Thanks so much, but I assure you that Dillon doesn't have a clue who I am. As I've said elsewhere, I have zero connection to any of the companies whose products I feature. If you enjoyed this, you might also enjoy the review of the Forester Co-Ax press, along with a follow-up video on same. th-cam.com/video/NEzVZe7f6G0/w-d-xo.html Actually, I have to amend that. I did a recent video featuring the Ransom Pistol Rest and the folks at Ransom saw the video and had some nice things to say including that they wanted to show it on their web site. Of course I was happy about that, but that's the only contact I've had with a product maker from one of my videos.
You are a natural instructor sir, First Class demo, Dillon should be paying you a lot for such an instructive demo. also you have a very pleasant voice. Thank you.
"I've wanted one of these for like 30 years" ...... yup, I know how that feels. On the bullet feeder "some people are just smarter" LOL One of the most well done vids on all of TH-cam.
That was probably the best, concise and clear demo video I've seen. And I have looked at a lot. Thank you. Been reloading for 34 yrs and have seen a bunch useless stuff. This was great.
I've done radio (for golf) and worked with many instructors, book authors, etc..... you sir are a natural instructor for reloading. By far the best video for reloading I've seen and maybe the best I've seen for instruction & demo period. Thanks!!!
Heck knows good for you man .... 30 years ! You are a patient guy ... the sound is really nice ... I didn’t know you could really make your own bullets
you sir are a happy and lucky man to have such awesome toys. i hope someday with a little hard work and saving can be like you and have the things i want. as of now i do all my reloading with a single stage press. i enjoy it but i cant wait to have a set up like that.
When you buy your progressive press, you'll discover that it's more than a reloading machine ... it's a time machine. Here in California, the Democrats have regulated ammo sales, so the only way to keep your freedom is to reload.
I have to say that’s one of the more thorough vids I’ve ever seen, explaining in *awesome* detail, the workings of this press... VERY informative and helpful, I have this machine coming to me, and I really enjoyed how you explained individually what all the stations did, in addition to showing examples with AND w/out the casings to show the reaction of the press. Thanks so much for it! Great video....
Thank you, Emerson. You will enjoy it. Work it a lot without primers, powder or cases to get a feel for the sounds and the physical responses from the machine as it cycles.
I love reloading. Machinery and cottage industry manufacturing is so awesome. I want one of these presses so damn bad. I wonder if they make one for 6.5 Creedmoor. I wouldn't die without it, because 6.5 is for my bolt gun and I'm not blowing through 6.5 constantly, but it'd be nice to have a neverending supply of 6.5 so I can help people get into the caliber.
You could potentially set a toolhead up for 6.5cm. The issue is getting accurate throws from the powder dispenser. The press will accommodate .308 so basically buy a 308 caliber change kit (at least the shell plate and locator pins, powderthru funnel, and then use 6.5cm dies. I use one of my 1050's for .308 and .45 ACP and another for 5.56 and 9mm (small primer vs large primer) 8 complete toolheads has me set for everything I shoot. Although I load all my 6.5cm and other precision calibers on single stage presses.
This is, by far, the best reloading video I've yet to see. You explained it thoroughly in an easygoing manner. Thanks so much for posting it. The Dillon 1050 is on my near term list. Like you, I don't shoot enough to really need it, but it's such a good press I just don't see the sense in getting any other. Many thanks.
Thanks so much. It's truly a great reloading system, much more than just a press. Yes, it is expensive, but you do get your money's worth. You can easily spend more on a good rifle and scope.
As a person who helps others every day as part of my job, I can appreciate the way you explain things in every day language that anyone can easily understand. Appreciate the time you took to make this video and the quality of the camera. This was a job well done.
This is exactly what I was looking for -what does the machine do each step, what are the failsafes, and what accessories make sense. Most of Dillon’s videos show set up, and I wanted to see function. So thank you!
Just added a 1050 to my collection. Same here it was a bucket list, right deal thing. Deal came along with 1050, extra cases, powder, bullets at half price, so I jumped in. Just setting up my new bullet feeder so found this video. Very well done, thanks.
