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.

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!

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.

I have been using that setup for 5 years now and have made many 10's of thousands of rounds, probably close to 100K. Once I got the 1050 dialed in, I was able to really crank out ammo. This has become my main press, with the XL650 relegated to odd types that I only make in small batches.
