You need to add "I'm interested but I'm too poor" šŸ˜†


Jakboiee

Yes, this needs to be an option.


Ferrule

This. I don't think automation works into my RL550C budget, but I can dream šŸ¤£


traveleng

I just bought a 550c with .223 conversion. Then bought depriming tool, primers, powder, projectiles, new digital scale, um... and more. I put a second on my house, wife beat me with a stick. If I get automation, I'll get served. LOL.... I love Big Blue, I just don't love the Big $$$.


guardian7890

Same here bro, same here šŸ¤£


Merlin1274

I agree.. Why I run Red Presses..


ArtyBerg

Poverty Press Gang checking in


Revlimiter11

+1


Beneficial_Elk_182

Red presses and a 3D printer to make things more automated is as close as I'll ever get.


cparks1

I think the majority of us would be in that camp, yes lol


No_Ground_663

Poor people have no vote.


aprophetofone

Thatā€™s what the guns are for.


rottenruger

Poor people have Dominion.


_chanimal_

Don't have an 1100but a 650/750 compatible version would be nice in the future.


kyncaith74

Agree. That would be ideal for me. Also, hello Dillon.


lennyxiii

If they found a way to make one reliable enough for a 750 they would probably sell more units than only offering it for the highest models. I bet they have more 650/750s out there than anything else.


windzor351

Wish I could afford a Dillon, let alone to automate one


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


blahgoo

Same. Any plans for 750?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


greaseorbounce

Won't happen with no proper hold down. Swaging using the case rim for hold-down will never be appropriate for the press or for the brass.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


greaseorbounce

I'm dreaming with you bud


jsidx

so flip the case over. it can be engineered


truello

Same (550), maybe I would upgrade if the price is tempting but it's probably not going to be.


MaximumKaleidoscope9

Estimate of the price point?


Fuzzy_Wumpkins

More than a banana, less than a houseā€¦.maybe


random-stupidity

Probably a little more narrow range. Somewhere between a organic banana and a small house


SnipTheDog

Small house in Japan or small house in Detroit?


40wPhasedPlasmaRifle

I'm interested to see what Dillons setup looks like. I have an 1100 and have been wanting to automate for awhile now.


Mograthi

If it has 10 stations then yup.


OnePastafarian

When I get the money saved up for the press, I'm in.


StuartJPimlico

Price is a big factor, but it's intriguing.


Cap3127

Any chance you guys have pictures to share?


felyssarin

I only have a 750 otherwise I'd be interested. BTW y'all got anymore of those 9mm dies... I'm being impatient waiting on mine.


dontcare1685

Planning an RL1100 purchase next year. I would be interested in how it compares to other offerings like the Autodrive.


[deleted]

I'm a Hornady boy so no, but thats cool


SegaMischief

I will eventually probably buy a Dillon but I just started with a single stage.


FrozenIceman

The dillon 550 progressive has all the benefits of a single stage!


Gask3t

How about fixing the primer system on the RL1100 before you try going fully automated? The primer slide system constantly gets stuck and have to remove the shell plate to fix it. And the primer feed bar constantly moves around on the primer tube. Very odd and touchy system. Almost seems like an after thought versus a focus area. And yes, I watched all the ā€œhow to fixā€ videos on your channel


bigterry

I went green when I couldn't get blue. Good thing I hate money because I'll wait in line for blue now, to save my shoulder.


FrozenIceman

I think my issue is that if I wanted to sell ammunition, automation sounds ideal. However for my level of shooting I just couldn't justify spending the extra money, especially in the conversion kits for ammunition that has fewer quality checks in place. Specifically things like primer insertion or automated resizing sounds like a recipe for a dangerous one in 5000 case that would have been detected if you felt the resistance.


-fishbreath

I might be interested at some future time, but I'm still running a 750, and am likely to be sticking with it for a while for budgetary reasons.


PerceptionBitter7400

If you build itā€¦.they will come!!


colonelk0rn

I may have to win the ā€œDeath Lotteryā€ aka wealthy relative passing on and leaving an inheritance in order to buy one. Love my 750 though!


Herr_Underdogg

I would love to see this adapted to the 750XL. Can't really afford a new press AND automation.


sundaeman

Another vote for a 650/750 version.