Nail on the head, Rick. I regularly watch Adam Booth (ABOM79) on TH-cam in his machine shop. He often uses a shaper, a very old machine rarely seen these days. He gets criticized for using it rather than more modern vertical or horizontal mills. He answers this by saying, "I love this machine. It brings me pleasure to operate it and see it run. I enjoy everything about it. I'm doing this for my pleasure and not to make money or save time. It's what I like, so get over it." It's all about the journey.
My pleasure. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Best of luck with your 1050. You might want to watch the video where I added power from a pneumatic cylinder. I'm working to refine that process and go into detail.
Thanks for the video Rex! I found a used Super 1050 at our Lions Club Gun Show today and snatched it up for $1500.00. It was all set up for 223 with the dies - very happy with it.
Congratulations for your video!! From the south of the south(Argentina) I ve really enjoy your comments!! This machine is wonderfull and you have worked like a teacher
Muchas gracias mi amigo. Necesitas un Dillon para disparar mucho en las Pampas. I love to hear from folks in other countries. Thank you for your kind comment.
Rex, just like the Forrester co-ax, this should be a part one. I have never seen a more thorough look at such a high end machine. Plus, whatever cameras you have are the most high-quality, the detail is amazing!
Thanks. There are a lot of "hidden" details about the 1050 that I think folks would enjoy seeing, so a "Part Two" is entirely possible. For the most part, I use a Canon C100 camera and I'm very happy with it.
Thank you very much. I was a TV news anchor in the 70's, was a partner in an ad agency and operated an industrial film production company. In the 80's I switched careers and became a design engineer. Our company manufactured drilling rigs. I was there for 35 years and then retired.
Fascinating. I knew there was something special about you. I would liked to have watched you as a news anchor. You sure do capture an audience! God bless sir...I'm going to see what other videos you made!
You, good sir, are fantastic at explaining the intricacies of this machine. I concur with all those that have said you should be a spokesman of sorts for Dillon. Great voice, perfect delivery, and exceptional camera angles. I have watched many reloading videos, have been reloading for about 5 years (Lee Loaders, Dillon 550, RCBS single stage) and have friends that have multiple machines as well. I learned more about the inner workings by watching this video than I ever have in any of those experiences. Liked and subscribed, appreciate your time and effort.
I, like you got lucky. I’ve been reloading a few years and have always wanted a Dillon. A good friend of mine has one but no time. He just up and gave me his 550. I love it. Btw Dillon customer service is out of this world. Thanks for the video!
Good for you. This next comment is strictly anecdotal. The friend I bought my 1050 from also has a couple of 550s and he swears they make the most accurate ammo of all the Dillon presses. At the very least, the 550 doesn't give up anything in terms of quality, just features.
NICE!! Thank you for the video! I’m fascinated with that primer machine, how cool 😎 I’m using a LnL with bullet and case feed. It sure had room for improvements. It’s constant readjustment, sometimes adding newer parts. It does ok. But it’s nothing like your Dillion!! It’s hard for me to justify another loading machine..... not that that will stop me Thank you again for the well made video you shared!
Very interesting about the Super 1050. I own an XL650 which is much like the 1050, except I don’t have the bullet-feeder or your $379 primer-filling machine. We’ve loaded tens of thousands of pistol rounds from 9mm to .44 mag and love this machine, so we understand your passion for the 1050. Enjoyed your video!
Wow that is the ultimate press station 😉 I have a single stage press but I enjoy reloading in my spare time even though my system is a far cry from that Dillon piece of art, thanks for sharing.
My dad was an executive and had little interest in tools. Consequently, I often borrowed a screwdriver from the two old maid sisters who lived next door. That probably led to my retched excesses in tool purchasing as an adult.
Thanks. Take a look at these: th-cam.com/video/oZVEh80bGXE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/T7ZhuNH7hrA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/EkOXb08DC1s/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/slKyDXmWVGM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/MdI2_n05c7I/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ClhS2C-wpQk/w-d-xo.html
Incredible video, by far the best, most informative reloading video I've ever seen. Dillon should really offer you something nice because you just helped me make up my mind to buy this setup. Thank you
You Sir, are the total consummate professional. Great presentation, exacting and direct. Thank You, and hope to see more productions like this in the future
I have watched this video many times and always enjoy it each Time! I have a Dillion 650 set up for 45 acp and just ordered a 750 to leave for 9mm. I don't shoot that much either, but I love quality equipment and the joy of reloading. Thank you for your always wonderful videos! They are always a treat! This machine is a marvel.
