Best Way To Make .300 Whisper Brass From .223 Hands Down!!!
 

I found this on youtube. This guy has got it goin on! Only prob is now I want one! but where can I get a "trim die" to use with that Dillon rapid trim:machinegu????

Looks a lot like my set-up only I have a PW motor on mine and I use a universal decapping die to ensure the primer crimp gets taken care of.

CH4D makes the trim die. $50-60 if I remember.

Depends a little on what reloader you are using. On my Dillon 550, the tool head is too thick for a cut down Dillon 308 trim die to suck chips out. Same for a C-H die. They may work on some single presses. ADillon 7.62x39 Rapid Trim will allow room on a 550 tool head to suck chips out. The 7.62x39 die needs to be shortened for a little to trim the whisper to right length too.

How???
 

What modifications are needed to get a 1050 shaft to spin around like that?

Looking at the video, I don't see the main shaft (holding the die head) moving other than up and down. The cases appear to be being indexed via movement of the shell plate as per normal with the 1050. (1050 is a GREAT press if you're loading ammo which does not require the accuracy/consistency of weighted charges.)

I am not talking about the main vertical shaft I meant the horizontal shaft that normally has the handle attached. The shaft it's self looks to be different and the cam linkages that attach it to the main shaft must be different too. I would like to know how he modified that one as it would make automating a 1050 much easier.

There is two different versions of the 1050. The RL-1050 and the Super 1050.

PW makes a power unit which is what I have.

The Ponsness Warren Auto-Drive simulates the normal puling of the handle with a link system; the press in the video, is modified so the shaft turns a full revolution for each cycle. This would make it much easier to automate because you would not need a link shaft like the PW uses.

Only if you have a RL1050. The way Dillon redid the bellcrank linkage on the Super 1050, the type of motor in the video wont work.

The PW motor will work on either 1050.
