teros135 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Is there anybody on this forum (BE), where one can ask questions and have a dialogue? I'm considering a new press myself (to replace my 650) and would like to know what our BE brethrens' experiences have been.

We are too busy unloading and loading with our shiny evolutions and revolutions... Sold Super 1050 for Evolution.. zero regrets, loading right after setup manually then added Conversion for my auto drive and now just basking in a pile of ammo. Do it again? Yes.. sell Super 1050 in March 2018, no next time I would wait longer, but take a larger loss on the Super 1050. Dillon is going to have to compete by including all the aftermarket fixes that have sprung up. It's almost hilarious how much better the evolution is compared to a super 1050 for $200 bucks extra.

ringram Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Well it's early days for this new platform. But I'm keen to open up the tips and tricks for it to a wider audience. On that basis I've created a face book group as well. Just waiting for confirmation from Mark 7 to get my press :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringram Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Can someone tell me how many primer tubes come with the Evo+Auto? Or even just the Evo? Just wondering how many more to order. I have an RF-100 as well. Any suggestions/tips ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 If you have an RF 100 you dont really need primer tubes. The top of the low primer sensor is notched for the rf 100. Just remember to push down on the top of the tube or you will spray primers all over the place like i did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if one rollsizes, it undoes some of the rollsizing benefits by pushing a bulge down. Now, I am also loading .40 so your mileage might differ. I use a undersize die and dont roll size .40. I have maybe 1-2 out of 100 that go into the practice bin. They work fine but dont gauge as cleanly as I would like. I agree that roll sizing is the best option if you can afford to do it.

LowBoost Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I think that's OK for a pistol load. I know there will be a few that will not be satisfied, especially those coming from "The Blue Press" where they may have had more consistent results.

RGA Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 @Tanks, I agree. @Smithcity, I only load .223 on my Evo but wanted to test the powder measure as well with a pistol load. I use my Dillon 650 for loading 9mmP (with mixed headstamp brass). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBoost Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 RGA: So what are your thoughts about the results for rifle loading? For pistol, it is perfectly fine, for rifle blasting ammo, it is also OK, but for a precision rifle, I would not be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm37 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) To anyone interested in an Evolution Press. DAA might have one available at the old price? Plus it would probably ship this week. I had bad news from my Oncologist on 11/1/2018. So I cancelled my DAA Evolution 10mm order this morning. The difference in 10Mm and 40 S&W is large primer instead of a 40 S&W small primer. Also canceled my case roller order. Edited November 5, 2018 by Norm37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