Thank you for have great clear audio and proper lighting. So many do not do this. Great close ups too. I think you must have some TV production in your background. Excellent video. Thank you.
Rex you’re a lucky man, been working a Dillon Square deal for 30 years and finally figured out how to make a case feeder for it. I made a video of that on my channel but what you got is the cream of the crop, enjoy your loading I'm jealous
Thank you for letting me know, Jay. Very much appreciated. I hope you get into reloading and enjoy it as much as most of us do. Yes, I fully understand for many it's an onerous chore, but I enjoy the creation process for its own sake.
Excellent review with well thought out explanation of the process along with detailed video. This is a great example of what a "how-to" video should look like.
Best video EVER explaining the Dillon reloading process. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning. I cant thank you enough. Btw, I need that primer loader!!!
You are so very welcome, Jeremy. I would not have bought the primer loader if it had not been part of the package deal. HOWEVER, that is a fantastic device and I'm very happy that I have it. Highly recommended. It's one of those "expensive but worth every penny" kind of things.
I have held out for a very long time. I have several hand loading presses that I use primarily for rifle and could use with my magnum pistols, but you have convinced me to get serious and start the 1050 search again and stop buying 1K rounds cases of 9, 10, 40, 45 and 223/556 I have tens of thousands of rounds of cleaned and to be cleaned cases ready for that machine. That was the very best video on the "hand operated" Dillon I have seen to date. Thanks for taking to time.
Wow, if I ever heard of a match made in Heaven, you, your cleaned components and the 1050 seem to be it. Best of luck with your search. P.S. If you get one, let us know how hard or easy it was to find one that met your requirements.
Nice video very well done, I’ve been using my RCBS single stage for many years now and have been looking at the xl650, but after seeing your video, I do see many advantages of buying the 1050 for more serious and accurate reloading of both rifle and pistol ammo
You'll have to decide what's right for your situation. The "fully loaded" 1050 is truly amazing, but moving to a 650 over a single stage press would be a quantum leap in speed and ease. If you want to load for several calibers, you must consider the expense difference between a 650 changeover vs. a 1050. When you get right down to the gist of the matter, it really boils down to cost vs benefits and what you can justify and/or afford to spend. If reloading is a big part of your leisure life, if you derive great pleasure from the tools you use in this craft, if you want a machine that is substantially more robust, fast, smooth than its nearest competition, and if you can see your way to spend essentially the price of a very good rifle and scope on a piece of reloading equipment, then you'll probably not be happy with anything less than the 1050.
Just inherited one of these and found 20,000 primers and shell casings and bullets my dad had after he passed away 😞 so I must say I'm now emotionally attached to this dillion . Thanks for the awesome video 😊
I purchased a RCBS Pro 2000 Progressive loader, I have been working to try and get it going , Dillion seems so much more automated on such a larger scale,on the RCBS you feed each individual brass case into the machine,here its automated. Im going to look into Dillion. Great video.
Just a fabulous presentation, I currently do not reload, but this video was very informative. Thank you making it. If you ever tire of using this machine, I'll make an offer.
Rex, as others have posted, this is a great video, very instructive! I could watch and listen all day. The auto primer tube feeder stacker thing is especially interesting and fascinating for me to watch. I just may have to dust off my gear and start reloading again. I also totally agree that Dillon should do something for you!!
Congratulations!! I've been running a 650 for better than 20 years (I still have the instructional video on VHS!), and I love my Big Blue. Been lusting after one of these ever since it came out, but really can't justify it when mine does what I need just fine... But one can dream.
Rex, congratulations. The 1050 is indeed a high quality reloading tools. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps, someday the stars will align for me. All of your presentations are top shelf. I enjoy them tremendously.
