Just inherited one of these and found 20,000,000 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 😊
RIP… Your pop was a legend for that. I know you’d probably rather have him back but I’m sure he’s proud you gave it a shot to keep it alive. Hope all is well
Great video, keep em coming! Automated helps me keep a better eye on things (not at 2k per hour). A manual press is good, it turns into a bit of juggling act of repetition which can be mind-numbing if done for to long that in itself becomes unsafe.
Get a single stage LEE press and a bunch of LEE dies. You'll learn a ton of stuff and if you decide to upgrade to a Dillon or so, you can still keep the single stage press for other tasks. That's what I did and that's what I currently still use (Dillon XL 650 + Mark VII motor + single stage LEE C-Cast press).
DAMN! $1600 for an electric motor and controller. You could buy another dillon 1050 for that price and then two fist your ammo making process. F*ck this, $500 is about all something like this is worth.
AmmoBot An electric motor and variable frequency drive to perform this task would cost about $300-$400 at most, and a chain drive maybe $100 (personally I would run a belt drive, it would be quieter). This just seem like excessive price gouging. Not saying its a bad product or poor idea, just insanely overpriced. Lots of people have been making automation products for Dillons super 1050 for a long time.
So are you saying that their time, effort and knowledge is worth nothing? Get the hell out of here with that attitude. If its that easy, where is your automated reloading set up?
Beach&BoardFan this isn't just a dumb drive system like a Ponsness Warren. This is a computer controlled system that is scalable to handle communication with sensors and accessories. This system also employs the same motors and drives as CNC machining centers making it extremely accurate. Customers who process brass report accuracy of trim length to within +/- .001". In sure someone with the right knowledge can slap together a drive system of some sort for around the same price you gave. But that doesn't come with the warranty and support of a company with hundreds of combined years of experience in industrial automation and controls.
Yes, the handle is there just for that reason. You can run the machine automated or manually, your choice. The motor does add a small bit of resistance to it, but nothing major.
I have the hornady lock and load ammo factory setup. Would the ammo bot work with the hornady press? I have never seen any body try it with any other press besides the hornady shotgun press. There’s a part of me that wants to switch to Dillion. Just for all the good things I hear about it. I have never had problems with hornady but I have had my eyes on the Dillion 1050 for a few years now. Any suggestions?
What would your exact setup cost (in 9mm)? I kind of have a buy once, cry once mentality. I've been eyeing a Dillon 650XL, but if I can get everything I need like your setup for not an order of magnitude more (running pre-prepped brass until I can buy an ultrasonic cleaner, etc, to prep my own fired brass); I might just spring for a 1050.
Len M. would really look at a wet tumbler setup over ultrasonic. I bought the STM rebel 17 and it is the best reloading purchase so far for me. wet tumblers just require water and dawn dish detergent. no chemicals to buy.
I mean it's cool and all but for $1500 and then even more for the upgraded switch I'll just take that money and buy some more reloading supplies and possibly some wolf gold plinking ammo. Makes sense though for those with that kind of extra cash.
I started by taking a course at Cabela's: NRA Basic Metallic Cartridge Reloading Course. This way I could learn the proper way right from the start and not have to unlearn any incorrect practices. Plenty of people are great at this and could do a great job teaching it. I didn't know anyone as well as this is reputable and structured. Great class, I'd take it again.
Jormungand13324 I started with one step of the process and bought a wet tumbler. then added hand tools for the next step and so on till i could prep all my brass. also started with a single stage Lee classic cast press. it is slower than progressive. I feel it is more accurate. I have moved on to progressive presses, but I still use the single stage press for my precision rifle.
Jormungand13324 the single stage was not too bad. the Lee press is like 125$ and the kit with other helpful tools is 275$. I don't reload to save money as you can get good quality ammo pretty cheap. I use Atlanta Arms online. I reload because I enjoy it as a hobby. the money saved reloading is usually spent shooting more rounds and more often.
@@TheGunCollective The average person runs these machines at approx 500-600 rounds per minute, for safety, to inspect what is happening. That is the same speed as manually running it.

Great video, keep em coming!