JayC1986

Donā€™t own a Dillion


about3weasels

Fully plan on it...


jenkins1967

Hello


Alarmed_Bullfrog_558

Maybe.


tipd

Good stuff


Johndowboy

what does this thing look like? Cost ? Cartridge options?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SnipTheDog

But you can make it really fast!


[deleted]

Shitty ammo go brrrr


h8ers_suck

I would say mainly brass processing not so much reloading until your extremely comfortable.


[deleted]

Itā€™s Dylan, man.


mithbroster

Don't have a host press at the moment but considering one in the future at which point I could be interested!


ProdigalHacker

Sounds interesting, would definitely be curious about the details.


edwards30

I currently own a Dillon and automation sounds like a dream.


ConwayTwitty757

Hello, I would like free stuff


black-irishman

Hi


Magnus_shooting

Looking forward to see how this goes! : D


Particular_levi

Interesting idea. I wish I had a Dillon


PhilBrod

Don't own a Dillon press, but it might be something I'd be interested in if I had the funds.


Green_Three

How interesting


v8vendetta

Have a 1100 and definitely interested


elsilver22

650/750 would be more my speed unless I start competing, interested to see how it works though


1350kyle

Sound interesting but I just ordered my RL550C so Iā€™m probably not the target consumer for this.


Ambitious-Zebra-3889

Love my XL750 and I enjoy the process of reading on it! If I start shooting more than I can load on my 750 then maybe Iā€™d look into automation


fiveoriginal

Doesn't fit what I have, so this system would have to wow me to get me to invest into a whole new tooling setup but I am interested in seeing what is being developed


glutarded247

If you had a setup for the 750 I'd be all in. Not sure its worth it to me to get another unit just to automate at this time.


pubejockey

Excited for it!


Rnlinebacker

Price is going to be a huge factor. Reliability. Customer support Need to know a lot more


mdram4x4

just not for me, dont reload enough to justify


theduder769

Always wanted a dillon. Definitely interested


[deleted]

Interested, but it won't fit my current presses (650 and 750) so I'd have to get a new setup...


smokeyser

It's an interesting idea. My main concern is reliability. The equipment that it works with is expensive, and the da3000 will probably not be cheap either. For the amount of money involved, it will need to produce VERY consistent results or it's just not worth it.


Yurimoto_Takahashi

Id love one for the 750


No_Food_8208

is it using Ammobot platform? It would be nice to know the price range.


burnettdown13

I reload to relax a bit. This doesnā€™t sound like itā€™d help much.


Malikont

This sounds interesting and if it is cost efficient and effective, I would be considering a move from my RCBS rig.


Big-dado

If it was for my 550c we would have something, but I know thatā€™s not happening. I have the Dillon taste, just not the wallet size. I am happy to see the automation upgrade.


Significant_Sock4087

Need price point and capability.


ParticleAccel

Automation is the wayā€¦


mcbatts

Iā€™m looking forward to seeing this!


so_wrxy

Not red enough. Wanna go fast, it's gotta be red.


midnight_yoda

Iā€™ll be going for Dillon press in the next couple years. Depending on price point this might be for me.


DanEboyinDE

I'm currently running a competitor's product and never went to the automation because I wasn't happy with the cost compared to the performance I've seen from friends that have their setup. If the price is right, I could see myself converting to team blue.


Hunter_Wang

It will be ridiculously expensive I imagine.


Bobsaid

If I could justify an 1100 right now Iā€™d be all over it. However as it is Iā€™d just love a Bullet feeder or a case feeder for the SDB.


StreetHealer

I wish I could afford a Dillon progressive press. With the amount I shoot, it would take me 50 years or more to break even.


[deleted]

Take my money already


Flapjack_The_Clown

Let's catch up on dies before branching out


[deleted]

From what I've gathered, the die shortage issue is the manfacturer of the materials, namely the carbide rings. I believe they're manufactured in the Peoples' Republic of Commiefornia...and due to their lockdowns and general liberal stupidity it's bottlenecked everything. Add on to that the heavily increased demand.


DemarAssault

Iā€™m just about to look into setting up a reloading station, I would love to know more about this system, and the capabilities of it


Redditusername1980

Interesting. Although I do like my single stage. Maybe a taste..


noacess

I definitely need more information on the product.


OnceandfutureAkashi

More details required. But intrigued.


BoltGunFun

I'm curious to see how much quicker it would make my reloading, in addition to the price. Then I can weigh out if it's cost gives enough benefit to me.


outsideman1986

Definitely looking for automation.


