PistolJim Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I read the FAQ's. Im considering a Super 1050B. I read about some problems with it and just wonder if Dillons got it straightened out?? I have a 550B and I load about 15,000 to 20,000 rounds in a good year. I plan on shooting more this year and not spending so much time on the machine.

Chutist Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I don't have the "Super" but.... I have a 550 that I loaded over 100k rounds on then went to a 1050. DO NOT WAIT - The 1050 is one of the best things I ever bought. It's wonderful to be able to have the car loaded to go to the range...realize you don't have ammo...15 minutes later off to the range with 300 rounds. I will RUIN you for any other press.

What he said, don't try a 1050 unless you are ready to buy a 1050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolJim Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 My brothers got a 650 and I recently got a chance to load on a friends 1050 (about 200 rounds) and Im hooked. But I've read the Super 1050 may have problems?? Anyone ever load on one? I thought I read that Dillon cleared up alot of problems. Anyone get a recent example?

Rob Bagnato Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I am running two Super 1050's there were a couple of updates no problems since. Loading 38 super & .40 anything you buy today should have the updates. The only diffrence between Super 1050 and RL 1050 is the stroke length. If you're going to load rifle Super 1050 is said to be better. If you could find a used RL 1050 that would be slightly better for pistol applications.

benos Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 PistolJim, Yes, I'm not aware of any known "problems" with the super 1050b? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolJim Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 Thanks I guess I was just reading some of the FAQs. I guess early models had problems. Thats all cleared up. Openshooter, I noticed you said you had 2 Super 1050's to load .38 and .40. How difficult is it to convert the machine from .38 Supercomp to .40 ? From what I've read it should be able to be done in 30 minutes or less. Is that correct? Thanks Again, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 If you've got another toolhead, the conversion should be 15 minutes or less once you get good at it. Without another toolhead, you have to reset all your dies. Keeping the same primers helps a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
