Mine has already been to M7 and is on its way back, should be waiting for me once I get back from the Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides finding another nut to lock (3/8-24) the adjustment in place, it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) My measure randomly decides to do this fast fill thing, where it only rotates to the fill position for a split second. It has also refused to throw powder a a few dozen times too. Looks like the new measure body doesn't have that shear shelf the first ones did.

It sits between the body and the rotor and prevents 9mm casings from ruining the party by sneaking in sideways. Still a work in progress. Version 1 turned out to be dud, it _almost_ worked. Version 2 shows more promise . It's a hodgepodge of angles and fillets but much cleaner than v1. I will release the STL once it has been tested enough. (It is overbuilt because I want it to print without ANY supports) Interested as well. Also, any recommendations for a starter printer that can handle stuff about like that?

That being said you have to have the following done for it to work without jams: Have the machine index perfectly. Have a sizing die above the priming station to keep the brass centered. Do not have debris etc. in the primer pockets. That was what was causing most of my jams, pre-processing brass cleared that problem along with setting up swaging. I think if swaging is set up right most likely you won't have jams as hopefully it will clear the debris. Throw away all S&B brass. I use the RCBS ultrasonic case cleaner solution. It cleans primer pockets nicely. They took down my plum trees when they widened the street in front of my house. No more prunes, so I took the food hydrator to dry my brass. This is the one I have. Three trays for brass. https://www.etsy.com/listing/588826132/american-harvest-snack-master-dehydrator?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_b-home_and_living-kitchen_and_dining-small_kitchen_appliances&utm_custom1=a4816f8c-169c-4848-bed0-3ae25d5bec58&utm_content=go_270949115_41113171166_194315731600_aud-318110574626:pla-303335181093_c__588826132&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIypXtoe6d3gIVg-NkCh03WADtEAYYCCABEgK59PD_BwE Edited October 24, 2018 by Norm37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanks Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I wet tumble in a cement mixer and do not deprime. Also, probably have about 40K of brass already cleaned but not processed yet, I roll sized and processed 20K while waiting for my powder dispenser upgrade, so after Area 2 I will load those and then go through and process the rest of the brass.

Then no way is my method going to work for that much brass. Also that much brass would overwhelm the food processor. Maybe I should buy a couple 55 gallon drums of brass just so I can keep up with you. Just joking Edited October 24, 2018 by Norm37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armedmoose Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 My Evolution Pro is alive... Finally had some time to run some ammo this evening... Nice and slow.

nitrohuck Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 suddenly I am feeling like I don't really *need* both of my kidneys anymore... people run fine just on one right? That setup looks amazing. I just upgraded to a 1050 so I'll probably be running that until I die... Do they 3D print fully functional kidneys yet? asking for a friend.

If so you could put the motor in neutral and run manually until everything is set up and working perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has a hex end on the left side of the press where you can manually operate the press with a wrench/ratchet if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my 650 with the mr bullet feeder expander, the case expansion is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a left side that you can attach a handle or socket wrench too to manually drive the Evo Pro - once the Mark 7 Autodrive is in netrual or stopped. 10 hours ago, Smithcity said: Looks great!

I drive excessive flare as that it keeps the bullet in place and doesn't scrape the polymer coating when fired or pulled. I could dial it back a bit, but then I deal with bullet toppeling and scraping issues. It also could be that I use a Lee Undersize die and the bit more of flare/expansion is needed as my cases are a bit undersized as well.

The tablet, on the setup screen, allows you to move the tool head to the bottom, then you can jog up and down or single cycle. Basically, anything you could do manually you can do from the tablet.

quiller Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 All, got the following from DAA on my Evolution order this am. Guess I'll have to settle on a set up space this week! Quote Yes, Mark 7 called yesterday to arrange shipment for 8 units. They need to get the weight and dimensions of the pallet load to me, so I can get them to our shipper. They won’t leave Mark 7 today, but I do expect them to leave early next week. Hopefully we can be shipping to you by next Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