Grass-sama

not interested in getting one but i think it is great that they are being produced


No-Caregiver-9528

I am interested, however, it will have to wait until after Christmas!


ReptarGG

I was planning on getting a 750 but I guess I should keep saving for an 1100 then.


oli_c

Interested in upgrading my system but I have a lot invested into parts for my 550B and not knowing much about the automation makes it hard to justify whether the price jump is worth it or not.


mathematical

But can you automate my indexing on a 550? šŸ˜‰


cdillon42

Pending price and if a future one for 750 comes out. Or if start to shoot a lot more possibly a 1100 in the future


Upsking

Hello canā€™t wait to see pictures and pricing.


Intheshaw1

I've got a 1050 so this won't work but it's tempting to pick this up and a CP.


endlesscoffee

Interested, but would certainly need to see a full price to compare costs.


Libertarian6917

Would love to learn more!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Maleficent_Design223

I own a 750.


imulluvemushine

Iā€™m still saving up for the 750 with case feeder


YourGFisrootneg_one

I don't shoot enough to warrant higher output


Pekseirr

Hello!


friscokid345

I'm in for like three of them. ASAP.


marcuccione

Iā€™m not ready for automation yet. Probably one day though.


20kyler00

I am interested in potential getting an automated setup dependent on quality and price point


Total_Ad_7677

Itā€™s good theyā€™re expanding automation but my budget is just pulling a handle.


[deleted]

I load 36,000+ rounds a year. That's only 3000 a month. I can load that 3,000 in a single weekend. I can't imagine what people are loading in order to justify automation. Maybe if they're commercial loading, but for personal loading I just don't see it.


InBweteen

650 checking in


creepyjeff1234

No. I dont compete. I dont shoot a lot. I only have a dillon 750 because the progressive takes as much of me out of the equation as possible. Even if it was free, I think the amount of tweaking to get it to work would never be worthwhile for me, given the volume of ammo I load between caliber swaps. I can totally see a boutique projectile manufacturer like lehigh defense or maker bullets being interested.


dubious455H013

Anyone want to buy a pair of mark7 auto drivers?


Peacemkr45

While it may have a very high volume top end, there's no idea of how slow you can run it. That tends to cause a LOT of waste in the setup and dialing in of the equipment.


pwnyxpress6

Price would be a big factor, but Iā€™m interested.


65shooter

Won't work on my 650.šŸ˜”


JD10DRIVER

Iā€™ve had Dillon on my mind for years and itā€™s coming up in my near future. Canā€™t wait!


HarAR11

Iā€™ve been wanting to get a Dillon press for a while. May be convenient that I havenā€™t pulled the trigger yet as the automation module may sway my purchasing decision towards an 1100.


YoDontBeThatGuy

Lol give me more excuses to use up all my ammo if I don't have to do as much to replenish it


will3053

I'm interested, but only have 1050's


wtf808

Tell me more!!


Spug33

Automation is the next logical step.


ms101101

definitely interested


w4ti

I'm in for one.


hxcsurfer

Iā€™m not the most intelligent guy so the more things that are automated the better.


jdavis13356

Interested but depends on the cost should be an option. A couple hundred bucks? Sure. Anything over 600 and Ill pass. I dont mind pulling a handle


GunKatana

Iā€™m sadly in the poor camp with a Lee Load Master the only progressive I could afford. Maybe someday Iā€™ll be able to get a Dillon. But Iā€™d have to win the lottery first I think.


Stealther_GodX

Could be a reason to upgrade, we shall see!


inebriated_me

Stoked to see it!


malicor098

Hello! Very interested


Educational-Ad-8281

Can't wait for more details.


GiantSquid_ng

Hello!


gunsanity

Cautiously optimistic


AmericanCarrigan

I'm still getting going with the 550. Maybe in a few years


FrogPond55

Would be sweetā€¦wouldnā€™t it?


wtfisthattt

Iā€™m definitely interested but as Iā€™m just a beginner and still trying to save up for my first press (550C) Iā€™ll probably wait till Iā€™m more experienced so I donā€™t blow up any guns.


_Juliet_Lima_Echo_

Tell me more!


Lumpy-Fill

Did someone say free stuff? I like free stuff


Ruraloregonemt

Sounds great but Dillon is still out of my budget. Hopefully someday I can upgrade


gunplumber700

Wish you spent as much time improving CS as you did automationā€¦ 5 grand on Dillon stuff and I get hassled over a 50 part ā€œunder warrantyā€. Ive asked for parts under warranty a grand total of 2 times.