A reloading series would be cool
With 2 1050s I could... ahhhh.... Im not gonna.... but I wannna !!!
Nice to see you are putting Immortal Arms' parts to work.
oodlesofnoodles83 AmmoBot makes the machine. Immortal Arms is one of their dealers.
Ammobot makes the machine, Immortal Arms does package deals as well as designs add on capabilities for it.
So yeah, more reloading and stuff. Really didn't know this kind of tech was a thing but it is super awesome!
Yes! More reloading videos!
My retirement will have one of these running 24/7, me at the range all day and at night I'll be melting lead and cleaning my brass
I would love to see more reviews on reloading products and for that matter lead casting as well.
Yes do something for a person who wants to get into reloading but doesn't know where to start? Please
Brad Bodai Check Iraq veteran 8888
he goes into detail on where to start in the process, and a tool list.
Get a single stage LEE press and a bunch of LEE dies. You'll learn a ton of stuff and if you decide to upgrade to a Dillon or so, you can still keep the single stage press for other tasks.

LOL, you look like a kid in the candy store watching it run ... great setup!
I would love in depth videos about hand loading. I would like to get started loading 12ga. Skeet loads!
Does this ammobot work on all types of bullets?
DAMN! $1600 for an electric motor and controller. You could buy another dillon 1050 for that price and then two fist your ammo making process. F*ck this, $500 is about all something like this is worth.
Beach&BoardFan I agreed with you. 1600 is far too expensive for guys that won't be reselling
Folks that shoot competitively, have disabilities, or just don't want to pull the handle can benefit from it as well.

Where's the link to ammobot
Can you still use the press with the handle when not using the motor?
Yes, the handle is there just for that reason. You can run the machine automated or manually, your choice. The motor does add a small bit of resistance to it, but nothing major.
definitely would like to see more reloading content.
great stuff!!
JWB brass website is set to private?
Man I'd love to have a setup like this
R1Predator we can help you out with that

I'm looking into starting a ammo company
I’d be interested
Is the AmmoBOt still in production?
Now that's cool , I gotta get a auto reloader
Can you reload 5.56 on this?
would love to see more reloading equipment not reviewed. most stores do not carry much equipment and few if any let you see it in action.
How much is a complete kit?
Can ir reload 556?
yeah, more reloading info would be great. it's a world wholly unknown to me.
The most American way to load up!
i wanna see more about reloading on tgc. please.
How much for this hole set up
If it could weigh each completed cartridge and dump over and underweight ones in another box. You could always shoot those from a carbine.

$4.95

Len M. We make the AmmoBot. If you are interested please visit our website at www.ammobot.us
$3560 for a full setup (1050, Bullet Feeder and Ammobot). Immortobot does full packages.
Len M. Get one of those Frankford arsenal wet tumblers, they are amazing and cheap to run. I’ve got two
New fallower love this episode
How much would these run?
Given the times, lets see more stuff on ammo reloading. Specifically for beginners
Do they have an ammobot for a 650?
The projectiles were purple, please explain as I have never seen purple bullets. Great vid as usual!!!
Looks like frangible rounds.
I need help getting mine to work right!
Can you help me connect with JWB Brass? I have tried with no luck.
I really don't need one but I want one🤷🏾
How much would something like this cost
I mean it's cool and all but for $1500 and then even more for the upgraded switch I'll just take that money and buy some more reloading supplies and possibly some wolf gold plinking ammo. Makes sense though for those with that kind of extra cash.
NeraskaPrepper70 some folks can't pull the handle. Others reload enough to buy one so they don't risk repetitive stress injuries.
Ballpark how much would this whole set up cost??? Any help would be much appreciated thanks...

Charles Van Pelt Thanks, i'll look more into it when i'm able
I like it. And good video, but you say you're busy, and this saves time. How? You still have to be there. So how does it save time?
A R higher round count per minute
@@TheGunCollective The average person runs these machines at approx 500-600 rounds per minute, for safety, to inspect what is happening. That is the same speed as manually running it.
More more more
What's the cost
$6000
Roger's Better Bullets?
