The future of Reloading - Mark 7® Revolution®
- Thread starter GreenBob
- Start date
Jay is a smart smart fellow. Great machines but out of my price range. Hung out with him a few years ago, haven't talked to him recently. I can tell you this, he does things right, the first time. His stuff doesn't get released unless it's perfect.
How long has Mark 7 been around and what sort of market penetration do they have?
We don't see a lot of "Mark 7 hands down", "Mark 7 or go home", or "Mark 7: buy once cry once" comments in the forum here, so I am guessing that they must be relatively new.
Do have to admit that those a beautiful looking and sounding machines.

1 year warranty.
I been following Mark 7 progress since early 2015.
The real test in my opinion will be the longevity of the press and the parts and not the actual warranty.
When you can make 42,000 rounds in 12 hours I would think the wear and tear would be my first concern.
A cool thought... 1,260,000 million rounds in 30 days.
Cheers,

To date Mark 7 has made their money on autodrives. These new units will sell but they're likely priced too high for the majority of shooters which means Dillon should continue to enjoy the lion's share of the market.
Remember, these units really aren't being marketed towards the average joe, they're for serious shooters and commercial reloaders.

I have a first generation MK7 Pro on a 1050. It is a fairly good drive system. I am very hesitant to be an early adopter of any new presses and equipment. I have gotten bitten trying to be on the "leading edge" a couple of times. My Forcht 1050 auto-drive sees 4 times the use of my MK7 and will be replaced with another Forcht when I kill it. If the Mk7 Pro died, I would replace it with another Forcht 1050. $1000 USD less, and doesn't crash.
Camdex equipment is a workhorse and just always kind of seem to work. It is easy to maintain, train employees on and repair if broken. That is why I have built my business around that brand. They are the only one who really makes brass processors (currently) and is considered the industry standard for brass processing.

I have one of those Camdex (Syntron) primer fillers, over a million primers collated, and I did not see any upside down. Now mine is mounted on a Camdex 2100 Series Pistol Loader, so no filling tubes even.
Reloading is not always about saving money...

^^^^ Exactly I actually like the process of trying different loads to see if I can make some improvements

One of my very close future projects is to design and build something like this. I've always loved watching these things go!
