Nice video. As a fortunate individual, I own some of the best reloading equipment. But I also enjoy just watching the process and listening to the machines. A well tuned progressive reloading press sounds like music.
Great video I love your progression and the round count vs press analogy I opted for the Mark 7 650 PRO because I could not justify the cost of the 1050 with Autodrive (Canada) but am totally happy and load over 30k per year. Like you said not for all but sure beats pullin the handle!
Yes I do, if you look at how the 1050 primer feed works, when pressing the primer into the case it is very far away from the tube (it is a lot safer than the 650). Before I got the swag sensor I had a couple go off because the old primer was still in case and it didn't set off a chain reaction. I strongly recommend getting the swag sensor. I think there is always risk in reloading, you are dealing with things that go bang. Therefore you need to judge your tolerance for risk. In general, automating the process does introduce more risk to the process. I have now reloaded 75K or so with this setup with no major issues however I am always careful.
Thanks for the advice at the end. no one ever really said anything like that.. it helps a lot
Year 2021: This set up is a must

great video. thanks for showing us your reloading setup!
Your welcome
Now the endoscope idea is pretty sharp
Awesome video man!!! Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome
You mention a few issues, is there a lot of stopping and starting, or is it pretty smooth. other than the primers slowing you down?
I liked the video. Well made. Thank you.
Link to ebay, shell casing cam lever, please???
If you don't mind can you make a list of the extras part you got and where as well I know you said ebay but if you wouldn't mind adding a link
A family of competitive shooters justifies this type of machine!
What is your total cost for the setup?
10k
There is a point where your handloading becomes a ammo factory. Too many things could go wrong for my liking. Will stick with my RL550B thank you.
How do you know?
How much all in to automate this entire system?
How much was the whole setup
I would like to knw as well.
This is awesome no doubt. But isnt reloadings purpose to save money? Defeats purpose if it takes 89 years to break even. Just my opinion
Do you have a website ? I would like to enhance my stock pile , lol (seriously)
Very nice set up. But is that reloading or manufacturing? 😁
Reloading, I shoot USPSA and IDPA (competition) so between practice and matches I shot about 50K rounds last year.
Haha thats what i was thinking... haha i use a lee hand press.. haha
You feel safe with 200 primers in a tube?
It would scare the shit out of me

How is this setup working out in the long run? Would like to see a new video on the setup if you are still running it.
Are you using carbide dies? If so are you lubing the cases? I am having problems with my auto drive popping and jumping using carbide dies no lube.
