davidjon_99 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I was watching a video by Mark 7 that gives an overview of their autodrive. I was impressed to see a feature called bottom slowdown. The guy in the video said it was designed for when you are trimming brass. I can see that this would be very useful when converting 223 into 300 blk. Well, I just set up a Mark 7 1050 Pro on my Dillon RL1100. I upgraded the software and the firmware and I don't see this feature. Is this just on the autodrive used with the Mark 7 presses? I sent a message to Mark 7, but it was after they closed. Just thought I'd drop this same question here. Thanks! Here's the video and it is mentioned around the 3:10 minute mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 yes you do. Its always been on the tablets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjon_99 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Just got a reply from Mark 7. They said bottom slowdown is only available for drives for Mark 7 presses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 You clearly misled somebody. The tablet doesn't run the press it runs the drive. The drive runs the press.. The tablet is identical no matter what press is attached to the drive. Ive run a 1050 Pro drive for years on a 1050. I run index slowdown slow so as not to shake powder out of major loaded cases. What planet is this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 index slowdown is not bottom slowdown. Look at the video. There is a different slider for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. I was asking about bottom slowdown. That is different than index speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Jason at Mark 7 the software in the tablet for Mark 7 press autodrive is different than the software for the dillon press autodrive. He said they had talked about adding bottom slowdown to the dillon autodrive software. But that had been voted down for one reason for another. His words. I'm a bit miffed with Mark 7 for not having that feature for Dillon presses. I don't see any reason for excluding it. I sure hope you pay more attention when you're loading than you do when replying to questions. Facts matter. Watch the video. There's facts there that are important to my question. I live on earth, where do you live? Edited October 27, 2022 by davidjon_99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 They don’t include it because they want you to buy their press. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the reason. Seems a bit petty, though, since you're shelling out $2k+ for their drive system. I don't think any of their competitors offer it either though.

SSGJohnV Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I would like to clarify this as I think some miscommunication (internally and externally) has occurred. While Bottom Slowdown is not currently available on 1050 auto drives, we are planning a software update for that in the near future, and have been planning it for some time. Can't provide specifics, but it will be a free download from our website. It will also include some other features that I can't go in to here. Hope that helps!
