@Grandmastah Apologies, poor choice of words. I give it one full "press" and then toss/flip them around in the plastic container with the lid on. It does say that it "will not contaminate powder or primers."
LOL. Ok that is the right stuff. I thought maybe you were using something like this:

a full pump of One Shot, lid on and shake’em all up.
I have not seen one shot case lube in a pump bottle. It is usually in an aerosol can. Are you using Hornady One Shot Case Lube, or one of Hornady's other One Shot branded cleaners/lubes? I use the one shot case lube in a similar fashion as you, and I have seen a lot of people using it the same way as well.

If you have a 3d printer, or know someone that does, you can find the files to build one. Here is a vid of one in action:

Interested in seeing some pics and hearing some reviews when you guys start getting yours.

Dillon stock tool head can be upgraded to have 1 additional station too with On Point MFG upgraded toolhead for like $215 You can't go wrong with either commercial press to be honest~ COVID-19 has affected many businesses alike and Dillon, M7 are no exceptions. You'll be happy with the RL1100 Or M7 Evo
Does their tool head include a shell plate and indexing modification to support an additional station? I have been leaning towards getting the Mark 7 because I want powder check, bullet drop and separate seat and crimp. If the Dillon supported this it would be a pretty easy decision. -

HK is not offering factory SBRs. All of us (on the team) SBR'd ours.
Nice. I thought maybe you guys were showcasing a new offering from HK. They look like fun.

Is HK offering a SBR SP5 or were these conversions?

You would probably need to process your brass first to free up a station, but the RCBS lock out die will stop you from advancing if your powder charge is +/- .3 gr of what you adjusted it for. I have never tested its claimed accuracy, but it will definitely detect a no charge or double charge of a target 3 gr.

A few more pics.
Is the aluminum end on the spring going into the case feeder held in with a set screw or just friction?

I have had great luck with the Chips. Couple buddies love their Tripp Research (arguably the best in their opinion).

Have you seen the video on this thread? https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/285018-red-lnl-ap-vs-blue-xl750/
Here is my $.02.
Short Version: I have the Hornady LNL. I have never used a Dillon. If I was going to stick to a strict $600 or less budget I would get the LNL every time. If I was willing to spend a little more I might would consider the 750.
Long Version to support the short above. You might only be shooting 600 rounds a month now and you might be ok with basic and simple to start with. But, you have already said if you end up $1500 into it eventually then so be it. I assume this means you want the flexibility for the system to grow. I think you need a bare minimum of at least 5 stations on the press to grow without giving up too much. I think the LNL and the 750 are the same class of machine, but you can get the LNL for cheaper than the 550. The 550 only has 4 stations as well, so really it would be between the LNL and the 750 for me.
When I first setup my LNL, I manually fed cases and bullets and visually checked powder. I have since added a case feeder, powder check die, and I 3d printed a bullet feeder. With 5 stations I have 1 de-cap and size, 2 prime, expand/bell and powder, 3 powder check, 4 bullet drop, 5 seat and crimp. This allows me to load at a pretty good pace safely. Once I got the timing and indexing dialed in, it has been solid. If you have spent some time on the forums, all presses are going to take some time to dial in...even the $3K Mark 7. To switch over to load another caliber is about as fast and easy as it gets. The LNL has been a solid press for me.
But, I cannot deny the following Dillon has. Dillon is the defacto standard. The after market for Dillon is much better. The user base is much bigger. If I were in the market again, and was willing to spend a little more, I would give the 750 a serious consideration, but I could not tell you that is because I think the 750 is that much better or because I just want to taste the Dillon kool aid!

I have the Blackdog ones from TandemKross. The holster fits the Mark IV Lite with Holosun 507C and the Gamechanger pro comp great. I did put the tandemkross *thumb rest [generic]* (thumb rest) on my son's Mark IV so I did have to mod the holster to accommodate that.

misty has the primer up for preorder but not the trimmer yet
Is the new primer system up on their website? I tried to find it on the site but did not see it.

Southern shine media is the company that sells the SS chips on Facebook. I just bought some and have used them once so far on some 6.5 creedmore brass. I am really happy with the results. I was using the pins that came with the franklin armory tumbler. With the 6.5 brass I had issues with some pins getting lodged in the neck. Some of the pins I guess are a little shorter and somehow get wedged into the primer pocket. With chips I did not have any issues, and I think they may have even cleaned a little better.

Thanks for the info, @Grandmastah!
I'm just thinking of a scenario where, you don't have access to labradar's sd card anymore, but your phone had connected to it before and have shots information. How would I transfer the shots info without typing it manually.
I am using Android so the iphone app may be different, but I did make sure my app was up to date and there is not an export function. However the app does show you more than just the velocity. It will show you the min, max, average, SD and ES for the series. It will show you the averages at the 5 distances you set up in the labradar, eg V10, V20, V30, V40, V50. When you created the series, if you had set your bullet weight, the app will also show you the energy and the PF. But if you were doing load dev, and you shot a series with incremental powder charges and you wanted to graph it and you did not have access the SD card then you would have to type in each value manually from the app.
I know the data from the Labradar is accessible from either the SD or USB. If you had a micro usb to whatever your phone uses cable, you might be able to pull the csv's off the labradar and have them there on your phone. The files are pretty small so it could probably be done pretty quickly at the range while you are letting your barrel cool down or packing up other stuff.

There is not an export function from the app that I know of. I am looking at the app right now but there is not an option to export. The SD card in the labradar does have a folder for each series you created. Inside that folder there is a report csv that list a summary for the series. These is also another folder within the series folder called TRK and in that folder is a csv for each individual shot.

Hello all. I have lurked here for a while. I have always enjoyed the discussions here, so I thought it was time to register and say hello. I live in the Austin TX area, and if it has a trigger I like to pull it. Shot long range until our range got shut down. Now shooting more pistol and PCC and started shooting some steel challenge until the shutdown. Been reloading for quite sometime now as well. At any rate just wanted to pop in say Hi! Look forward to contributing when I can.
