That is pretty spiffy. What did that cost you?
Only $290.... Dillon cast are 250.. I said for 45 more why would I get the cast dillon and be missing the Threaded primer station, better machining and thick billet case feed cam...

Wow dude. That's a pretty good bit with 3- 1050's. That's awesome. Why the 3 - 1050 vs 2- 1050 and a 650 plus 2- 550? Just curious so I can help myself figure out my own set upI ended up with 3 1050’s, 2 550’s and a Redding T7. It‘s not the wife. I don’t have anymore space. Lol.
Sorry $295 vs $255 for oem Dillon....so $40 difference and free shipping.

RL1100 Super 1050 CP2000 CNC Tool Head
This tool head which is made out of A36 Steel with a black oxide coating, fits the Dillon Super 1050, RL1100, and CP2000, and is a great alternative to OEM tool heads withs its superior design, materials, and features. Most notably, the threaded hole above the priming station allows the use of a...opmfg.com
I also got their casefeed cam for my 4 Dillon oem toolheads and their casefeed bearing. Super smooth
I really like the Armanov toolhead for the same reasons, but I’m happy to see a domestic option that is competitive and has at least one feature that sounds better (the case feed slide).
The Hornady bushing requirement on the Armanov is a great point, because in reality it increases the cost of the setup beyond the OPM cost. I ordered one a few minutes ago, appreciate the recommendation.
Okay... 1050 vs 1100... I have neither but thinking of doing a 1100 for 223 and 9mm.
What's the biggest difference between the two parts interchangeability wise?
Anyone pumping out 5.56 heads up.. Powder Valley has H335 on clearance 8# jugs for $247.65 and free Hazmat...

Hodgdon H335 Smokeless Rifle Powder | Powder Valley
Hit your mark with Hodgdon H335 rifle powder from Powder Valley. H335 powder is great for 5.56 NATO, 222 Remington, 223 Remington and other small cartridges.www.powdervalley.com
With how much 223 you load do you a favorite powder or is it whatever is cheapest?
My local cabelas is pretty stacked with powder.....although they still want $140 for BR primers lolI saw that. They removed some of the discounted prices they had and added free hazmat. I got all excited when I saw their flyer this morning but then when I saw the increased prices I realized they're just shuffling $20 from one spot to the other. Good news is there's plenty of powder available these days.
Finally got the CNC toolhead installed, all the dies re-installed and tuned. MA hold down die over priming station. Also installing my Immortobot new sensor brackets that also came while I was away so I can get my case and bullet sensors installed.
I got the extra tall DramWorx hopper for my powder throw and the Immortobot sensor for that as well. Gotta get that installed next.
She's running sssooo smooth right now.
I've been meaning to ask you, any particular reson that you went with the Ammobot/Immortobot vs the Mark 7/Autodrive ?
I have a couple of Autodrives on my 650's. I had some issues in the beginning because Mark 7 assemblers at the factory left the column mounting screws loose that go up through the base. Once I found the problem and tightened them up, the Autodrives have been running trouble free.
Adopt me..........Only reason was because a killer deal fell into my lap for 2x1050's, both with case feeders and MBF, multiple conversions in 5.56, 9mm, 10mm and 45acp and Ammobot/Immortobot and lots of sensors, dies, toolheads, etc. $3500 for everything.
I full planned to buy a 1100/Mark7 and then this fell in my lap. Couldn't be happier.
You're a bad influence. I saw that bearing on your case feeder, and had to order one, as well as the arm for the OEM toolhead. And of course, then I saw the toolhead guide that replaces the spring dealio...Only reason was because a killer deal fell into my lap for 2x1050's, both with case feeders and MBF, multiple conversions in 5.56, 9mm, 10mm and 45acp and Ammobot/Immortobot and lots of sensors, dies, toolheads, etc. $3500 for everything.

Yeah, I was eyeballing the shellplates as well (for 6.5 CM case prep). LOL. I don't have a 308 conversion kit for the CP2000, so was thinking of pulling my 6.5CM case prep toolhead from the 750, and putting that on a spare 1100/2000 toolhead I have. Just wasn't sure if I could buy the inserts I'd need (the feeder arm and plastic insert for the case feeder tube). I like that raceway they machined into the bottom of the plate for the ball bearing stop; it makes too much sense.Hahah your welcome! The Armanov bearing and FW shellplate is really nice as well. So smooth.
I have 2 springs ordered...but rubber bands is an easy fix for today
@padom
I assume this is the old style return spring from the original 550's. I thought that stopped making them? Do you have a part number from Dillon?
Thanks
No but they are available online. I picked up a couple....
Why is that?
Why is that?
If you enjoy the process of change over, there is no issue. It will take 1 to 2 hrs per change over if you're cleaning as you go. Plan month per caliber or more. (Spring is 556, fall 9mm, summer and winter whatever and you'll get to a point of stocking ammo)550 then transition to a 650/750 with a case feeder and a bullet feeder. Huge upgrade in speed. I can probably load 800 rounds and hour if I’m trucking it lol.
The 1050’s and up are awesome machines but if you change calibers are a pita. If you set up for one caliber and not changing or loading straight .223 on it then rock on.
They are interchangeable.I think this question has been asked before; but I am trying to determine the difference between the RL1050, Super 1050, and RL1100 tool head. I have an older RL1050 and would like to try one of the newer tool heads. Just not sure of the compatibility. Any help is much appreciated.
There are difference in work height though.Thank you! This is a great resource.
Thats strange. I have old RL1050 toolheads, S1050 toolheads and a 6 month old 1100. The hole above the priming station on any of them isnt threaded at all.There is a difference in the hole size in the toolhead above the priming station. The older rl1050 toolheads have this smaller hole therefore the everglades armory hold down won't work in the older toolheads. Works fine in super 1050 toolheads. I have 5 or 6 of them right here.
I've started making the switch to all cnc toolheads with the Threaded priming station anyway

The one CP-2000 toolhead I have is threaded.
If I didnt have a dozen 1050/1100 toolheads I would make the conversion to cnc toolheads.
Ahhhh. Now I get it.I think your misunderstanding what I'm saying.. I'm not saying the hole in factory dillon toolheads are Threaded. They are not as you know.. it's a smaller diameter smooth wall hole.. Everglades armory makes a good down thst installs in thst non Threaded hole. Older rl1050 toolheads have a smaller diameter hole above priming station so the everglades hold down will not fit in that hole without modification... it fits in the slightly larger super 1050 and rl1100 hole...
Cnc toolheads above priming station are threaded..