Excellent Video! I had a 650 for a few years before i stopped reloading and it was great quality. Now i want a 1050! Thanks for the video. And Dillon should send you a bunch of free stuff. :)
Rex, that was a terrific tutorial, view, primer on the Dillon 1050! Expertly presented too. So glad I found you and your blog. One caveat...don't lie to us! I know there are lots of wonderful goodies behind that curtain! To heck with the uncluttered backdrop!
Heh heh heh. That mysterious curtain has truly been the focus of a lot of attention. Of course the shelves are plainly visible in many of my other videos. Thanks for the kind words.
Wow, what an awesome press, I had a dealer try to talk me into buying one back when, but it was way out of my budget. So I bought a Hornady press and my so and I brought it home and right away we we're loading 600 rounds an hour of 9mm. But after watching your video I wished that I had laid out the extra money, but in reality it just wasn't in reach but it is an awesome press. Thanks for a great video.
Hi Rex, Excellent Done Sir, and so informative. I reloaded years ago, sold my reloader and doing research now on a new purchase. You sold me, my problem is I don't shoot enough, yet love quality and efficient. I'll most likely will be looking for a Dillion 1050 due to your excellent instructional video. I subscribed, Thank You, Alaska John
AlaskaJohn Thank you so much for your kind words. I understand about low shooting volume vs. high quality and efficiency. These machines are simply magnificent.
Wow, I sure hope dillon is cutting you in on some of their profits, because that's the best demo On a reloading press I have seen yet! Great video!
Thanks so much, but I assure you that Dillon doesn't have a clue who I am. As I've said elsewhere, I have zero connection to any of the companies whose products I feature. If you enjoyed this, you might also enjoy the review of the Forester Co-Ax press, along with a follow-up video on same.
th-cam.com/video/NEzVZe7f6G0/w-d-xo.html
Actually, I have to amend that. I did a recent video featuring the Ransom Pistol Rest and the folks at Ransom saw the video and had some nice things to say including that they wanted to show it on their web site. Of course I was happy about that, but that's the only contact I've had with a product maker from one of my videos.
I concur that was a well thought out video - thanks
The patriot1776 agreed👍
I just told my wife one of the best videos I have seen! Great job!
You are a natural instructor sir, First Class demo, Dillon should be paying you a lot for such an instructive demo. also you have a very pleasant voice. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your encouraging words. I would love to make some videos for Dillon, but they have yet to contact me .
I have been reloading for over 30 years. Best explanation I have seen of the reloading process and progressive reloaders. Well done!
"I've wanted one of these for like 30 years" ...... yup, I know how that feels. On the bullet feeder "some people are just smarter" LOL One of the most well done vids on all of TH-cam.
Excellent video. Many thanks for the time & effort you've invested in this!
"nothing behind the curtain." just what someone with something good behind a curtain would say!
Great looking machine, and you do an even better job of explaining how it works and all the moving parts. Now I need to get one! Thank you
That was probably the best, concise and clear demo video I've seen. And I have looked at a lot. Thank you. Been reloading for 34 yrs and have seen a bunch useless stuff. This was great.
I really appreciate what you said. Thank you.
You are a very GREAT instructor! The camera angles were first rate. Thanks for putting this up on line!
"some people are just really smarter than others.." best line. Great video.
Rex, you do an awesome job of explaining and showing all the bits and pieces. Thank you!
Love the way you presented this machine, cool stories and such -- thanks for making the video!
I would literally just sit and watch those primers being right sided. That is one amazing machine that i will never be able to afford .... WOW
What can I say. Great presentation! Enjoyed a lot! This is the power of engineering - those case and bullet feeders :). Thanks Rex!
I've done radio (for golf) and worked with many instructors, book authors, etc..... you sir are a natural instructor for reloading. By far the best video for reloading I've seen and maybe the best I've seen for instruction & demo period. Thanks!!!
Whoa! Thank you so much!
Heck knows good for you man .... 30 years ! You are a patient guy ... the sound is really nice ... I didn’t know you could really make your own bullets
you sir are a happy and lucky man to have such awesome toys. i hope someday with a little hard work and saving can be like you and have the things i want. as of now i do all my reloading with a single stage press. i enjoy it but i cant wait to have a set up like that.
When you buy your progressive press, you'll discover that it's more than a reloading machine ... it's a time machine. Here in California, the Democrats have regulated ammo sales, so the only way to keep your freedom is to reload.
