All Mark Presses Compared! APEX 10, Revolution, TITAN

This video provides a comprehensive guide to setting up and operating the Mark 7 Revolution reloading press. It covers unboxing, component installation, initial power-up, calibration, and functional checks. The process includes detailed steps for integrating the case feeder, bullet feeder, digital powder measure, and other sensors. The guide also walks through the initial loading process, emphasizing safety, sensor activation, and speed adjustments for optimal performance and quality.

This guide details the installation of the Mark 7 XPRIME priming system upgrade for the Apex 10 reloading press. The XPRIME brings features from the Mark 7 Revolution to the Apex 10, including a rotary orientation bowl and ramp feed system for primers. The installation involves removing existing components, attaching the new ramp and unit, and reassembling the press. The system integrates a control box and can utilize sensors like 'primer sense' when paired with an Auto Drive. The upgrade is presented as a significant enhancement for pro-sumer and boutique ammunition manufacturers seeking increased efficiency and reliability in their priming process.

This video from Shot Show 2018 covers Mark 7 Reloading's product line, focusing on their automated reloading presses. It details the high-capacity Revolution machine for commercial processing, the Evolution Pro for automated drive systems without auto-priming, and the Evolution for a more basic automated setup. The upcoming automated priming system, capable of holding 300-500 primers and usable with the Evolution series, is also highlighted.

This video introduces two new reloading presses from Lyman Mark 7: the Genesis and the Titan. The Genesis is designed as an out-of-the-box automated loading solution for consumers, featuring independent servo motor controls and a variable tool head stroke for optimized pistol and rifle reloading speeds. The Titan is a commercial-grade machine offering extreme versatility, capable of loading calibers from .380 ACP up to .338 Lapua Magnum on a single press.

This video from SHOT Show 2020 introduces Lyman's Mark 7 reloading presses, highlighting their integration of automation and software for increased efficiency and error reduction. The Mark 7 Evolution is presented as an entry-level progressive press, while the Titan and Titan XL models offer advanced automation, including automatic primer feeding and statistical tracking. The Titan XL is noted for its capability to reload large rifle cartridges up to .338 Lapua.

This video explores the benefits of reloading ammunition, focusing on how custom recipes can significantly improve shooting accuracy and reduce recoil. The speaker highlights the efficiency and time-saving aspects of automated presses, specifically the Mark 7 Revolution and the adaptable Apex 10. The discussion covers the features of these presses, their cost, and the advantages for competitive shooters and entrepreneurs.

This video details the comprehensive manufacturing process of brass rifle casings by Peterson Cartridge. It covers the transformation of raw brass cups through multiple drawing, annealing, washing, heading, trimming, and tapering stages. The process emphasizes precision, quality control through extensive automated and manual inspection, and specialized treatments like neck re-annealing and anti-tarnish coating to ensure match-grade performance.

This guide details essential brass preparation steps beyond basic decapping and sizing for improved reloading accuracy. It covers cleaning, primer pocket uniforming, neck chamfering and deburring, and neck brushing. The video emphasizes that even new brass can benefit from these processes to ensure consistent bullet seating and optimal performance. The presenter, F-class John from Ultimate Reloader, highlights chamfering and deburring as critical steps that should not be skipped, regardless of time constraints.

This video debunks the myth that solid copper bullets require extremely high velocities for effective hunting performance. Through ballistics gel testing and analysis of 7 PRC loads using Barnes TTSX and LRX bullets, Gavin Gear demonstrates excellent expansion and weight retention across a wide velocity range, including lower velocities equivalent to longer ranges. The testing highlights the versatility and effectiveness of modern monolithic copper projectiles for various hunting scenarios and legal requirements.

This video details extreme pressure testing of the 6mm ARC cartridge using both a bolt-action rifle and an AR-15 platform. The experiment pushes the limits of Alpha Munitions brass with 8208 XBR powder, achieving velocities exceeding factory specifications and even 6 Creedmoor. The testing culminates in destructive attempts using a fast-burning pistol powder in an AR-15, demonstrating the significant forces involved and the potential for catastrophic failure. The presenter, Gavin Gear, emphasizes that these tests are for research only and should not be replicated due to extreme danger.
