Warranty AgreementThe Dillon Super 1050 reloader has been designed as a

commercial machine. Our expectation is that its lifeexpectancy will be in excess of two million rounds ofloaded ammunition. All Super 1050 machines are warrant-ed for life from defects in material or workmanship, plus aone-year, 100% warranty against normal wear. All electri-cal/electronic components in Dillon equipment are coveredby a one-year warranty.

Mandatory Safety MeasuresThe reloading of ammunition and the handling of com-

ponents (gun powder and primers) is inherently dangerous,indeed shooting firearms is inherently dangerous. Accidentscan and do occur, sometimes with disastrous results includ-ing, but not limited to, loss of vision, hearing or life. Theseaccidents are nondiscriminatory, they occur with both thenovice and the experienced reloader.

Dillon Precision Products has consciously designed theSuper 1050 with this in mind. We’ve shielded the primermagazine and machined clearance holes for the elimina-tion of powder and primer residue. In short, we have doneeverything we know how, to make the use of our machineas safe as possible.

We cannot however, guarantee your complete safety. Inorder to minimize your risk, use common sense whenreloading and follow these basic rules:

Never operate the machine without ear and eye protec-tion on. Call our customer service department at (800) 223-4570 for information on the wide variety of shooting/safetyglasses and hearing protection that Dillon has to offer. Orvisit our website at: www.dillonprecision.com• PAY ATTENTION: Load only when you can give yourcomplete attention to the loading process. Don’t watch tel-evision or try to carry on a conversation and load at thesame time. Watch the automatic systems operate and makesure they are functioning properly. If you are interrupted ormust leave and come back to your loading, always inspectthe cases at every station to insure that the proper opera-tions have been accomplished.• SMOKING: Do not smoke while reloading or allow any-one else to smoke in your reloading area. Do not allowopen flames in reloading area.• SAFETY DEVICES: Do not remove any safety devicesfrom your machine or modify your machine in any way.• MODIFICATIONS: Any modifications performed to yourmachine, or the addition of any unapproved equipmentfrom other manufacturers will void the warranty.• LEAD WARNING: Be sure to have proper ventilationwhile handling lead components or when shooting leadbullets. Lead is known to cause birth defects, other repro-ductive harm and cancer. Wash your hands thoroughly afterhandling anything made of lead.• LOADS AND LENGTHS: Avoid maximum loads and pres-sures at all times. Use only recommended loads from man-uals and information supplied by reliable component man-ufacturers and suppliers. Since Dillon Precision has no con-

trol over the components which may be used on theirequipment, no responsibility is implied or assumed forresults obtained through the use of any such components.

Seat bullets as close to maximum cartridge length aspossible. Under some conditions, seating bullets excessive-ly deep can raise pressures to unsafe levels. Refer to a reli-able loading manual for overall length (OAL).• QUALITY CHECKS: Every 50-100 rounds, perform peri-odic quality control checks on the ammunition being pro-duced. Check the amount of powder being dropped andprimer supply.• RELOADING AREA: Keep your components safelystored. Clear your work area of loose powder, primers andother flammables before loading.• COMPONENTS: Never have more than one type of pow-der in your reloading area at a time. The risk of a mix-up istoo great. Keep powder containers closed.

Be sure to inspect brass prior to reloading for flaws,cracks, splits or defects. Throw these cases away.

Keep components and ammunition out of reach of chil-dren.• BLACK POWDER: Do not use black powder or blackpowder substitutes in any Dillon powder measure. Loadingblack powder cartridges requires specialized loading equip-ment and techniques. Failure to do so can result in severeinjury or death.• PRIMERS: Never force primers. If they get stuck in theoperation of the machine, disassemble it and gently removethe obstruction.

Never attempt to clear primers that are stuck in eitherthe primer pickup tube or the primer magazine tube. Never,under any circumstances, insert any type of rod to attemptto force stuck primers out of these tubes. Trying to forceprimers out of the tube will cause the primers to explodecausing serious injury or even death.

If primers get stuck in a primer magazine or pickup tubeflood the tube with a penetrating oil (WD-40), throw thetube in the garbage and call us for a free replacement.

