steel1212 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Are you guys able go from fired brass to finished round on a 1050? I.E. can you have the dillon trimmer and all that in one tool head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Taliani Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I don't think anyone has pulled this off. The norm is to have two seperate tool heads. The RT1200 is too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Taliani Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Yeah, it would be awesome if it could be pulled off. If you don't have a 1050 yet and are on the fence, it is still an excellent press even without this capability. Originally bought it primarily for rifle and ended up getting so spoiled that I do virtually all of my pistol loading on it now too. It's extremely smooth and priming on the downstroke is AMAZING!

Yeah I'm thinking about getting it for rifle as I have 3 550s now. I figure I'll crank out a couple thousand rifle rounds on it then switch it over to the pistol caliber for the rest of the year and sell one of my 550s.

Jonathan Taliani Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 That sounds like a great plan. That's more or less the same thing I do but with a 1050/650 combo. It's still nice having a non-1050 for quick easy change-overs of less frequently shot calibers. For creating large quantities of high quality ammo, though, the 1050 rocks!

Loop51 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Just use one of the 550's as your "brass prep" setup and then have the 1050 for loading. That way, you dont have to change over tool heads on the 1050. Not exactly what you wanted but I don't see how you can do it all in one tool head, regardless of the press. Oh and once you get that setup, let me come over and use your 1050 to load my .223 LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
