[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Should I get a Mark 7 Autodrive for 750

Posted: 1/21/2021 2:46:41 PM EDT

Would it be dumb to get one of these just because I think its cool? I reload for 8 calibers and have bullet feeding setup already. I don't shoot that much to be honest. I like how much technology is in it, Im a big geek. I maybe reload 500 rounds per caliber before switching. But something like this might keep me entertained.

If you can afford it, why not?

I personally would not mess with that, unless I wanted to make tens of thousands of rounds often. Pulling a handle ain't a big deal to me, and I am not trying to make a small business selling ammunition.

I’d spend the money to upgrade to a 1050/1100 before I automated a 750.

I wouldn’t upgrade to a 1050 and I wouldn’t upgrade to the auto-drive loading for your intended volume.

Why complicate things?

I'd love to have one but I only load .40 and I'm lazy. I'd rather shoot than reload.

If you're going to auto drive a press you're way better off doing it to a 1050/1100. While the 750 is a great press the lack of a primer pocket swager really sucks when you run into brass with undersized or crimped primer pockets. The 1050 or 1100 solves that issues and runs much better.

Auto drives are a pain in the ass when they aren't working properly.

Thanks everyone for the Feedback

I'll hold off for now, I need to stop watching the videos lol. I haven't upgraded to the 1050 yet do to the cost of the conversion kits/quick changes since I know I don't load enough of one caliber and to switch calibers many times for that press. I like to just have a single stage and progressive press around.

Rightfully so for not getting a 1050. The 650 and now 750 is made for you - and me. Some day I should add an 1100 for 9mm but I load so many pistol calibers the 650 work incredibly well. I can load 500 rounds in one sitting very easily.
