WARP SPEED! Loading 9mm on the Dillon RL 1100 with Mr. Bullet Feeder

[@MrJdebest]

The Dillon RL1100 can reload faster than I can afford to shoot.

I’m trying to get this all setup for 223. It’s taken a while to get all the components. But I think I’m finally setup almost completely. Can’t wait to get this stuff rolling thousands per day!

Went to the shop and was dead set on purchasing a 1050 for 9mm. Lady behind the counter said next month the RL1100 is coming out. Figured I am this close might as well wait a little.... This was a year ago, it just came in today! Time to get it together, bullet feeder will make life easier. Definitely a long wait for this day, should be great!

This is just screaming to have a motor attached to the handle. Wire a relay to the powder check to stop the motor if a failure happens and you'd be golden.

Great content , good to see what it takes to tweak for best performance on Dillon. Running that similar Hornady Lnl AP, tweaks about the same , and agree nothing compares to just pulling the handle and watching the bullets drop into the tray.

[@danedearmond4905]

I'm running two of these, near identical setups, one manually for .45ACP and one for .308 on a Mk.7 Autodrive. I also have a Mk.7 Revolution series for .223, another for 9mm, and another for .40S&W. With an "Autodrive" the RL-1100 is nearly as good as the Mk.7 revolutions (and was easy to install). The only really noticeable difference at that point is the additional tool head space for more dies on the Revolutions. Both Dillon and Mk.7 make some great systems. The only downside is this entire industry is a nightmare on orders and delivery. Everything is late on delivery. Most of the OEM's of consumables aren't even taking on large orders for the time being. Had a powder mfg. give us a quote for a couple kegs of powder only to then tell us when we sent the PO that they weren't accepting actual orders for the next year. Both a major European and Russian primer maker quote large orders and when we sent the order in were contacted shortly after saying the lead time on the order that size was 10 - 20 MONTHS ARO. The shortage is real folks... I can find projectiles and brass out the ears. But Primer and Powder are mostly non-existent at the OEM level.

[@Denvertubester]

Good point! At first glance I was skeptical there was powder in the case but it's there; kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4G1f2x6Z5Wlrrc I'm guessing the charge is so small for the 9mm 147 it's just not an issue.

I am also one of the lucky 1100 owners, mine is used for 5.56. the swage remover is absolutely vital with most brass being crimped these days. some reloading I enjoy, but not 5.56.. this press makes an unpleasant chore bearable.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

You can see why once you have this, you long for an autodrive! LOL Nice video Gavin!

[@TomsDIYShop]

You probably answer this question in the first build video, but it appears that you're not applying significant pressure on the up-stroke to insert primers....is this now a down-stroke operation with the 1100? I wanted the 1100 for the additional stations but purchased the 750 to allow budget for additional equipment & components. I purchased my 750 a few months ago (way wrong time to get into reloading) and either have to be at the sporting goods store at the crack of dawn or pay through the nose to scalpers charging $200 for a $38 box of primers. Another excellent video! I am learning a lot and appreciate you putting these out here!

[@stjoejoe]

this loader does not have to push forward to load a primer,part of why it a tad faster per hour,

[@shootloadrepeat]

It seats primers on the downstroke, via a tappet.

[@Nmdixon-cu7vm]

With the price of primers, bullets, and shells on auction sites being high due to out of stock situations; each time he pulls that handle is basically a dollar. Lmao.

[@ZhuJo99]

that's the point of reloading, especially on high volume. Stock up when it's cheap, reload when everybody cries how this and that is expensive or not available at all. And by stocking up I don't mean few thousands of primers and bullets. Tens of thousands, at least. And it is even not that expensive - buy 2k each month and it adds up pretty quickly.

[@shootloadrepeat]

How did you prevent the powder funnel from getting stuck in the case, as well as the crimp die? In my S1050, both the funnel and crimp dies cause the brass to get stuck, and the upstroke is always very violent as it pops off of the cases. Does it on both my S1050's in 9mm and .45ACP. I've just ordered some nitrided funnels but my crimp die is still going to stick. I wet tumble all my brass and I won't change this, so I know clean brass tends to stick in the funnels (polished or not) but I'm sure others also wet tumble and load on these machines with no issues but unable to lock down a consistent solution. I've tried quite a few things already. Ammo still comes out great, but my productivity suffers due to the popping unstick actions.

And will RCBS dies be ok? And where can I get brass? I have powder and large pistol primers, but no bullet tips. Where should I look.

ecleveland1 : Because UR recently did a video on the accuracy of many press seatings, most of which were single stage, Just wondering if it is possible to do for a progressive press as well. And I agree, after you’ve set your projectile seating and crimp, would it actually matter that a press’ overall seating may be slightly off.
