Dam it… I'm in! Got (4) 5gal buckets that have been procrastinated long enough on!

Casepro “GOOD” News Folks! Looks like Casepro changed their URL to www.casepro100.com because the old site ran out. They are still in business and doing quite well. Spoke to Crystal this morning who informed me of this information and on the current situation. Those of us who have had orders can look forward in possibly getting their machine before Christmas. Crystal mentioned they had run into a few problems in production which they have been able to resolve. When I get my Casepro machine I will be posting an evaluation, pictures and my impressions. I’ll keep you all posted. Below is Casepro’s information in case you all need it. Kirk M. Website: http://www.casepro100.com/ Email: http://www.casepro100.com/EMAILnew.htm Phone: (847) 931-5071

Steve, I'm in the same boat as you, I also ordered a unit 2 months ago. I explained to Crystal Fleury "Manager of Operations" the website was down… email system had stopped, she seemed “surprised”? Not sure what is going on but doesn't look good. Contacted her two weeks ago and she said they were almost done but I've been told this before. The phone numbers I have are (847) 931-5071 & (309) 750-9113. If you get an answer please PM me with the results.

I'm in for SP2.

Sorry guys but save your money for the HoserCam. I reviewed all the different systems out on the market about 6 months ago and Nolan the maker of the HoserCam wins hands down. The other cam systems can’t hold a candle to the HoserCam for quality, reliability, functionality and not least Nolan stands behind his products. A great man to do business with and trust. You won’t be sorry and you’ll know you’ve made the right decision once you have a HoserCam. Thanks, Kirk

Sorry to say I have to give two thumbs down. Got one late last year and had nothing but problems. Dillon worked with me on it but never could get to run. I was using Winchester primers and would get 2 to 5 turned the wrong way out of 100 primers. When you’re loading on a Super 1050 you don’t want a primer turned the wrong way. I now own 20 small & large primer tubes now. They never fail!

Pete, I went through the same dilemma back in January and ended up purchasing a Super 1050 from Brian. I'm not going back to the 650 unless something happens to my 1050 and Dillon is unable to get the parts to me. I'm even planning on getting my second 1050 in a few months, easy Brian don't start licking your chops yet! HE HE!

++1 on the Redding Competition Dies. Used both Dillon & Redding over the years; 9mm, 40SW, 45ACP, 357Mag, 44Mag and 38SC. My number one choice is Redding, you may pay more but you get more in the end!

Dirtypool40, Sorry to hear about your problems with the new Super 1050 machine, first it was the primer system and now the case feeder issue. Right about now you have me scared to hell because I just put in a rather large order with BE. Ordered a new Super 1050 (38 Super Comp), caliber conversions and some accessories, all total about a 2K. I hope “Dillon the “Official” voice on BE.com” is reading your posts and helping you with your problems. I just returned from the Shoot Show where I spoke with two other Dillon press owners (RL550 and XL650) who have received units in the last couple months with problems also. Not quite sure if Dillon is paying attention to detail or not. My wife ordered a RF 100 for Xmas which turned out to be a nightmare, 15 hours of trying everything and it just wasn’t going to work. BE was EXCELLENT with customer service and sending it back to Dillon for a full refund, thanks to BE for all his help. Please keep us informed with your progress, I’m sure Dillon will work with you in correcting what ever issues you may have. Good Luck!

Chuck, Not so sure of the picture with Jake but is that you in the background with all those women! Dan, Put down the beer and get to work on my gun, you about to receive another frame from me. Now you owe me two! OK, you get my gun done and I’ll have a special delivery for you. I real woman in a thong holding a case of your favorite beer! Just think, you may be able to bait gunsmiths like deer!

Love my new background on the screen!

+1 on the T-Shirts for me.

ima45dv8, 10-4, 10-4 on the UPS Gorilla man. You must have the same guy. Here is his MO - Truck pulls up on my stone driveway, back doors fling open and out come my delivery. He then backs up over my package, throws the truck into drive (Runs over my package for the seconded time) and takes off laughing. That SOB….

Merlin, Is that the way Dillon ships that press? If so, it will never make to the East Coast with UPS or FedEx handling it.

Hey guys! Just got back from the Shot Show in Vegas and had a great time, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas . OK, stopped by Dillon and talked with the boys and made up my mind. IT’S A RL1050B ALL THE WAY. I made one mistake though, stopped at GSI booth that makes the bullet feeder for the 650 & 1050. I’ll have it in 6 – 8 weeks so I need to order that RL1050B from Brian ASAP, it will make him happy! Thanks for all the input and help! Let you all know how it goes setting everything up including the bullet feeder, will take pictures and post.

Nolan, It looks like your coming back weighting 15 more pounds from of all that food & Red Label JW! Have fun - Kirk!

Great news! If help is needed I'm in. email me if you all need help.

I’m currently looking at a Dillon XL650 or Super1050 press for loading 9mm and 40SW. I currently own a RL550B and XL650 press but need another press to achieve higher output. The press I need has to-do the following really well: 1. Load 9mm Major without throwing powder all over the place (I use VV 3n37 about 8 ~ 8.4 gr) for USPSA/IPSC shoots. With this amount of power the case is about 80% full. I’m very concern about the Super 1050 after reading posts about powder being thrown all over they place due to a hard indexing issues. 2. Load standard 9mm rounds for the GSSF shoots. 3. Load lots of 9mm for practice – currently shoot about 1200 ~ 2200 rounds a month. 4. Press also will need to do 40SW loads for GSSF & IPSC shoots. I love both my RL550 and XL650 but not sure if I want to get another XL650 or move up to a Super 1050. Also, can someone who owns a XL650 and a Super 1050 tell me which has a smoother indexing and handle pull. All comments and suggestions are welcomed. – Thanks PS – Going to shot show in Vegas next week… You can be dam sure I’m stopping at Dillon’s booth!

Now thats a Pimp Daddy rig if I ever seen one - To much for me!

+3 on "If it ain't broke..." I've used both MG & Zero, MG happens to work better for my guns. Check both bullet manufactures out and see which works best for you.

Thanks guys for the fast responses. I'm using a Bedell Custom Open rig for those who have asked.

I'm starting to reload 9mm Major and have read posts on this forum concerning which primers to use. Should I use pistol or small rifle primers for 9mm Major loads? I am starting with the following load: - Once fired Win or Fed cases. - VV 3n37 Powder (7.8 - 8.1 gr). - Zero 125gr JHP. - Winchester WSP or WSR primers? Thanks for the input.
