hitman_usmc Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Put it in place of the hold down die on the swage station. Screw the die in and adjust to desired expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Ok, after processing about 500 rounds on my 1100, I don’t think I can hold out until winter to order an autodrive pro. Can anyone confirm if it comes with a low primer sensor or is it extra? I know they sell one for $30, but I thought I read somewhere that it already had one included. I figure if I’m going to use 3 passes to load 9mm, I think I can skip any sensors to start with to minimize costs. But I would like it to stop on its own when the primers are low. I do plan to get the $30 remote stop button and plan to stay and monitor the press while it’s running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddc Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 3 passes? I know a lot use two passes especially if automated. How will your three passes be set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I meant 2 passes, but on the first “processing” pass there would be a total of 3 decapping dies installed in Stations 2, 6, and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, the plate, works pretty good separating the 380 from 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks, so I guess the way around it would be to tell the press to stop after 100 rounds, which would be annoying. The low primer sensor is only $30 so that one, and the remote stop button are reasonably priced. with 2 pass processing for pistol ammo, and virtually 100% decapping during the first pass, I think those are the only options I will need to get started.

Using an Ammobot instead of a Mk7 but I have no sensors other than the low primer sensor. (The Ammobot came with the low primer sensor and the remote stop button.) I've got mine set up on the left end of a bench. That way I can stand at about 10 o'clock and easily see into a 9mm case to verify powder and to observe bullet issues. The primary stoppage I have is a bullet occasionally falling off either at 6 or 7 or on the way from 6 to 7. The remote stop button is in my hand all the time. So you can get by without any other sensors but you've got to be standing right there with the button in your hand. You are the "super sensor", lol. It seems you could set up a Mk7 in a similar fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
