Mk 7 11” High Speed Case Feeder, reviews wanted

[quiller]

I searched but could not find any posts. If some are available please point me too them.  I’m looking for reviews on Mk7 11” High Speed Case Feeder (https://www.markvii-loading.com/accessories/case-feeders/11-high-speed-case-feeder-for-apex-10-and-evolution.html).

 

I have an Evo (first gen, really old) with the standard case feeder and it works great with a few hand full of brass. I have the 3D printed fix and that helps. If I put more that a few hand fulls it either starts jamming (clutch slips, yup, I adjusted it) or I get brass under the case plate. The latter happens less with the 3D fix and now that I have a C clamp on it not at all. However, at a hand full at a time it’s a bit of a pain. I don’t load a lot, but I like stuff to work. So, what’s your opinion on the 11” high speed? Thanks all and happy Memorial Day Weekend.

That’s what came on my Apex10 and so far it has worked fine and has some nice features. 

Wish I could say the same about the primer system. It sucks.

I like the reverse and adjustable speed options. I hand crank my Evo so setting the case feed speed suit my arm will be nice.

 

Good luck with the primer system and thanks for posting.

I’ll follow up to my own post. To say I’m happy with the high speed case feeder is an understatement. I ran a bunch of processed brass (de capped and tumbled) through it to roll size and I had to hit the reverse button twice, both times the issue (whatever it was) was addressed. I like it so much I sold the original (Hornady) which came with my Evo and moved to the 750 processing press on flee bay and I buying a second high speed.

Is it quieter than the crappy Hornady one?

You can still hear the bass moving around and if you are running it fast you can hear the motor but it’s no worse than the crappy one. The joy of not stopping every 5th round is still worth it!

I have the same case feeder.  I like it much better than the Dillons which I have 4 of.  My Mark 7 was jamming, but found out it was one of the screws holding on the clear view port on the back, it protruded about 1/8 inch into the case feeder and the brass was jamming against it.  Trimmed it down and after that no more jams at all

@quiller I'll chime in and say I've been using the Apex 10 that comes with the 11" high speed feeder, for just under a year.  Once I fine tuned the case drop port, the funnel sensor, and installed the DAA Turbo Case Feeder Plate, it has not missed a beat loading 9mm.  Regardless of the feed speed I select.

 

The DAA plate made a huge improvement in the overall operation and feeding.
