benos Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I got this question I couldn't answer from a customer: If I order a 1050 and don't need to swage am I able to shift over the other stations so I can use the powder check and then install a Mr Bullet Feeder? Thanks! be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Egan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) I Doubt it - swage is in number 2 station, powder check has to come after the powder drop. So - no. The Mr. Bullet Feeder is far more useful than the powder check. Takes a quick look to see if you have powder in the case before cycling the handle. Re-read the question a bit more indepth. Priming is done in station 3 - and it cant be moved to 2. Powder is dumped in 4 and doubtful that you could move it anywhere. Powder check or bullet feeder goes in 5. 6 is seating, 7 is crimping. Dillon might number them another way. Edited May 24, 2010 by Tim Egan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck223 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm going to look like a fool if I'm wrong, but I believe it can be done, but it requires the bullet feeder to be installed in station 7, and a combined seat and crimp in station 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but, Station 1 is case feeding Station 2 is sizing Station 3 is swaging Station 4 is priming Station 5 is powder Station 6 is normally blank or powder check Station 7 is bullet seat Station 8 is crimp Now if the guy wants to keep the powder check, it might be possible, is the compromise of seating and crimping isn't a deal breaker. I don't know for certain if the bullet feeder column will clear the case feeder in that position. Also, as the Mr.BulletFeeder relys on the back up plug to open the case mouth, the regular powder feeder activator will have to be swapped for one from a 650.

AlamoShooter Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Or size and prime all the brass and thin put the power and check wherever you want Edited May 24, 2010 by AlamoShooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsnowbum Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'll confess, I was the one that asked Brian and he posted my question here. I'm looking at buying the 1050. I hadn't taken the time to look at how the 1050 works and wasn't sure if the swaging step was removed if the priming and powder charge could be moved over leaving an open spot for a bullet feeder or if they were fixed to the stations they are currently in. Thanks for the replies! And yes I'll give up powder check to gain bullet feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never found a pistol powder combination that didn't feed through the Dillon powder measure well, so I've never bothered with the powder checker.

Back in the day when I was sponsored by Dillon, I never even took the Powder Check System out of the bag it came in. With pistol, look right at the case as you set the bullet on. For most calibers/powder charges, a double or no-charge is very easy to see. And you'll load faster (like you'll shoot faster) by properly training your eyes on when to look where. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
