    Awesome set up you have there . I have the smaller roll sizer which I should have got the bigger one but it gets the job done . I just had the primer station blow up a few primers on my 1100, I just filled the tube too. I’ve had nothing but problems with that presses priming system. I am just gonna use to now to process brass and load on my apex 10 . I never had any issues with the disc style priming on my apex or when I had XL650.

    My Cp2000 has a primer pocket check stage. It will pick up a ringer and stop the machine. That will reak havoc on the RL1100 press, Cause the new primer to explode

    I currently have an automated RL1100 and  an apex 10 ( not automated ) . I use my 1100 to process pistol and rifle brass  but only load  pistol on it and it’s a pain in the ass. Is it worth having one dedicated press or am I over thinking my whole brass process ? 

    I also have a dedicated Rl1100 just for priming. I prime all my brass first. Then powder and bullets on the 2nd pass. On the CP2000 I run it at 2100 CPH. Its quick.

    I have this same A01 LD LTD. I love it. I had a stock DWX recently and took my A01, the DWX, my Accushadow2 and my Atlas Titan to get a feel for how the DWX compared. I sold DWX this week. It's a good gun but it's just not at the level of accuracy and speed of the others. I knew the DWX would just be the step child. Every one of the others just smoked it. 

     

    Thats funny I have the same pistols also. They are all good just at different levels. Variety is nice to have in the gun safe. Enjoy bro

    I’ll shoot him an email. I have them making me a custom A01-SD haha. Spent a little more than buying it from the market but I think it’ll be worth it. Thank you for your thoughts!

    Good choice. Your going to enjoy it. Stuart built my LD  last year.

    I vote "Attic." 

     

    RF 100 is finicky at best and the upside down primers are extremely frustrating no matter how rarely they happen. And they aren't that rare with my setup. Also, different primers feed differently because some are more uniform than the others and the "shiny sides" are more or less slick depending on brand. Worse, the recent batches of Winchester primers looked like they were manufactured by monkeys, with visible irregularities (they fire fine, though). 

     

    The DAA feeders, both the collator and the "shaking table" are only good as concepts. It's cheap plastic that will keep jamming and that's even more frustrating than dealing with the RF 100. My favorite is when the primers get stuck in the funnel and won't drop into the tube, whether correctly oriented or not. And I had them try to pass through sideways. Not usable. 

     

    Primers require either a fully professional setup that will have a working collator, or just pick them up manually in the tubes. The joy of *knowing* all primers are correctly oriented and *knowing* none of them are sideways, jammed or otherwise stuck is priceless. Shake a bit, flips the last few manually, pick them up quickly and be done. I have dozens of tubes so it's easy to devote some time to just primers and then not have to deal with them during reloading. 

     

    And no more "squished yellow bug on a windshield bits" in the primer feeding bar on 1050, which would happen with other "solutions." Manual in this case is both fast and satisfying. But, YMMV, as in everything else... 

     

     

    Thats funny I have a few tubes myself.  LOL

    The guy who makes the PAL filler is in Italy.  When I bought mine, I sent him an email and he wrote me back and I had it in a matter of weeks.  About a year later, I decided to buy a couple more, one for backup and one for a friend, and did it the same way with about the same delivery time.  That was probably 18 months ago.  Not sure what's up right now, but I'd try contacting Sarge or PAL directly (think his name is Umberto).  Another thing with the PAL is it runs on a small electric motor that you can get from amazon for a couple bucks.  So, works great, very easy to service, and likely to last a very long time if you just replace the little motor if/when it burns out.

    Good info thanks bro. Ive been kicking this around for years since I shoot 20K of 9mm a year. I always steered clear of these products because of all the bad reviews, but this one seems like a winner. Thanks !

  7. Scored one last week. I finally got to use my  extra mags that I bought in 2020 for the release. No complaints, pistol is great. Shooting my Blue bullets 115 grain at 1.100 COL. Pistol ran flawless right out of the box.

    I know this is an old thread but.....

    Has anyone used the decapper to feed the roll sizer?   

    So the brass would be deprimed then run through the roll sizer in one run through. 

     

    I am thinking about buying both.

    You dont want to do that. Brass should be cleaned before Rollsizing
