Dillion introduces the RL1100 and will discontinue the RL1050

I’m seriously thinking about selling my xl 650 and going to the mark 7....10 station over a 5 on the 650....and 10 over 7 on the super 1050...I don’t reload a lot but I like the idea of setting up the press for one calibre ...everything on it and just go .....the 650...1050....change this do this....change that and do this
Come on tax return!!!

If you don't reload a lot why would it matter on the switch over
 
This is my opinion......just change tool heads and go .....with my 650 example for 223....doing case processing one tool head to deprime...size ...trim...or deprime trimm ...then change up to load ....and same for 308........then gotta swage all the primer pockets....kinda working twice.....I know no big deal but ...you know
Mark 7....do all in one pass ...and if one wants ...auto driver ..bullet feeder ....
If you got or have a big pile of brass .....you can spend a lot of time to processes it and load ..... mark 7....cut the time right down
Just my thoughts .....as I have had like a big pile of brass and took me a month to do it all ...in separate stages...

It is an interesting concept if you are making "plinking" ammunition. If you are trying to achieve a higher level of accuracy, no I don't mean bench rest, I mean practically accurate ammunition. Then I don't know if this is the way to go.

All of the commercial equipment breaks it down into steps. For me, I process the .223 and trim on a separate machine and am still getting +/-0.002". Even guys who are running "commercially" on 1050's split up processing itself into two passes as the more things you try and do at one time, the more deflection, and torque that you apply across the tool head. For .223 then de-prime and swage on the first pass, and may bump the shoulder back a bit. Then on the second pass, they trim and set final headspace.

If you try and do all of this in one pass, it can change your swage depth, headspace, trim length just for processing, Then add in loading on the same pass and you start having variance on primer seating depth, bullet seating depth and crimp.

The MK-7 Revolution may be completely immune to these problems, I don't know, I have never used one.
 
Anybody got an 1100 in action yet?

I'm presently using a Hornady LNL with bullet and case feeder to load 45ACP. It works alright but it seems every 500 rounds or so I have to stop and tinker with something. I want something a little more foolproof and was looking at the 1050 but now I see the 1100 is starting to come available.

Anybody want to comment on the differences between the 1050 and 1100?
 
There have been a few brought into Canada. I have some business associates who where the test mules for Dillon. Say the machine is a reasonable upgrade..They stand up to autodrive and commercial usage better then the Super 1050. For the average consumer the only benefit is slightly smoother indexing and a bit easier to grease when is probably once a year for a consumer user.
 
If you are on the fence about buying an 1100 and you shoot a large volume. I would buy one. By the spring 9mm ammunition will not really be available in Canada for a reasonable price. Reloading will be significantly more financially attractive by then. My commercial contacts in the USA are selling 9mm remanufactured ammunition for $500USD + per 1,000 and have a one month plus backorder. Even on my end, I am 6 - 8 week backorder on brass as commercial loaders are coming on line across Canada.
