If you are set on the 1100 look at the evo as well. It will give you the chance to powdercheck/bulletfeed/size/crimp

Originally I handled cases so much i would always spot issues. Off the ground, brass size seperator, out of seperator, into wet cleaner, into seperator, into dehydrator, out of dehydrator, handfulls into plastic bag for lube, into collator(cant really see this), down tube on press, out of tray into rag to wipe some lube off, into the ammo storage box, into range bag, and into magazines. Ive pulled brass from every point in those listed steps but never spent time directly inspecting. I will only case gauge when setting up press or if ammo is going to competition.

Thank you for this. I am running mighty armory decap Mighty armory self centering swage hold Didnt do the tie wire stock shellplate. Ordering fw decap/tab set but their #3 is out of stock.

Still having issues. This press ran fine previous to automating. I was fighting torque issues got it running fine past that. Then every 3rd or 4th round through the decap pin on decap die would miss the case mouth and snap the pin. I got past that and got it running 50-60 rounds then it would jam on the extractor bar. Replaced that with Fast and friendly extractor. Now the decap pin is missing again. I bought an upgraded pawl Im going to install that and play with timing.

I think i prefer loading on a 1050/1100 or a 650/750. But I started on a 550 then added 650 then replaced 650 with 1100. But all along I held onto the 550. It is nice having a very fast to swap system that is capable of loading anything(essentially) at a low cost of caliber change. It is also very easy to learn on. The manual rotation of the shell plate makes it easy to control everything that happens. It is slower and more hands on but to start it will provide a solid start.

That is great results in my opinion Im not sure any of the following would pay off. The loss of 50 primers over 20,000 wouldnt be worth the cost of time/money to do better. -either tuning your autofiller or swiching to PAL style may help with primers -reduced speed can help with the crushed(4 isnt bad though) -using new brass(or at least 1 regular fire) will eliminate cracks -roll sizing would probably eliminate bulge for gauging I would decap and save the 8 upside down primers, the ones right side up I find the decap pin destorts the primer so just dump case after bullet and powder recovered.

I bought a case of 5k and I cant get them to run in anything but 2011's. 4 different sigs will fire second strike only. Only loaded 200 to test. but loaded 2k in tubes

Dillon rl 1100 or mark 7 apex

There is no way without combining seat and crimp. I setup a camera that looks in the case at the seating station. It is pretty effective. -
Broken 750 operating handle
m700 replied to Tampa-XD45's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I would guess that was an imperfection in the stock. I would expect that part to bend before it cracks. -
I sold my S2 because of this I was fed up with loading separately for a non primary gun. The best answer is to have barrel rechambered so that it likes everything you already make for other guns. Off hand I think I was loading 1.08" for the CZ. It was very easy to tell that apart from the rest of the ammo I make

I just got some now that im on 1100. I always thought it was just as easy to remove the toolhead and dump it but now that I have them I should have bought them when I was on 650.

223 Dillon size/trim die issues

New Double Alpha primer tube filler
m700 replied to slavex's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
I usually sit and load 16 tubes with primer pro. If your having issues try changing battery. Make sure they are coming single file at the mouth of the entrance to the drop. If they are double at this point the primers dont like to drop. The angle should keep single file moving quick which will make them drop square thus not jamming. When I first got it I took an over sized drill bit and chamfered the opening just slightly to remove any burr -
Dealing with water spots on wet washed brass.
m700 replied to esquared's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
I make the brass as dry as possible before thowing in dehydrators. Also you cant crowd the brass in dehydrators, if they are they wont fully dry. I have 3 dehydrators 1 is not as warm so it will run 3-4 hours on 223 2-3 on pistol. The other 2 run 2 hours -
I had it for about a year before running the M7. I kinda figured out that with any mishap recalibrate.

Thanks for the link. I did figure out this morning that Im losing calibration and not returning high enough to get the shell plate to fully spin. Im going to update firmware and retry

I messed up, Does anyone know a good way to separate powders?
m700 replied to JoeMKY's topic in General Reloading
Poke a hole in the side a little below where you believe it was to begin with. Then toss what comes out. If the load data were close to identical I may try mixing the whole jug loading it on the light end for plinking but probably not worth it. Drain the top inch or so and move on -
RL-1100 Changes when adding Mark 7 Autodrive
m700 replied to Highpowerindiana's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
The ball needs to stay as the shell pate is not on a motor it is pushed to index and the ball locks it into where it needs to go -
Im still not up and runnign from my black friday purchase. I figured 223 case prep was an easy place to start due to not needing as many sensors setup but I think I was wrong torque sense got me. I have the following Mighty armory dies setup Deprime, Swage hold down, Sizing, and Dillon trim die with rt1200. I set up each die individually with 1 case on shell plate but i ran into the issue that I kept hitting torque sense even upping max to 12. I adjusted the trim die up a little bit and was Ok for 50 cases or so then it started again. I reset the dies again and it seems to be ok but now the shell plate is only turning 60% and the allignment pin is hitting the shell plate. How do I adjust this?
