Dillon Super 1050 with Mark 7 Auto Drive

Seen it set up at Area 6 earlier this year. Incredible system. Complete automation with safety features. I would have bought it on the spot if I had the funds to do so.

I setup a PLCto operate one of mine a few years ago, it also checks for powder charge and will stop if it is high or low.

This is how it works.

There is a "dwell" inherent with a "locomotive" style drive because the connecting rod speed slows, stops and then speeds up at each end of the stroke.

Never had a problem with powder having enough time to fall, Camdex and Ammo load machines run much faster than 1800 rounds without adding a bunch of time at BDC.

Even loading .223 manually I can run in the 2000 rounds per minute, dropping 25 grains of powder without issues.

Looks pretty good though, like the "bells and whistles".

Mr Morris, you sure your this fast. WOW "Even loading .223 manually I can run in the 2000 rounds per minute" I may have you use my BS card there.

Ha, at first I thought "wait what" then I reread jmorris' post. Indeed that is really, really fast.
