Does it use ladder-logic, or is it a visual graphic system? I doubt a PLC would be code-driven for instructions. I've only worked with Allen-Bradley systems.

I've seen PLCs that could be programmed with a C-like language but they cost more than you'd want to spend for reloading elephant dung.

I put a huge Akro bin in place of the original catch bin. Now it holds up to 650 rounds before I need to stop and empty it.

This is a gravity pet feeder. As you can see, now it's full of gun food. Holds about 1500 .40S&W projectiles, but that's just a guesstimate. Could be 1200, could be 1800, I didn't count.

worth it!!!
I use the primer chute for the 650 & wonder why it's not std. equipt.

A ton of great ideas here... Thanks guys!

I just went through the intermittent primer feed on my 550. Polished everything up and was working like a charm.

Anyone have tips, tricks and mods for a super 1050? Had mine just over a year and have loaded about 5oo rounds of 223, 1k 40 and 2k or so 9mm.

Been a year since I posted in this thread but this is a cheap mod that works great.

Stick a magnet on the side of the case feed clamp and it will catch steel cases and stop the collator.

Shut off the collator, lower the magnet/case into the tube, snap out the tube and lift the case out with the magnet. Snap tube back in place and turn collator back on.

This works great for fat fingers and manipulating the brass locator pins. Used a plastic coffee can lid, scissors and a 1/8" drill bit.

Since I moved for the third time in 5 years I just now got my 550 back up and running. I've done nothing but BE's as it should be mods but man I like the led And tabs for the buttons. And I ordered the Arredondo Powder knob today as well.