Never attempt to deprime live primers – eventually onewill go off. When it does it will detonate the others in thespent primer cup. Depriming live primers is the single mostdangerous thing you can do in reloading and can causegrave injury or death.• LOADED AMMUNITION: Properly label all of yourloaded ammunition (Date, Type of Bullet, Primer, Powder,Powder Charge, etc.).• BE PATIENT: Our loading equipment is conservativelyrated and you should have no trouble achieving the pub-lished rates with a smooth, steady hand. If something does-n’t seem right, stop, look and listen. If the problem or thesolution isn’t obvious, call us. The reloading bench is noplace to get into a hurry.• REMEMBER: If your machine does not perform to yourexpectations, or if you are having technical difficulties, giveus a call. Technical Support (800) 223-4570 or visit ourtroubleshooting section at: www.dillonprecision.com

make whatever adjustments to the diesyou feel necessary.

Reminder: There may be some varia-tion due to components.

Super 1050 AssemblyYour new Super 1050 has been

assembled at the factory. All of theadjustments necessary to reload havealready been made, in fact we’ve evenadjusted the dies to reload the caliberyou have chosen. However, beforeyou can reload you must do someminor assembly.

Due to variations in components,check all stations for proper settingsbefore loading ammunition. It isabsolutely necessary that you read thefollowing instructions.

If you get stuck on something that youdon’t understand, call (800) 223-4570for technical assistance.

Step 1: Mounting the Super 1050 Select a clear area on your reloading

bench. Be certain your bench is freefrom vibration and is strong enough tosupport your Super 1050’s mass andoperating force. If possible, attach yourbench to the wall using screws.

Remove the Super 1050 main framefrom the packaging and place it onyour selected area. The crank extension(#11061) should be to your right. Bringthe machine to the forward edge ofyour bench – be sure to allow clear-ance for operation of the handle. Markthe four mounting holes using the

machine as a template. Remove themachine and drill four 1/4” holesthrough the bench. Replace themachine and bolt securely. Fig. 1

Install the handle (#17071) as indicat-ed in the parts schematic. Secure inplace with the handle set screw(#13432). Fig. 2 You will note that thereare three different positions for mountingthe operating handle. Choose the onethat feels best for you. The longer thehandle, the less force required but thestroke is longer.

The toolhead (#20420) is held downon the main frame for shipping by theuse of plastic ties. Remove the ties whileholding the handle Fig 3.

Slowly move the handle up. This willmove the toolhead approximately threeinches to its “up” position. Note: If the

handle is not moving freely, carefullyinspect for shipping damage.

Install the six brass locator buttonsaround the shellplate (#12600*). Fig. 4

Step 2: Installing the Casefeed AssemblyUsing the screw provided (#13377)

install the bin bracket (#13238). Fig. 5

Install the bullet bin bracket(#12144) to the casefeed post (#20641)using the screw (#13685) as shown inthe schematic on page 30.

Screw the casefeed post studs(#13271) to the main frame (placethe washer provided on the bottompost only), tighten securely with anAllen wrench through the cross holeprovided.

The casefeed mounting post assem-bly (#20641) is attached to the case-feed post studs (#13271) by the use oftwo post bolts (#13205). Attach the

The casefeed bowl assembly needs

to be placed on the casefeed post withthe Dillon logo and the on/off switchfacing you.

The casefeed tube (#20533*) shouldnow be inserted into the casefeedadapter (#13654*) Fig. 7 Note thatthe tube is marked “up” on one end.Press this end into the tube clip(#13859) attached to the casefeedermotor housing Fig. 8. This assembly isnow complete.

Step 3: Installing the Powder MeasureRemove the blue cap from the powder

die (#20320) and loosely clamp thepowder measure in position. Fig. 9Install the powder measure return rod(#13960) through the 3/8” eyebolt(#13089) mounted on the left rear of themain frame. Fig. 10 Now attach the rodto the powder measure bellcrank usingthe clip. Fig. 10 Install the spring(#14033) and wing nut (#13799) on therod and screw the wing nut up until youfeel light tension on the spring. Tightenthe powder measure clamp screws(#14037).

