Buddy of mine just bought a new RL1100 and is now looking for more 223 and 9mm brass. It used to be everywhere but not anymore. Just got me wondering, how could one feed a press like that (and make it worthwhile) the way components are these days? I feel like I am stocked up pretty well but at 1k rounds an hour it would't take too long before I was out of primers, powder and even bullets! I just wonder how a company like dillon who makes the fastest most capable (and expensive) presses keeps selling them? I think before I droped the coin on a 1050/1100 machine I would want 50k primers/ bullets/brass ETC on the shelf or I wouldnt think it would be a good investment.

Mike Dillon invented the 450 to feed his machine gun and his engineers just kept expanding the design. I bleed Dillon blue but very few of us Dillionites load full out. As the saying goes things were different back then.


Only hits count.

I wish him the best, he has only ever loaded on a Rock chucker before this. I am super impressed with this dillon machine, but man will it cost a fortune to run it these days! Well see how it goes, I cant disagree with his logic tho, he knows if he decides he cant make this work to his advantage it will sell in minutes for at worst a minimum loss.

You feed it, and then it sits until you need to process brass on it. No one really reloads in one pass, especially 9mm and 223 because of crimped primer pockets and the need to swage the pockets. It’s just better to process a batch, swap toolhead and then load a batch.

I have two Super 1050’s with Mark 7 autodrives and a separate 750 with auto drive that solely processes rifle brass after annealing. Nothing about the process is “set it and forget it.” There’s ALWAYS something to feed, fix or fiddle with. Mostly primers due to Dillon’s primer feed tube holding limited quantities. Your friend will discover that 1000 rounds per hour ain’t gonna happen.
