Anyone using a mark 7 press?

Anyway was back to the grind stone today loaded all my win 748 under 55gr in 223 (about 350 rounds) and then processed a freezer bag of random year lake city, im loving the loadmaster lol then again any AP press is nice after 8 or so years on a rcbs pardner press ��

Now imagine one of the APP deluxe presses, for that military brass.

Yeah i know i think an app will be my next press

By the way all my die sets are rcbs and redding but i must admit the lee dies are pretty decent. The massive decapping rod saved my bacon 2 times today when a berdan 223 case snuck into my random lake city stash, they just pushed the decaping rod up

Looked at the Mark 7... $4,000 entry cost (and up to $13,000 fully loaded) made me realize I would need to be in the manufacturing business to justify it. For a hobby reloader like myself, even the Dillon 1050/1100 was a little much considering the cost of setting one up for 5 calibers is $3,000+. So, I settled for the Dillon 750, which I am now in over $1500 for 4 calibers. Not sure I shouldn't have kept my RCBS Pro2000 and been happy for the couple thousand rounds a year I may load, but that is officially "water under the bridge" now.

I dont know of anyone locally.

I thought about getting one, but then realized my Dillons do all I need.

Well the mark 7 evolution (manual press) is "only" $3000 lol but even thats a grand over a dillon 1050. Just curious to see how people like them they seem to have nice features but like you said its for serious ammo production.

Well, Yes, $3,000 for a single caliber...when I configured it for 4 calibers, it was over $4,000.

Spent some time getting my new Henderson case trimmer dialed in.

Once I had it set up for a few different calibers, I ran through about 2,000 223 Ackley cases for my gas guns. When I was done my fingers didnt hurt and I didnt have to wear a glove to keep from getting blisters. And doing the final trim/chamfer on 300 Whisper brass wont suck now.

I really like my Giraud, but this is a better mouse trap.

Was curious as to why you sold the Giraud. I like mine, but as you mention you have to wear a glove when doing it and the fingers do get sore from holding the cases. I do need to pickup the 300 blk holder so I can start doing those on it instead of the RCBS trim pro.

Loaded about 300rds of 223 with 55gr over h4198 (I have some random powders in using up) cycles all the gas guns just fine
