Automated Dillon 650

I saw another one of these that had hydrolics and worked a bit faster. I'd rather have slow and steady then fast and sloppy.

Either way, too much green for me!
 
Cool contraption, what happens in the event of a clog? .357 case instead of .38, .22 case in a larger shell, or crimp that won't take the primer or something of that nature. Is there an emergency shutoff or auto shutoff that will shut the machine down?
 
It makes for an entertaining video, but I'd hate to see what happens when you feed in a 45acp case with a 9mm case stuck inside, or if a primer jams in the priming system. :)

There are also machines that can fret and strum a guitar, but I'd rather play mine myself...
 
I just thought the fabrication was clean. I have a 1050 with an electric auto drive that is also a little slower than I can run it manually. The only difference is that I can case gauge as they come off the machine cutting the process time in half.
I have a machine that sorts my brass so I don’t have those problems but I don’t remember ever having a 22 make it into my machine even when I did it by hand.
I’m not sure what he did for any fail safe devices but I have a clutch on mine and a delay relay so if the machine doesn’t complete a cycle in a given amount of time it shuts down. I also tied into the switches on the Dillon buzzers for cut offs
 
I'm looking at getting a PW for the 1050. I wish the speed was variable so I could match the rate of the bullet feeder. 1500rph would be acceptable.
