Nemesis Lead Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just wondering what kind of experiences folks have had with a casepro 100. I just placed an order for one and wanted to see what folks thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy1629 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Ordered mine back in November of last year, if I ever get it I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) I think I remember mine taking about 9 months... make sure to order all the dies you think you will ever use, or expect to wait another 9 months... worth the wait thou!

blueeyedme Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I recently set mine up with a PW autodrive and love it. Be sure to let Mike know if you are going to motorize it as there are a couple of different parts you will need and the dies get a little different treatment so the casings will drop in more consistently. BTW, there is no waiting on extra parts or dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLoad Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Used a Redding pass through die for a year and should have ordered the casepro from the beginning. Saves so much time that I would have spent twice as much and would have been happy . Now if I could only find a way to sort my brass for cheap .

jmorris Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I put an automated one together a number of years ago. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98302&hl=%2Bcasepro#entry1124010 I am working on a push through sizer right now (not #1 on the list though) will post videos when I get it done. Should do the same thing as the Magma casemaster but sost $5000 less. Edited September 12, 2014 by jmorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I've had one for about 7 years and wouldn't be without it. You won't be sorry, except for the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Lead Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Does the Dillon casefeeder come with the Case Pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Call them and ask. I picked up my casepro used and it came as a complete package. Edited September 18, 2014 by yoshidaex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDA Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Does the Dillon casefeeder come with the Case Pro? I think what you mean to ask is does the Case Pro come with a Dillon casefeeder. If a Case Pro came with a Dillon casefeeder, I'd go order a Dillon casefeeder this second... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsnowbum Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 AFAIK, No, the CasePro 100 does not come with a Dillon casefeeder. If you plan on using a casefeeder (I can't imagine trying to use one without), you need to purchase either the half or full mount kit with your machine. They are selling the auto drive directly now and will setup your machine at the time of purchase for use with the auto drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Lead Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Uh-oh. Now I am confused. I did buy the half mount, so it should come with a casefeeder then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsnowbum Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 No, you'll need to purchase a casefeeder from Brian or from Dillon. The half mount just gives you everything you need to make the Casepro work with the casefeeder. You'll have to make your own mounting plate or mount everything directly to your bench.

HI5-O Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I saw this thread and went to their website and was pleasantly surprised at the updated site. So I just placed an order for 9mm die set and some small spare parts. Won't load for my open gun without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Love mine. Very long lead time after ordering though. I had forgotten about the order I put in 7 or 8 months before when the owner called me out of the blue at the end of the year to say it and the dies were done and did I still want it. Made for a very nice Christmas present ;^D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) How much less effort is it to push cases run through the casepro, through the regular case sizeing dies afterwords, than if not run through the casepro? thinking non lubed here Edited October 24, 2014 by ano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The casepro really only sizes the part of the case that your sizing die cannot. I can't tell any difference but I also lube all the cases I load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The CasePro appears to be a wonderful machine to resize the OD to permit passing gauging and therefore chambering. Is anyone concerned that case wall thickness has been reduced in the bulged area? The bulge can be rolled out, but it would seem that the wall thickness will remain thinner as the ID is not supported (as if on a mandrel). My primary concern is ensuring that the case does net crack/separate when fired and that thin wall area will still be the weak link. Thoughts?

jmorris Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I have fired around a bazillion pistol rounds in my life and have never had a case head separation. Have had them in rifle rounds though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hvsmith Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Which Dillon casefeeder do you need, a 550, 650, 1050 or doesn't it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It looks like the 1050 model because it uses square tubing whereas the rest use round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 the casefeeder is the same on all models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Yep, the plastic collator will accept 1" round or square tubing. When I automated my first casepro I used box tubing. Being a cheap ass, it is easier to swap the same collator from machine to machine if the post is square, you don't even need to tighten the screw to keep it from rotating.
