Now, when something breaks I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I WISH HE WOULD RE-THINK THAT AND START SHIPPING PARTS FOR 1050'S AT NO COST TO ME..................ONLY MY OPINION.

I too have a 1050, bought it used 7 years ago. Think I may have spent $60 to replace parts that were missing or broken. That press has reloaded countless numbers of cartridges and never broken anything in 7 years. It's a tank!
Reality is it will load 1200 rounds an hour. I'm sure it's capable of more then that but my arm gets tired long before the press hits maximum speed.
The only parts that I believe can be broken are the powder feed, at least that's where I've had problems on a 550 and 650. When it happens I'll tell them it's for my 650.
Sure I have to pay for parts because it's a commercial press. But $60 worth in 7 years, that ain't bad.
I've enjoyed the 1050 so much that I kick myself for buying the 650. I paid $900 for the 1050. May have paid $550 for the 650, then the case feeder, bullet trays, strong mount and handle. Total price in the 650 is probably close to $700. Shoot, all those extras are standard on the 1050.