Step 4: Installing the Spent Primer Cupand Bullet Bin

Install the spent primer cup (#16699)on the right side as shown on theschematic on page 27. Fig. 11

Step 5: Cycling the MachineAt this point your assembly should be

complete. Gently pull the operating han-dle towards you, make a full stroke tothe bottom and up again. The shellplateshould be indexing and the primer slide(#20318*) should function. The casefeedplunger (#13073*) should travel forwardto the shellplate. Make sure that yourepeat this several times to gain anunderstanding of the various functions ofthe machine before you start reloading.Fig. 13

Now plug in the casefeed motor andactivate the switch. The casefeed plateshould turn smoothly within the case-feed bowl.

Assuming that all is well, proceedwith components.

Loading ComponentsYour Super 1050 is equipped with a

cartridge activated powder measure thatwill dispense powder only when a car-tridge is in Station 5.

It is important to understand that theadjustable powder bar should reach theend of its travel at the same time thatthe handle reaches the bottom of its

stroke against the frame stop. Fig. 14To achieve this adjustment, the diebody must be screwed up or down asneeded.

The powder die has already beenadjusted at the factory. An empty casemust be placed in the shellplate atStation 5 in order to check this adjust-ment. Note that the case used to adjustthe powder measure die must already besized.

NOTE: If you are adjusting for astraight wall case, start your powder dieadjustment with the die obviously toohigh and work down. This will avoidover belling the case.

If you are adjusting a case with ashoulder, such as a .223, do not turn thedie down too far or the shoulder willbuckle.

Use a reloading manual to determinehow much powder you need for a par-ticular load and an accurate powderscale to determine the weight. Caution:

While you do not have to use a DillonPrecision powder scale, you should usea scale of equal quality. Do not usescales with plastic frames or “razorblade” pivots. Quality scales have jew-eled pivot points. Razor blade pivotscan dig into the frame of the scale andgive dangerously inaccurate readings.

Powder Measure AdjustmentsIn Station 5 we adjust the powder

measure. It works like this: screw thepowder die into the toolhead and insertthe pistol powder funnel expander or arifle powder funnel with the grooved endtoward the top of the powder die. Fig.15 The funnel should move freely in thedie, leaving a loose fit between the topof the die and the powder measure col-lar. This will enable you to adjust the dieto give you a bell on the mouth of yourpistol cases making it easier to start thebullet.

On rifle cases, the die should beadjusted so that the powder funnel willcontact the mouth of the case and thenfully actuate the powder bar. Theseadjustments are accomplished with asized case in the shellplate and alter-nately raising and lowing the operatinghandle while adjusting the powder die.

When properly adjusted, the powderbar will be moved to the end of its travelby the cartridge case Fig. 14.

When you have determined that youradjustments are correct, tighten the lockring (#14067). Fig. 16

Powder Bar Return Rod AssemblyThe purpose of the powder bar return

rod is to return the powder bar to itsclosed position.

Fig. 13 - Cycle the handle several times toobserve the various functions.

Fig. 14 - This photo shows the powder bar atthe end of its travel.

Fig. 15 - Note the difference between therifle expander (center) and the pistolexpander (right).

Super 1050, May 2007 5/21/07 12:00 PM Page 8

Remove the blue cap from the powderdie (#20320) and loosely clamp thepowder measure in position.

To install the powder bar return rod(#13960) remove the blue wing nut(#13799) and rod spring (#14033) fromthe rod, then insert the bottom endthrough the 3/8” eyebolt (#13089) that ismounted on the left rear of the mainframe.

Next, using your thumb and index fin-ger of your left hand, move the locklinkdown and align the hole with the slot onthe bellcrank. Then, insert the rodthrough the two holes and insert thereturn rod clip (#13929). Fig. 17

Install the spring (#14033) and wingnut (#13799) on the rod and screw thewing nut up until you feel light tensionon the spring. Fig. 18 Tighten the pow-der measure clamp screws (#14037).

You will notice an adjusting bolt on

the front of the powder bar. Counter-clockwise reduces the powder charge,clockwise increases the charge. Fig. 19

Your machine comes with two powderbars. Fig. 20 One large (#20063) andone small (#20062).