Love the way you took time to show and explain everything. Great stuff
I have to say that’s one of the more thorough vids I’ve ever seen, explaining in *awesome* detail, the workings of this press...

Thank you, Emerson. You will enjoy it. Work it a lot without primers, powder or cases to get a feel for the sounds and the physical responses from the machine as it cycles.
Great demonstration for a great machine! Well done!
Whoever built them primer and shell / bullet feeder/sorter’s is a true legend... like my mind is blown
Four years later and the vibration separated caps was really brilliant. Looking at getting into reloading and this machine is in the running
Wonderful equipment, I don't reload but admire the engineering that went into a piece like this.
I love reloading. Machinery and cottage industry manufacturing is so awesome. I want one of these presses so damn bad. I wonder if they make one for 6.5 Creedmoor. I wouldn't die without it, because 6.5 is for my bolt gun and I'm not blowing through 6.5 constantly, but it'd be nice to have a neverending supply of 6.5 so I can help people get into the caliber.

What an amazing machine. and a fantastic walkthrough of all the components. Rex, thank you so much. This was practically therapeutic. 👍
Well, that "therapeutic" has to be a first for me. Thanks much, Greg.

Thanks, Bill. I have several videos featuring this machine. Maybe you'll find some answers there.
This video makes me want to get into this. I have a lot to review but really enjoyed your video.
There's no way I could fill that little primer machine and not watch it load the tube! Pretty cool how it un-jammed itself in time. Awesome setup.
Just added a 1050 to my collection. Same here it was a bucket list, right deal thing.
Deal came along with 1050, extra cases, powder, bullets at half price, so I jumped in.
Just setting up my new bullet feeder so found this video.
Very well done, thanks.
I'm with you. I do minimal shooting, but love the tools and process of reloading. I could do nothing but reload and be a happy camper!
Nail on the head, Rick. I regularly watch Adam Booth (ABOM79) on TH-cam in his machine shop. He often uses a shaper, a very old machine rarely seen these days.

I've inherited my dads xl 650, and am very new to this... lots to learn.
Happy loading and safe shooting!
Great video,thx. I've had a Dillon 650 for 25 years and I love it.
Very well done video, Rex. Thank you. I could listen to you tell Old West stories around a campfire all night.
Congratulations for your video!!
From the south of the south(Argentina) I ve really enjoy your comments!!
This machine is wonderfull
and you have worked like a teacher
Muchas gracias mi amigo. Necesitas un Dillon para disparar mucho en las Pampas.
I love to hear from folks in other countries. Thank you for your kind comment.
I would enjoy being your neighbor, you are a fantastic teacher. Thank you sir👌
Thank you Rex you did a phenomenal job explaining the machine.

Fascinating. I knew there was something special about you. I would liked to have watched you as a news anchor. You sure do capture an audience! God bless sir...I'm going to see what other videos you made!
Thanks again. I suppose I might do a little short video with some pictures of my various careers.
Amazing video sir. Thank you for taking the time to share all the intricate workings of this fine machine. :)
Unbelievably nice reloading setup. Wow. I feel like I’m in the Stone Age with my single stage 45 ACP rig.
Very informative about that Dillion. Still pertinent today. Now I know how the 550 works. Great job.
One of the best video on TH-cam. You explained very clearly and concise. I love it but cost darn much! $2k I can buy lots of bullets....:(
Everything about this machine is great, would love to watch it run all day
Man i knew of reloading ammo but this machine and your review of it makes me wanna go buy one.
You, good sir, are fantastic at explaining the intricacies of this machine. I concur with all those that have said you should be a spokesman of sorts for Dillon.

Wow that is the ultimate press station 😉 I have a single stage press but I enjoy reloading in my spare time even though my system is a far cry from that Dillon piece of art, thanks for sharing.
Oh, I love that "I love good tools!". I keep saying that all the time myself buying fewer but way better tools that never disappoint.
My dad was an executive and had little interest in tools. Consequently, I often borrowed a screwdriver from the two old maid sisters who lived next door. That probably led to my retched excesses in tool purchasing as an adult.
