I can’t think of a single reason why I’d get a 1050 instead of an Evolution... the price difference when you take into account the bulletfeeder is minimal and Mark 7’s machine is superior, by a long shot.
-
Do you process brass? If you do, expand when processing with a Redding Expander or Lyman M-die.
-
I believe I found the switch, and it looks like I can choose from 103,5v, 115V and 126,5V. Is it the same on yours?
Hmm I don’t think so... mine is a 220v native machine! Contact Jay Hirshberg on FB before doing anything with that switch, your machine may be different than mine! -
The devil? I swear by my Hornady die and it produces GREAT ammo!
-
I bought them used, and unfortunately there are very few used 220V drives around. According to their website they run at both voltages, so I didn't think much of it. I'm waiting for a response from Mark 7.
There’s a tutorial for machines which don’t run at speeds over 1.800rph due to low voltage output from the electricity network. It is on Mark VII’s website, find it and it will show you how to open the electronics console and where the switch is. VERY easy! One of the extremes is 110v, the other one is for 220v and the one in the middle is for mediocre electricity output from developing countries like the one I live in. -
A clean press and workplace means that they aren't being used.
It is dirty already, it would be dirty-er, haha!It's sometimes difficult to have one's cake and eat it also ! [emoji3]
True, true...

Get a single stage and deprime on it.
But that’d defeat the purpose of getting an autodrive to never pull a handle again. LOL -
I'd suggest skipping the dry tumbling - deprime and then tumble w/pins. After that, you may proceed as desired.
But that’d make my press and workplace dirty. -
So is that remedied by a change to the decapping die or tumbling/cleaning process?
I dry tumble my brass, and now I want to de-prime after that, process and wet clean with SS pins. But I can’t deprime with decapping pins that are either easy to break, hard to change or both. -
I have crappy brass. VERY CRAPPY.
-
The Lee die is $15 shipped on amazon. No way I’d spend $50 on a decapping die.
But if you do, let us know what you think!

I’d rather spend more but once. I already have the Hornady one and with spares I’m already over 50 bucks! -
I just came across these guys: https://mightyarmory.com/
Seems like my quest is over. I'm ordering tomorrow and I'll update this thread as soon as I can get my hands on it!
-
I currently load un-processed brass so I size and decap in the same station with a Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension die.
I want to start processing brass so I want to do that in different stations, and I would like to have a decapping die that allows me to change decapping pins easily and quickly. Doing that with the Hornady dies is a total PITA!
Thoughts?
-
The 1050’s priming system makes me wonder how can these machines can be used commercially... it is SO BAD.
-
What about N330? I think I read on VV’s website that it is THE 9mm Minor powder.
-
Any advantage to the Pro (versus X) on a 1050 for 9mm only? Doesn't seem like a big upgrade for the $$.
For those with a Swage sensor: do you need to use the Dillon combo expander/backup die? Seems like that would be the case. If so, I've got to rework my case expansion approach since I'm using a Lee expander in the swage station.
Thanks
I use Redding’s expander in place of the OEM Dillon Swage Backup Rod successfully. -
You can get special order .356 from them.
-
Expansion is more important than belling, IMHO.
-
I'm still having the issue. My bell is .03 larger than the case.
Checked the sizing die [emoji106]
Should I purchase and add the expander die or the powder funnel. If I go the expander route can I add it after the powder drop.
1resize/deprime
2 powder bell (which I would alleviate) or powder funnel and skip step 3
3. Expander
4 seat
5 crimp.
That'd be ok. -
Redding Expander / Lyman M-Die... that should solve your problems. If you can't fit an additional die in your press, you could try with DAA's Mr Bulletfeeder powder funnel.
-
Don't look any further than the Dillon 1050.
-
Max OAL as per SAAMI specs is 29.70mm, or 1.1693in.
-
With two of my friends, we've loaded over 50.000 rounds of 9mm using .356 and even .357 plated bullets with Hornady's Seat + Crimp dies. We've never had a single problem!

This thing deserves its own stand...contacting Dan at Inline Fabrications. This looks like it's right in his wheelhouse.
Really? ???
I'd love one, I've always hated the MBF's mounting method. Especially when you have to install it and regulate it for the first time, it is a total PITA!
