Mark 7 Evolution - General Discussion
LowBoost replied to LowBoost's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
If anyone is interested, I posted my new Evo Pro for sale in the Classifieds section. -
Thanks for the info. Just ordered the parts.
-
I currently have a foldable 1-piece stock on my SBRd MPX. I want to get a Thordsen picatinny buffer tube adapter to install a standard stock (Mission first tactical min or Magpul CTR). This being said, do I need a recoil system? (JP 9mm Silent captured spring, buffer spring)
-
I sent Brian an email Yesyerday. Awaiting his response. He’s local to Texas. I also posted my new Dillon feeder with Immortobit upgrade for sale at $100 discount from what I paid for it less than a month ago.
-
Kevin: Even with Mark's upgrade for the Dillon case it still needs modification? Well, regardless. I think I will put mine for sale and get a feedinator (I just found out HasGrok is local to Texas!)
-
@Smithcity: Any updates? I have been remodeling my "man cave" and have not used either the M7 Evo Pro nor the roll-sizer. Would like to hear more feedback about the feedinator to see if I can list my new/upgraded Dillon one and order this one.
-
Good to hear. I haven't had any hobby time in a while, but I will wait to hear some more of your feedback. I think I will post my new Dillon case with ImmortoBot upgraded motor for sale and try this one.

Mark7 Evolution - Tuning & Troubleshooting
LowBoost replied to Nigels1911's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
Well.. seems you guys have been having fun with your EVOs. Unfortunately, I have been extremely busy at work and have not even finished setting up mine yet. Mostly the bullet sensor and now that I have the harness for the swage sense and primer sensor I can enable those. I also need to setup the powder check sensor and pour some powder into the hopper and set my charge. (Looks I need to do a lot more than I thought LOL) I hope I can take care of this tomorrow. -
Thanks for the advice. I'll give my 10.5" a try. I really like my Trijicon AccuPower 1-8 (Actually better than my NX8) and Geissele SAA-E trigger. I'll try it with and without suppressor to see how it does. In all honesty, I am not in a rush to buy something. In fact, I thought that replacing the BCG for a lighter one and replacing the A2 buffer/spring for a Silent Capture would be a better/cheaper option. Thanks everyone for your input
-
Don't get me wrong I have built ARs and have purchase fully built ones as well for other purposes (defense, hunting, etc). I am looking for something I can use for the "game" and be soft and flat shooting. This is a different animal from those I have built and purchased before, hence why I thought about purchasing something built. Besides being "overpriced", is there any reason you guys do not recommend a JP, Lantac, Armalite or any other high-end rifles?
-
My Noveske has the switch block (Off, Suppressed, On), so a lighter bolt carrier with stock buffer/spring will help? Apologies for the newbie questions. Can you provide a quick rough list of brands I should look for? I would certainly not mind building it. Lower: Upper: Barrel: Adj gas Block: Bolt Carrier Group: Sprig/Buffer: Stock: Trigger: Handguard:
-
Meh. I don't oppose it if it ultimately yields a better outcome than buying a complete build. I just thought that many would actually recommend getting one from those reputable builders. But a nice lower with a proof research barrel, a nice thin and light handguard, etc sounds like a good idea. Perhaps I should try JP Silent Captured Spring and lightweight bolt carrier in my 10.5" and see how it goes before a build? Will it improve at all or should I go straight to a new build/purchase? @hlpressley - No pricing yet
-
I checked the Armalite. Looks like a good option. I wonder how it compares to the JP and Lantac as it is half their price.
-
Getting into some local AR matches (Mostly steel and other targets) from 50 - 300 yards. I currently own a suppressed Noveske 10.5" CQB that I don't believe is up for the task (Unless you convince me otherwise). I thought about adding a JP Silent Captured Spring to it and probably help with recoil and flatten the front. I was thinking about a 14.5" JP PSC-11 with CTR-02 lower (I like the option of both charging handles) or a LANTAC Raven (Yes, I know they are two completely different guns for different scenarios). I would like soft and flat shooting that is easy to maneuver (as I will be moving a lot), but that can also have a decent group to hit 300 yards with the proper bullet. I don't want to experiment with a bunch of parts and a custom build unless absolutely required. I thought 55gr would do for blasting through, but maybe I should look for a 62gr or even a 69gr bullet? I don't plan to reload for 5.56, so I need to test and select what bullet I will set on. I will be using my Trijicon 1-8 scope. Thoughts / Suggestions?
-
Correct, I had no problem with those when I processed my 9mm brass. I played a bit with the tube height until I got it right. I'll try and post photo for you.
-
Man, you are bending my arm. LOL I would also consider buying that one if it would work with the RollSizer, but I would need to sell my new Dillon + Immortobot case feeder first.
-
I am not bashing either, just letting you know my experience so far. In all honesty, if I would have known about the feedinator before, I would have probably tried that as well. I just got my Dillon case feeder and Immortobot upgrade last week and ran a batch of brass. I won't be using it for a while, so I will eagerly wait for your review and I may sell mine (I like gray or black better than blue. Blue also messes my room color matching and OCD *pun intended*). This being said, the Immortobot does slow down during a jam and you can flip the switch and it will reverse. I didn't have to use that feature at all and based on the video posted above, I have the Immortobot running faster than that with the RollSizer with 6 pins.
-
SmithCity: I have ImmortoBot's upgraded motor for the Dillon case-feeder. I also get brass jamming at the funnel, but this is not a case feeder problem, but funnel or perhaps a slimmer hose may help as well. I run all six pins and since speed is adjustable, I just slow it down a bit so there is no stack in the hose. Just barely there. I processed over 5k in an hour with probably a handful of late feeds causing the shell plate jams. Not bad as most of the time it ran flawlessly without issues.
-
Don't forget one more test... If your AOL gets more consistent as well.
-
Does anyone need a 308 conversion (For commercial version)? I have a brand new one I will not use and will be getting a 5.56 instead.

Mark 7 Presses worth the money?
LowBoost replied to donttreadonme's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
If you are getting just 2 thousand of a difference (1.165 - 1.167) with mixed brass, you are golden! There are people that don't get that with even with the same headstamp! (Possibly something wrong in there) -
It is an upgraded motor that allows your case feeder to keep up with the RollSizer at full speed. ImmortoBot Dillon Case Feeder Upgrade

Mark 7 Evolution - General Discussion
LowBoost replied to LowBoost's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
Is the Frankford Arsenal Vibra-Prime a good alternative? Otherwise, I'll just buy more primer tubes and load them the night prior to a reloading session. -
Waiting for mine to arrive. I also ordered the Dillon case feeder upgrade, so the order probably got delayed.

LowBoost replied to LowBoost's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
OK - With that price the primer collator is out of the wishlist for a while, plus I just got the roll-sizer. Does a Dillon RF still the best choice or will I experience issues that will require some tweaking with it?