Excellent example of how this machine works. Thank you
Be nice to see a video on changing shell plates,primer sizes and any adjustments the plates and other parts may need. You make great videos.

You Sir, are the total consummate professional. Great presentation, exacting and direct. Thank You, and hope to see more productions like this in the future
Studio Luce Photography You get the Gold Beaver Badge for comments!
Great video Rex. Congrats on your new baby. Guess I'll have to stick with my 550 for now.
Thanks, William. I doubt if any of us would turn down a 550 if it were offered. I know I wouldn't.
I really found this interesting! The simple devices used to load brass, bullets and primers are intriguing fun to watch!
I have watched this video many times and always enjoy it each Time! I have a Dillion 650 set up for 45 acp and just ordered a 750 to leave for 9mm. I don't shoot that much either, but I love quality equipment and the joy of reloading. Thank you for your always wonderful videos! They are always a treat! This machine is a marvel.
Thanks, Robin. I suspect you have revealed the "dirty little secret" of all progressive reloading machines: they are usually dedicated to one caliber.
Thanks Rex, that makes me feel not as guilty! Have a great new year.
Thank you for have great clear audio and proper lighting. So many do not do this. Great close ups too. I think you must have some TV production in your background. Excellent video. Thank you.
Rex you’re a lucky man, been working a Dillon Square deal for 30 years and finally figured out how to make a case feeder for it. I made a video of that on my channel but what you got is the cream of the crop, enjoy your loading I'm jealous
One of the best descriptions of a reloader. If you dont have one make a video on how to change and set up from on caliber to another. Great job.
Rex, I have been looking at reloading and thanks for all the info u provided in your video. It has been a big help.
Thank you for letting me know, Jay. Very much appreciated. I hope you get into reloading and enjoy it as much as most of us do. Yes, I fully understand for many it's an onerous chore, but I enjoy the creation process for its own sake.
Love that you love the machine so much it's a thing of beauty you have a very good friend congratulations
What a wonderful demonstration for someone like me who is just now researching this topic! Thank you!
Glad it helped. I always appreciate folks who share info on subjects I’m interested in.
That is the best tour of that press that I have ever seen. Good, careful, patient presentation!
Thank you very much!
Thank you, great demonstration.
This man had me sold on the Dillon 1050 in the first minute and a half! Great video!
Sir, thank you very much indeed, for helping me understand the complexity of this wonderful reloading machine.
Oscar
You are very welcome.
Excellent review with well thought out explanation of the process along with detailed video. This is a great example of what a "how-to" video should look like.
Best video EVER explaining the Dillon reloading process. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning. I cant thank you enough. Btw, I need that primer loader!!!
You are so very welcome, Jeremy. I would not have bought the primer loader if it had not been part of the package deal. HOWEVER, that is a fantastic device and I'm very happy that I have it. Highly recommended. It's one of those "expensive but worth every penny" kind of things.
Wow! This was an EXTREMELY useful video! Thank you Rex!
I have held out for a very long time. I have several hand loading presses that I use primarily for rifle and could use with my magnum pistols, but you have convinced me to get serious and start the 1050 search again and stop buying 1K rounds cases of 9, 10, 40, 45 and 223/556 I have tens of thousands of rounds of cleaned and to be cleaned cases ready for that machine. That was the very best video on the "hand operated" Dillon I have seen to date.
Thanks for taking to time.
Wow, if I ever heard of a match made in Heaven, you, your cleaned components and the 1050 seem to be it. Best of luck with your search. P.S. If you get one, let us know how hard or easy it was to find one that met your requirements.
Great job on the video; clear explanations and very good close ups of each part of the process. Thanks for the time and effort it took...well done!
Thank you so much!
Nice video very well done, I’ve been using my RCBS single stage for many years now and have been looking at the xl650, but after seeing your video, I do see many advantages of buying the 1050 for more serious and accurate reloading of both rifle and pistol ammo
You'll have to decide what's right for your situation. The "fully loaded" 1050 is truly amazing, but moving to a 650 over a single stage press would be a quantum leap in speed and ease. If you want to load for several calibers, you must consider the expense difference between a 650 changeover vs. a 1050.