Index a sized and primed case underthe measure and operate the machine’shandle. Turning the powder bar adjust-ment bolt clockwise increases the pow-der charge – counterclockwise turnsdecreases the powder charge. By trialand error, determine the correct weightof your powder charge by using a pow-der scale. Fig. 19

When the correct powder chargehad been set, cycle several casesthrough the machine and check theload with a scale.

Primer MagazineSelect the proper size primer pick-up

tube and fill it by placing the plastic tipover loose primers and pressing down.

You will notice that the primer maga-zines and primer pick-up tubes have dif-ferent colored tips. They have been colorcoded to help you identify size moreeasily.

The color code is as follows:Blue Small Primer Magazine

OrificeRed Large Primer Magazine

OrificeYellow Small Primer Pick-up TubeGreen Large Primer Pick-up Tube

The shiny side of the primers shouldbe facing up. This is most easily accom-plished by use of a primer flip tray. Fig.21 This quality cast metal flip tray isavailable from Dillon Precision and is abetter choice than the smaller plastictrays which are difficult to use and havea tendency to warp.

Once you’ve filled the pick-up tube,make sure the little retaining clip is inplace at the top of the tube. Fig. 22Pivot the switch lever (#13864) awayfrom the Early Warning System housing

Fig. 17 - Install the return rod clip to securethe powder bar return rod. See the schemat-ic on page 31 for more details.

and invert the pick-up tube over theprimer shield cap (#13957). You willnotice the cap has a bevel to help youfunnel the primers in. Hold the tube inplace as shown in Fig. 22, pull theretaining pin and allow the primers todrop into the magazine. Pivot theswitch the lever back over the EarlyWarning System housing. Gently slidethe follower rod down through theswitch lever and into the primer maga-zine tube. When you are nearly out ofprimers, approximately three remaining,the follower will activate the buzzer.

The Electric CasefeederUse only clean cartridge cases that

have been inspected for any potentialproblems; split cases, rocks or smallercaliber cartridges that may be hidden inlarger caliber cartridges. Fig 23

Warning: Be sure that no loaded roundsare mixed with your empty cases. It ispossible to feed a blunt nosed cartridgelike a .38 Sp. WC into the shellplateupside down and explode it when it ishit by the decap pin.

Now fill the casefeed bowl with

approximately 500 pistol cases or about350 rifle cases. Fig 24

Your Super 1050 is now charged withcomponents and ready to go, but beforeyou start reloading, read the followingexplanation of the sequence of the eightreloading stations and the processes thatare done at each station.

Review: How the Super1050 Works

Stations 1 - 8 (counterclockwise)Station 1: Empty cases are automati-

cally inserted into the shellplate via theelectric casefeeder.

Station 2: Here the spent cartridgecases are resized and deprimed.

Station 3: This station is totallyunique. The case is supported from theinside and slightly expanded (not belled)while simultaneously a swager is driveninto the primer pocket to remove anycrimp.

Station 4: A new primer is installedat this station. The spring drivenprimer slide is extremely smooth. Thesteel shrouded primer magazine iscapped with an electronic EarlyWarning Device to let you know whenyou’re down to approximately threeprimers.

Station 5: Here the case is belled andpowder is dropped by the case-activatedpowder measure. It is extremely accurate

and will not drop powder unless a caseis present. Dillon Precision offers anoptional accessory to be utilized withthe automatic powder measure at thisstation – Dillon’s Low Powder Sensorprovides an audible and visual reminderwhen it’s time to refill the powder reser-voir.

Station 6: This station is open to allowfor case inspection.

Station 7: The bullet is seated to itsproper depth at this station.

Station 8: In this station, the bullet iscrimped into place. The cartridge is thenautomatically ejected into a collectionbin.

As stated earlier, your dies have beenadjusted at the factory. Before youchange anything, try it the way it is,once you thoroughly understand themachine’s operation, make whateveradjustments to the dies you feel neces-sary.

Reminder: There may be some varia-tion due to components.

To Begin ReloadingTurn on the switch on the front of the

casefeed motor housing. The casefeederplate should begin to turn. Cases willbegin to dispense, base down, into theclear plastic casefeed tube. The motorwill continue to run until the tube is full,at which point a micro-switch will tem-porarily stop the case flow.

