Autodrives

In addition to a reloading press, you may want to consider the following:

  • Case Feeder
  • Bullet Feeder
  • Dies
  • Sensors which will monitor the various functions that the press will perform

The Mark 7® Autodrives are not caliber specific: they will work with the calibers available for your press.

The autodrives use a belt to drive the crank and ram of the press. The Revolution® is direct drive meaning the motor shaft connects directly to the crank and ram to run the press.

The Mark 7® Revolution®

No special tools are needed, but a good Allen wrench set is recommended. It will take about an 1 hour to 90 minutes to get the press set up* meaning the press is physically set up but not ready to load on: that will take another 1 to 2 hours. The necessary steps are:

  1. Install the sensors
  2. Set up and adjust the bullet feeder and case feeder
  3. Set dies
  4. Set the sensors
  5. Set powder measure charge, etc...

In all, you should expect to spend 3+ hours to install the press and all sensors.

The ease and time required to change calibers depends on both your primer size and level of experience.  Small calibers can take as little as 30 minutes or less with all necessary accessories. Small to large caliber or large to small caliber changes could take up to an hour depending on the number of pieces changed.