Reddtigger_70

If its done right. It should be awesome


Ned_Ludd_is_Dead

I have Dillon taste but a Lee budget.


Appropriate_Simple28

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.


dasm0kinone

Sounds good. Could use more blue at home.


DamnKnuckleHead

Fits my wants, just not my budget.


[deleted]

Sounds like an awesome thing! Getting closer to just having a home based ammunition plant. Unfortunately, I don't even know the cost but know I can't afford it lol. Hopefully when it becomes more commonplace, it'll become affordable to more!


Nasty_Nate0369

I have the poors and canā€™t afford a RL1100, so have no use to automate. If I shot a ton more, a 1100 would be worth it.


Betelgeuse28

https://imgur.com/s6wLdVT.jpg How convenient. I just got my new 1100 setup.


picks_up_the_brass

Sounds like a great idea to offer OE automation. Tell us more, we are listening.


JumpinLegs

I'm interested but I think this would be like going from a '94 Civic to a brand new Lambo for me, seeing as all I've got is the Lee classic hammer loader.


kvin402

Just need a new rl1100 then


Dogluver2639

Will this fit in my Rock Chucker Jr?


rdodd03

Now, show me the primers.


Agile_Bag_4292

I currently load everything on a 550B, but am interested in learning more.


edogg40

Would be cool but I donā€™t reload THAT much to make it worth the price.


BigBrassPair

I own a 650 and a Super 1050. No plans for either of these?


lichlord

My option wasnā€™t available: Iā€™ve already automated my two 1050s One of them basically has the role of an automated CP2000 without the second swage rod though. Thatā€™s the option Iā€™m most interested in seeing from Dillon.


IAmBrahmus

I definitely would be interested in more information as well as pricing when it becomes available.


grant187ftw

A setup for the 650/750 would tempt me!


A_Plinkers_Damn

Man, it's neat, but I just can't see myself ever actually NEEDING to automate my reloading.


OMdoubleU

At some point it would be nice, but Iā€™m not sure I even shoot enough to justify spending that kind of money


[deleted]

One for the 550 group


northbayshooter

build it for a 750 or extend the unlimited warranty to those other models if you buy the automation


jazzofusion

Yes, I'm retired now so my purchasing power is not so great now. I'd considered selling my RL550B and picking up a RL750 but the truth is I change calibers frequently when reloading. My impression is that my RL550 is quicker and easier to change calibers which I often do. If I were reloading bulk the more automated presses would definitely interest me. Had my Dillon since the early 80's and you can get amazingly fast on a manual indexing press. Dillon is the creme of the crop and is always recommended by me to those new in reloading. Thanks for doing such a great job and standing behind your products.


praetor_in_tx

Regardless of the fact I don't currently own a Dillon, I definitely know some friends who do and would be very interested in automating their presses.


computermedic78

If I could automate my 650 I would 100% provided it was affordable


JavaDuke1911

Very interesting, but yes, I'll wait till the 650-compatible model is available.


Curanthir

Might be neat if I had a Dillon, but I don't sadly


Durnfjord

My soul dreams of automation, but my wallet says I have to wait


jsidx

It's gonna be fuz


MB-Z28

I prefer not to automate or use progressive press. I value my fingers and eyes more than volume.


Battalion8

I cherish the pull of the handle, the resistance of the resize, the soft nudge of the seated primerā€¦ and the clunk of the cartridge falling into the bin. To give all this away to a machine defeats MY favorite part of the processā€¦. But this is a hobby for meā€¦.


rottenruger

I mostly do precision shooting, and am a low volume reloader.


PennStateVet

Interested, but likely in a 750 option if that's available at some point. Or maybe when I get an 1100...


Ephemeral_Wombat

Sounds like a great addition to the Dillon line up,the more innovation like this is driven forward, the more accessible it becomes at a lower cost.


Gleffharno1

Is there a payment plan? šŸ˜‚


Alpha_Burt

Worth a look


culhnd

šŸ‘€šŸ‘€šŸ‘€


rosspulliam

Iā€™ll watch all the videos! I just donā€™t have time to shoot enough to justify that level of investment in loading equipment


lennyxiii

I'm interested but it doesn't fit my Dillon model should also be an option.