From this point the casefeeder willautomatically fill the tube as you reload.If the casefeeder does not function prop-erly or the cases do not fall base down,refer to the Troubleshooting section ofthis manual.

Fig. 24 - The casefeed bowl will holdapproximately 500 pistol cases or 350 riflecases. Do not overload the casefeed bowl.

Fig. 23 - When loading, use only cleanedand inspected cartridge cases.

Station 1 - The casefeed plunger inserts thecase into the shellplate.

Fig. 25 - Dillon’s Low Powder Sensor givesan audible and visual warning when thepowder reservoir gets low.

Pull the operating handle smoothly tothe bottom stop, then raise the handle, acase has been fed to Station 1. Cycle thehandle again, strive to be smooth in youroperation.

The first case should be indexed toStation 2. Cycle the handle again.

It is not necessary to apply any forceon the upstroke of the handle. All youare doing on the upstroke is indexing theshellplate. Remember that priming isdone on the down stroke. A slow meas-ured upstroke gives you lots of time topick up the next bullet and ready it forseating. If you count one second down,and one second up, you’ll have a goodpace.

The first case should now be inStation 3 with a case in Stations 1 & 2

as well. Cycle the handle again. Thecase is swaged and expanded at Station3. Observe the swage operating part(#20314*), if the swage is proper, pro-ceed – if not see items 3 and 4 in theTroubleshooting section of this manual.Cycle the handle again and the case getsprimed at Station 4.

If the primer is not seated properly(too high or too deep) you will need toadjust the primer push rod (#12819).Clockwise turns of the primer push rodwill cause the primer to be seated deep-er while counterclockwise turns will seatthe primer higher.

The first case in the sequence shouldnow be primed and at Station 5.Remove the locator button (#20637*),extract the round and check the primer.If everything looks okay, replace thecase and button and proceed.However, if the primer is not seatedproperly (too high or too deep) you willneed to adjust the primer push rod(#12819). Clockwise turns of the primerpush rod will cause the primer to beseated deeper while counterclockwiseturns will seat the primer higher.

Cycle the handle again, the automaticpowder measure will drop the chargeyou’ve selected. Pistol casemouths willbe belled at this time. Look through theinspection hole in Station 6 – youshould be able to see your powdercharge in the case.

Cycle the handle again. Now, withyour left hand, place a bullet on thepowder-charged case at Station 7 andcycle the handle. Your bullet will beseated to its proper depth, if not, a sim-ple height adjustment to the seating stemmay be necessary. Refer to a loadingmanual for proper loaded length (OAL).

Cycle the handle again and check forcrimp at Station 8. Refer toTroubleshooting item 8 for adjustments ifnecessary. Add a bullet, cycle again.Your first loaded round should now beejected into the collection bin.

If all has gone well to this pointyou’ve got it made. Just keep adding bul-lets, watch your fingers so they don’t getcaught and don’t hurry. Just try to besmooth in your operation. The speed willcome naturally and you’ll be doing athousand rounds per hour before youeven realize it.

The following are some adjustmentsuggestions as well as Troubleshootinghints.

AdjustmentsCasefeeder

It may be necessary to readjust themicro-switch for different calibers.Cases may become lodged between themicro-switch and the tube wall. Theother extreme is the case failing to putenough pressure on the micro-switch toshut off the system causing it to contin-ue running and over flowing the tube.

Remove the two clutch screws(#13732), lock washer (#13813) andupper clutch (#13632) and the case-feed plate. Place the spacer on theshoulder of the lower clutch andreassemble – see the schematic onpage 31 for more details. The casefeedplate should now be approximately1/8” above the floor of the casefeedbowl. Note: Make sure the casefeedplate is centered in the bowl. Fig. 26

HandleThe operating handle is adjustable to

three different length settings Fig. 27.Choose the one most comfortable foryour operation. Loosen the set screw(#13432) then retighten when the handleis in the most comfortable position.

SwagerSwaging on the Super 1050 is a sim-

ple process and is necessary on all car-tridge cases as a means of uniformingthe entrance of the primer pocket. Fig.28 The swage rod (#20314 large or#20313 - small) is fully adjustable.

