Reloading Setup: S1050 or RL1100

The 1100 is a better design than the Super, so I'd go with that.  Actually, an older RL1050 would be my first choice if you can find one.  As for add-ons, a bullet feeder and LED lighting are the top choices.  Also a quick release for the powder measure.  Case Pro or Rollsizer are probably not necessary if you have a custom gun/barrel.  As for autodrive, I have three 1050s and prefer to run them manually.  To me, it's not worth the time, trouble and expense to automate.  But some people like it.

 

If I could ask, what is this Quick Release you speak of in this post?  I am curious and have never ran across one when researching reloading equipment.

It’s this one:

it’s spring loaded and just pull the tab towards you to disengage and remove the powder measure without fiddling or removing the screws.

Oh nice. No issue using it, as it holds it secure enough?

None at all. You can also buy the 3D- printed ones. Cheaper and works just as good. 
 

A friend has a 3D printer and printed me a couple of these for my 1100 and 550.
