Picked up a Super1050 today

[sierra1911]

Stopped by the indoor range after lunch and they had a barely used 1050 for sale. Told me 'another old guy died'.

Have all the presses I need but couldn't resist. It came with a spare parts kit, two extra powder measures (three total), a low powder sensor, a bullet tray, hex key holder, a cover, a plastic roller handle, 45 ACP dies, some primer pickup tubes, 500 Winchester small pistol primers, and a 2' x 3' stainless top reloading table.

They told me I could have $100 off the $800 price tag if I bought it today. It's set up for 45 ACP and since that's my favorite pistol caliber, it looked like an OK deal. Now I have to download a manual and learn how it works.

I'll figure out how to upload a photo tomorrow, but it looks exactly like every other 1050.

Congratulations on a great score.
Unfortunate for the guy that passed but we all share that eventual fate.

you got one hell of a deal. I have been looking for a long time and cant find one for under 1700.00 . if I have to pay that I will just buy a new one 1900.00. don't tell the wife.

Keep an eye on eBay, One sold last week for $1425 and $110 shipping. So $1535 total.

Congrats sierra1911, here is a link to Dillon's manual for it.

how do you keep the brass in the hopper? LOL

It was right side up on both my phone and computer display. No idea why it loaded upside down.

[Drew P]

My phone does that too. Super annoying. Sometimes if you edit the photo in any way, even if just rotating it and rotating back, it will prevent this. I’m using iPhone.

I have had this happen. For future reference, if you see this happen, load the pic in Preview (if you are lucky enough to use a Mac), or whatever Windoze uses to mess w/ photos, turn the photo upside down and Save. Then reload the pic and turn it rightsize up, then Save again. The pic will can then be posted rightsize up by editing and replacing the photo in your message.

And good score. Care for it like you paid $1900 for it.

I love my Super 1050's. My reloading room has never been that clean or organized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rancher1913]

I picked one up at a gun show for just a little over a thousand. got it home and found a problem with it "kicking" at the last part of the up stroke, it was bad enough that it would toss powder out of the brass. after watching a bunch of videos and hearing that this was a problem that lots of them had, I ordered the bearing plate and the nylon detent ball, after some fine adjustments it is smooth as silk now but it added about 200 bucks to the cost.

[M-Tecs]

Not sure what all you did for upgrades but the thrust bearing and detent ball can be had for $12.95 here and they are worth the money.

Nice!

Not wanting a progressive press I have no experience with anything Dillion.......except for The Blue Press magazine!

I've been keeping track of 1050 sales for about 5 years now, and since January, at least 5 have sold on ebay for $1000 or less.

There is some huge downward pressure right now from Mark 7 reloding's machines being on the market and 1050 users dumping their old machines.

Likewise, 1050s are much more prevalent in places like Craigslist and local ads.

WOOOHOOO!! Never been a better time to scoop up a 1050 for a good price.

Same for when the RL1100 actually hits the streets.

I sure hope so. From 2012 to 2017 or so, 1050s for less than $1300 were pretty rare and took a lot of work to find and buy. Ebay 1050s were normally in the 1400-1600 range.

In the last year I've bought 3 1050s for under 1000, and they all came with multiple tool heads and parts/etc.

Ultimately, in 10 years or so when I retire, I'd really like to have 10 to 12 1050s. That'll be a lot easier if they're readily available for +-50% or less of the retail price.