Swage Conversion andAdjustment Conversion – Fig. 29

Begin by removing the swage cover(#13064). Next remove the hitch pin(#13840) and slide out the clevis pin

(#13522). Remove the operating handle.Rotate the swage connecting rod a halfturn and remove it. This will allow youaccess to the swager. Pull the swagerdown and out of the machine. Fig. 29

Insert the new swager and reassem-ble.

Swage AdjustmentsUse ONLY an unswaged military case

for these adjustments.

With the handle in the down posi-tion, screw the swage back-upexpander down until it makes contactwith the case bottom and holds it inplace. Fig. 30

With the handle still in the down posi-tion, turn the swage rod up until itmakes contact with the case bottom.

Raise the handle halfway and rotatethe swage rod a quarter turn. Now, cyclethe handle. Inspect the case and whenyou achieve a completed swage of theprimer pocket, tighten the swage locknut (#14067).

A properly swaged pocket will showa rounded edge around the rim. Somemilitary cases (.223 & .308) start outwith three small dents around the base

Primer System Change OverInstructions

The Super 1050 has been shipped toyou with either the large or small primersystem installed. To change the systemfrom large to small or vise versa, followthese instructions:

Be sure all primers have beenremoved from the primer system. Thenremove the Early Warning System andthe knurled cap. Then remove the primermagazine (#22031 - large or #22030 -small) and replace it with the new sizemagazine. Be sure the key on the tip(#14003 - large or #14024 - small) is inthe slot and the magazine is all the waydown in place. Fig. 32

Pull the operating handle to its downposition.

Loosen the lever arm bracket screw(#14037) and slide the bracket assem-bly up four inches and lock it inplace. Fig. 33

Raise the operating handle, removethe two primer feed body screws(#13363) and lift off the primer feedbody assembly (#20773).

Remove the toolhead ratchet (#11688)by removing the bolt (#12486). Fig. 34

Remove the powder bar return rod(#13960) from the powder measure bellcranklock link assembly (#11234) by releasing thereturn rod clip (#13929). Fig. 35

Remove the casefeed tube (#20533*)and place it on your bench. Removethe toolhead. Fig. 36 For more infor-mation see the following section:TOOLHEAD REMOVAL.

Now remove the shellplate lock nut(#13425) by loosening the four locatortab screws (#13895) about four fullturns. Fig. 37

Loosen the ejector tab screw

(#13896) and swing the ejector tab(#13189) out of the way. Fig. 38 Next,slide the casefeed plunger (#13073*)back and remove the shellplate.

Rotate the primer slide stop (#13108)90˚. This will allow you to remove, andreplace, the primer slide (#20318 - largeor #20317 - small). Fig. 39

Next, remove the bushing (#13031 -large or #13222 - small); spring(#13858) and punch (#12849 - large or#13307 - small) and replace them withthe parts for your new primer size.Note that there is a specially designed

You should clean your machine atthis time. Fig. 41

Prior to installation, lube the base ofthe primer punch. Now adjust your newpunch (#12849 - large or #13307 -small) so that it is flush with the bushing(#13130 - large or #13222 - small) byturning set screw (#13226) up or down.If the primer punch is too low, dirt will

collect on top of it leaving imprints onyour primers. If it is too high it will bindthe slide. Note: You can use the slide fora guide. Slide it back and forth over thebushing to check your adjustments. Seethe schematic on page 29 or the trou-bleshooting section for additional infor-mation.

To return the lever arm bracket assem-bly to proper position, manually movethe primer slide underneath theshellplate. Pull the operating handledown. Loosen the bracket screw, slidethe assembly down until it touches thebottom of the primer slide slot in theframe. Back the bracket up about .010”,retighten bracket screw.

Remove the Primer Early Warningdevice.

Raise the primer slide lever assembly(#20488) and lock in place - see Fig. 34.

Obtain a 15/16” socket or wrench(not supplied) to remove the toolheadbolt (#13342) and washer (#13449).Fig. 43

Now remove the toolhead (#20420).Due to being spring loaded, there willbe some resistance. Wiggle the toolheadup and off while holding the handle.

