Face5535 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Finally going to jump into a auto drive. I don’t think I want to send my machine off to have a fortch drive added, so I guess it will come down to a Mark 7 or AmmoBot. There is a 20% off sale that AmmoBot has going so, $1200 or so for the Bot seems to be a heck of a deal. Is there any other drive worth considering? What are you veterans opinions on automation? Looking forward to your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face5535 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Yeah, I think the ammobot looks great, and given the sale I think its pretty much a easy choice. Just wanted to ask what thoughts were here and to ensure its running reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2plus25 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I have a Mark VII on mine and absolutely love it. Best addition besides the Bullet feeder that I’ve done to the press. I like the different sensors and the ability to control everything from the tablet. I have no experience with any other autodrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice setup I went on eBay and pretty much found everything to do this for under $20 couple simple switches and inexpensive counter low-voltage transformer.

warpspeed Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I'm in the same boat and will go with the Ammobot through Imortoarms. The sale is very tempting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face5535 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think I’m going ammobot!!! The $1500 extra cost doesn’t seem like it’s worth it to get the mk7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxman2809 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) I will now have both. Looking at the AB as more of a processing tool, but we'll see. Feel free to ask any questions. The sale is putting it at a great price. Edited September 4, 2019 by Laxman2809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srrch Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I've been running an Ammbot several years. I started with the Rev 2 but I have the Rev 3 now. I'm extremely happy with my decision to buy the Ammobot. The Ammobot is the best deal on the market. It is a high quality product and it works as advertised; no exceptions. Customer service and support is top notch. I'd jump on that 20% asap. Also get the primer pocket probe. You won't regret your purchase.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume so! I really saw no reason to look R the 1100 vs 1050’s. Im sure they will be nice but no need for me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman195 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 had a Mark7, for my 650 and then 1050, ended up selling both to run them by hand. If I had to try it again i would go AB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to try it again i would go AB. I have heard others with a similar story M7 to AB. I have also talked with a few commercial loading guys that also said AB. Why I went AB. I placed an order for 2 AB before their sale. 4 days later they do the sale and AB contacts me to say its now on sale and refunded me the full 20% on both without me asking for it. Wow. Still waiting for them to ship but counting it down. Edited September 11, 2019 by helocat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
