So how fast is fast with a Dillon 1050?

We're not sure, but it's certainly fast. Follow us on Facebook! fastandfrien...

[@peterpiper_203]

I'm surprised that KZbin didn't block this as it is pornography for us gun enthusiasts

[@splattdaddydog1041]

Yes it lmao I love guns

[@Woodscraps-lr5vz]

Great content! -1 point for vertical video though. :)

[@sixbarspur2464]

Quick stopwatch on the video gives 25 cycles in16 1/2 secs giving a rate of just over 5400 per hour!

[@arcturusbbqsausagemaking2435]

Wow what a reloader You can probably use brittle bars with that set up Awesome video

[@jdsimons6115]

What an amazing press, but I will say if anything does go wrong it will go wrong in a big way.

[@backlash00]

Love this video. Wish it were in landscape so I could see more.

[@johnklein4558]

Wow! That is FAST!

[@tecate9408]

Amazing!

[@nathanhudelson4935]

That’s awesome.

[@roypoulos1378]

That is awesome

[@drubradley8821]

That was COOL ! ! ! !

[@lxstangs]

what upgrades do you have on that press, and what dies are on the machine . thanks

[@lxstangs]

badass!

[@Shooter7point62]

How did you achieve such smooth sizing?

[@Vfh........y]

holy cow.........sweet.

[@openmythirdeye]

I've watched a guy and his family pulling 1k +rounds (.223 rem)using a 1050 after experiencing a squib. Not sure what went wrong

[@charleshetrick3152]

What lube are you using? Presumably you’re leaving the expander ball in the resizing die?

[@jamesowens2781]

Just subbed can you respond about bulk 300 blk out prepped brass 5K

[@superman0tohero]

Wow how did you get that 1050 to index so smooth?!! I'd pay 💰 for that!!!

[@wjbirm]

It's all in the tuning. We have plenty of videos relating to tuning a 1050.

[@superman0tohero]

wjbirm ok thank you I'll be watching all of them. 😁

[@JeffinTD]

Wow.

[@ny6u]

how does powder drop that fast without making a mess ?

[@saltcreekammo]

Luis Saavedra it can't in one drop. The big camdex and ammo loaders sometimes have multiple powder drop stations set to only throw a few grains at a time. This madness is only for quick case prep...

[@davidrossman7925]

I was curious about that too, multiple powder stations makes sense for commercial applications

[@21anthem12]

This is brass prep only. They’re not dropping any powder here.

[@KA0S-247]

damn your bottle neck is the brass feeder and the Bullet feeder to that matter... have you thoiught of ways to increase those outputs?

[@wjbirm]

You realize that press is processing ammo, and not loading, right? A bullet feeder is not in play. And we have a collator that will drop 12,000/hr 5.56 rifle brass, or up to 15,000/hr pistol.

[@beachboardfan9544]

How does that drive run in one direction? Shouldnt it run one direction till the press stroke maxes out, then reverse direction?

[@2004greenjeep]

Beach&BoardFan it has a crankshaft like a engine rather then a fixed up/down lever

[@LadyHaze90]

It started to skip one unless that's programmed?

[@charleshetrick3152]

The shell casings collator couldn’t keep up.

[@davedave2941]

Should stress in your title this is brass prep not full on speed for compete loaded cartridges (primer,powder, bullet seated)

[@wjbirm]

We would think that people would have enough common sense to realize you cannot drop powder that fast.

[@kevindonkin716]

I love it for sure but if something goes wrong it could be trashing 4500 rounds per hour. I don’t see any safety features

[@wjbirm]

Then you missed not only the mechanical clutch but also the electronic.

[@phillyska]

Quality of ammo would be absolute garbage at that speed.

[@wjbirm]

Well, good thing it's not making ammo, but only processing brass.

[@charleshetrick3152]

Take a look at the whole press, there’s no powder or bullet drop installed. This is just de-cap, and resize. I run a hornady LNL AP and do the same thing. I “roll size” then lube and resize and de-prime. Then clean and tumble then uniform primer pockets only then do I prime powder and bullet and yes at much slower speed. Because the other operations aren’t causing un-due dither are outright failures I crank out much more ammo per hour than if I actually attempted every station occupied operation.