When you get right down to the gist of the matter, it really boils down to cost vs benefits and what you can justify and/or afford to spend. If reloading is a big part of your leisure life, if you derive great pleasure from the tools you use in this craft, if you want a machine that is substantially more robust, fast, smooth than its nearest competition, and if you can see your way to spend essentially the price of a very good rifle and scope on a piece of reloading equipment, then you'll probably not be happy with anything less than the 1050.
Just inherited one of these and found 20,000 primers and shell casings and bullets my dad had after he passed away 😞 so I must say I'm now emotionally attached to this dillion . Thanks for the awesome video 😊
That's quite a treasure you've inherited. Use it well and make your dad proud.
@@RexRoach thank you I will 😊
I loved mine, but no space to reload in my new home.
I purchased a RCBS Pro 2000 Progressive loader, I have been working to try and get it going , Dillion seems so much more automated on such a larger scale,on the RCBS you feed each individual brass case into the machine,here its automated. Im going to look into Dillion. Great video.
Absolutely the best video about reloading, incredibly informative and illustrative, very easygoing, thank you sir 👍
Thank you so much!
The bullet and case feeders are amazing!
Just a fabulous presentation, I currently do not reload, but this video was very informative. Thank you making it. If you ever tire of using this machine, I'll make an offer.
Thank you. It's always good to have a fall-back Plan B.
Rex, as others have posted, this is a great video, very instructive! I could watch and listen all day. The auto primer tube feeder stacker thing is especially interesting and fascinating for me to watch. I just may have to dust off my gear and start reloading again. I also totally agree that Dillon should do something for you!!
Thank you. By all means, start reloading again and shoot more!
professional presentation SIR. Thank you very much Oz Mazzetta
Your videos are absolutely the best! I hope that you never stop doing them.
Me too!!!
Great demonstration. If my shooting frequency necessitated me having a press like this your demo would influence me to buy one. What a slick tool.
Thank you. Buy the press and you'll find your shooting frequency WILL rise to the occasion.
"WOW" Great Video. Love how you take your time and fully explain concept behind this press. Great!!!!
Wow , great explanation of how it works for a newbie. Also great smooth tone of voice. Keep’m coming.
Congratulations!! I've been running a 650 for better than 20 years (I still have the instructional video on VHS!), and I love my Big Blue. Been lusting after one of these ever since it came out, but really can't justify it when mine does what I need just fine... But one can dream.
Rex, congratulations. The 1050 is indeed a high quality reloading tools. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps, someday the stars will align for me. All of your presentations are top shelf. I enjoy them tremendously.
I appreciate when viewers take a moment to add to the conversation.
What a fantastic presentation. Nicely done.
Excellent Video! I had a 650 for a few years before i stopped reloading and it was great quality. Now i want a 1050! Thanks for the video. And Dillon should send you a bunch of free stuff. :)
Rex, that was a terrific tutorial, view, primer on the Dillon 1050! Expertly presented too.
So glad I found you and your blog.
One caveat...don't lie to us! I know there are lots of wonderful goodies behind that curtain! To heck with the uncluttered backdrop!
Heh heh heh. That mysterious curtain has truly been the focus of a lot of attention. Of course the shelves are plainly visible in many of my other videos. Thanks for the kind words.
Excellent video. Brief and concise . No filler BS
Wow, what an awesome press, I had a dealer try to talk me into buying one back when, but it was way out of my budget. So I bought a Hornady press and my so and I brought it home and right away we we're loading 600 rounds an hour of 9mm. But after watching your video I wished that I had laid out the extra money, but in reality it just wasn't in reach but it is an awesome press. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for joining the discussion.
Hi Rex, Excellent Done Sir, and so informative. I reloaded years ago, sold my reloader and doing research now on a new purchase. You sold me, my problem is I don't shoot enough, yet love quality and efficient. I'll most likely will be looking for a Dillion 1050 due to your excellent instructional video. I subscribed, Thank You, Alaska John
AlaskaJohn Thank you so much for your kind words. I understand about low shooting volume vs. high quality and efficiency. These machines are simply magnificent.
Woohoo! A newcreloading video with Rex! You are so relaxing to lissen and watch!
I hope to make some more in the next few days. Thanks for your encouragement.
