure they will be nice but no need for me:)

I know this is an older thread, I’ve wanted one of these for a while... recommendations on where to find one?

I think I’m just gonna roll with what i have... have not had any issues to this point. They did look a bit off but, since they are working, I’m not messing with it

Yes, did this a few days ago!! I’m pumped about it. Hard to beat that sale they had. Now the wait... i hope it’s not to bad. I was told maybe 3 weeks. We will see!

I think I’m going ammobot!!! The $1500 extra cost doesn’t seem like it’s worth it to get the mk7

Hey all, I have been loading on my 1050's for a while. I am not sure but do the primers look to be seated to deep? The two on the left are 45acp and 9mm that I have loaded. They shoot perfectly and I have no issues, however they do look a bit "crushed" The two on the right is factory ammo that was laying around. Thoughts and advice? https://flic.kr/p/2h9Z5PD

Im still watching it. I still find it entertaining. Fear the walking dead... I am done with that one though.

I was thinking the same... looks sweet man! Nice job!

Yeah, I think the ammobot looks great, and given the sale I think its pretty much a easy choice. Just wanted to ask what thoughts were here and to ensure its running reliably.

Finally going to jump into a auto drive. I don’t think I want to send my machine off to have a fortch drive added, so I guess it will come down to a Mark 7 or AmmoBot. There is a 20% off sale that AmmoBot has going so, $1200 or so for the Bot seems to be a heck of a deal. Is there any other drive worth considering? What are you veterans opinions on automation? Looking forward to your thoughts!

Already thankful to those original adopters! Cheer for the info via DM! Cheers brother!

I've been going through my set up of late considering one of these new Mark7 loaders. I cant help but to wonder how the heck I actually got to this point. Currently there is a Super 1050 set up in 45acp, an RL 1050 set up in 9mm, and a XL 650 set up in 223... but have all other quick changes either on the 1050 or 650 that I shoot. When looking I cant help but think this is way over kill. Anyone else every thought about moving from multiple presses down to one... maybe even two? I probably have close to most reloaders dream set up over here... just realized, wow... I have major money wrapped up in loading gear. I remember when I started, my first press was a XL650. Moved from that to 2 XL650's. Sold those and went to a single RL 1050. once I stopped shooting for a few years, I moved those presses and moved. I couldnt stand the thought of paying for ammo so I picked up a 550... Shortly after I got a Super 1050. Came up on a "yard sale deal" on an RL1050 and added that, and then traded a 550 for a 650.... its been a crazy 20 years or so... at least in terms of reloading and that process. What as been your progression of presses? Any regrets? What does your current set up consist of?

Ill pretty much echo what most have said here... PM9 is about as good as it gets for the money!

Hey guys, been in and out of here for a while now. I’ve kept up with most of the threads but I haven’t been overly granular with each post. If you’ve seen posts here before i was considering moving from Blue to MK7... with that said, I have been putting it off due to the issues MK7 was having getting their press to function consistently. have these issues been worked out? I’ll gladly make the move, but could never do it if the press is just not running reliably. I have the opportunity to jump into either the revo or evo based o. A gift and am trying to figure out if most people are rolling smoothly these days. Based on conversations with Dan and the people at MK7, everything being out out of pretty much flawless (powder drop +\-.3) across the board. Can anyone confirm that all issues (for the most part) are now fixed and taken care of? BC

4Roses is some of my all time favorite bourbon... esp for the money. Hard to beat a single barrel store pick... esp a OBSK, OBSO, or OESK. Any of them will due though!

I actually have found that both will work fine... as some mentioned you dont get that "sticking"... I still do regardless of the funnel. Its pretty minimal though... I dont even notice it much these days.

I find it interesting that some do not like the Dillon Dies. Outside a few of the things I have read here (doesnt punch primers 100%) what other issues do you all have? I run all Dillon Dies on my machines and dont seems to notice any real issues. I have ad the primer issues but, outside of that... they have been pretty solid. I guess price on them can be an issue? I guess if I were doing it over the micrometer die would be my first choice, but I also love the fact that Dillon dies are carbide.

Wow... now rethinking the whole thing. Uh, total let down reading this stuff:(

I didnt want to start a new thread so I figured popping over to this thread was the right move. I am considering an EVO! With that said, I would be getting rid of a lot of blue press stuff to fund it. I am hoping you guys can guide me through some decisions... Is the Evo or Evo pro the better choice? I currently do not have a drive on my 1050's and pulling a handle doesnt bug me. I think the auto drive would be sweet but 6K plus on a press is not cheap. Not gonna get into the whole "is it worth it" convo on this thread but, I am curious if the thoughts are Standard or Pro. Also, is the Evo the Evo? Meaning if I buy the Evo can I later convert it all the way up to the pro? I have gotten mixed info on this. It would be nice to break up the cost a bit and buy the regular evo and add drive later if possible... I think I read/or was told the Evo pro and the Evo are two totally different presses. Anyway give me some thoughts on this? I would essentially be going from 2 1050's and a 650 to either the Evo or Evo pro (in 9mm and 45) and keeping the 650 (or selling the 650 and keeping 1 1050 and having an evo). I am not looking for thoughts on what I should keep etc... Just thoughts specific to Evo or Evo Pro.

Wow.. This is interesting.

loving this last season so far. GOT is probably the best series start to ___ (Where we are now) that I have seen.
