Super 1050 for case prep
Quote from Reloader on January 31, 2009, 3:54 amI have a friend who lost one arm to cancer but is interested in loading. it is cumbersome for him to stand the bullet up on the case, then grab the handle for each cycle. Does Dillon make an automatic bullet feeder for 223 rem bullets?
Also, I have access to LOTs of 5.56 military cases (178,000) and am wondering if the Dillon has the ability to be used for a high volume case preparation machine (deprime, size, primer pocket swedge, trim)?

Quote from Reloader on February 2, 2009, 9:45 pmSo far as I have been able to find there are two bullet feeder options for the 1050 (none from Dillon) The first one to old KISS bullet feeder is not available at this time. It is my understanding the two partners had problems and split up, causing legal problems. A new company has been formed and they expect to start selling again shortly (according to an email last month, but no date) The device will be around $550 and should feed .223 bullets. You can contact them at http://mrbulletfeeder.com/ The second company is at http://www.gsiinternational.com/rl1050.htm I do not believe they have a feeder for 223 bullets. They are also more expensive. You might also want to look at this company which makes an electric motor ($850) to cycly the 1050 machine at either 900 or 1200 times per hour. Just keep the hoppers filled. http://www.reloaders.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=899
178k in cases is way too much for one person to have :-) Let me know if you want to part with some of that unprocessed brass, so I can process on my 1050. The 1050 should do a reasonable job of sizing, depriming, swagging and trimming etc. cleaning, lubing, then processing and tumbling to take the lube off will take some time. Hope this helps.

Quote from Reloader on February 17, 2012, 4:21 pmJust be aware that installation of any auto-drive, or mechanization of the machine handle operation will void the one-year warranty. The Super 1050 lacks the automated failsafe detection devices that fully automated machines incorporate.
For simply processing brass, the Super 1050 is ideal. I would expect a rate of over 1200 cases per hour easily.