After removing the toolhead, carefullylower the handle.

When reinstalling the toolhead bolt(#13342) turn it in only finger tight thencycle the handle up and down to make

sure everything is properly located. Withthe handle in the down position, tightenthe toolhead bolt with the above men-tioned wrench.

Shellplate RemovalLoosen the ejector tab screw

(#13896) and swing the ejector tab(#13189) out of the way. Fig. 38

Loosen the four locator tab screws(#13895) about four full turns. Fig. 37

Use a toothbrush to remove any pow-der that may be in the threads beforeremoving the lock ring.

Next remove the lock ring (#20311).Now push the casefeed plunger back(#13073*) and lift the shellplate off. Besure to lightly grease the bore of theshellplate when reinstalling it. Fig. 44

Rule of thumb: turn the lock ringdown until tight then back off one-eighthof a turn. Then tighten the four locatortab screws (#13895).

Casefeed Plunger ConversionWhen changing calibers it may be

necessary to replace the casefeedplunger (#13073*).

To do this, remove the clear casefeedtube (#20533*) and pull out the coloredcasefeed adapter (#13654*). The adapteris taped for shipping purposes.

Remove the two housing screws(#13815) and the casefeed adapter hous-ing (#11006).

Place your hand on the plunger whileremoving the roller bolt (#13333). Thiswill prevent the casefeed plunger andspring from jumping out of the machine.Fig. 45

Thoroughly clean the track and case-feed parts with a solvent. Now verylightly apply grease to the sides andinstall the proper size casefeed plunger(#13073*). Fig. 46 Remember to

grease the roller (#13498) and theroller track (Fig. 46) and Loctite thethreads on the roller bolt (#13333).

Install the casefeed housing and insertthe proper size adapter (#13654*). Thecasefeed tube (#20533*) should now beinserted into the casefeed adapter(#13654*). Note that the tube is marked“up” on one end. Press this end into thetube clip (#13859). See Troubleshootingsection for any adjustments.

Die AdjustmentsStation 2 - To install the size/decap die

Warning: Never attempt to deprimelive primers, an explosion may result.

Move the toolhead down, by loweringthe handle all the way down.

Screw the sizing die into Station 2.Continue to screw the die down until itjust touches the shellplate. Fig. 47

Tighten the die lock ring finger tight.Now move the toolhead up by raisingthe handle to its upright position.

Note: When loading .270 or .30-06you need to raise the decap assembly sothat the hitch pin clip is a minimum of1/8” above the silver lock ring as shownin Fig. 47.

Place a case in the casefeed funnel.Here, the case drops to the casefeedplunger.

Cycle the handle. The casefeed campushes the roller bushing back, droppingthe case into the slot of the plunger.

Cycle the handle. The case is insertedinto the shellplate.

Note: After raising the handle, insurethat you push the handle against its fullaft stop. This will insure that the

shellplate fully advanced to the nextstation.

Note: When priming, pushing thehandle against its stop, will insure thatthe primer is fully seated.

Again, move the toolhead down. Thecase is now sized. If the case has aspent primer, it will be deprimed.Leave the toolhead in this position withthe case fully inserted in the die. Fig.48 This will ensure that the dieremains in alignment when tighteningthe lock ring.

Using a 1" wrench to turn the lockring and a 7/8" wrench to hold the diebody, tighten the lock ring. Station 3 - Adjustment of the Expander

DieInstall the expander die (caliber

specific) at Station 3. Place a case inStation 2 and cycle the operating han-dle once (sending the case to Station3). Turn the expander die down untilyou feel it make contact with the caseand cycle the operating handle. Makeadjustments in one-quarter turn incre-ments until the desired expansion ofthe case mouth is achieved. Tightenthe die lock ring.

A properly expanded case shouldshow a slight flare at the case mouth.Fig. 49

Station 5 - Adjustment of the PowderDie/Powder Funnel

Note: Adjusting the powder die fora straight wall case is not the same asadjusting a powder die for a bottle-necked case. This is because straightwall cases are given a bell and bottle-necked cases are not given a bell.

For the powder bar to properly dis-pense a measured powder charge, thepowder bar must travel its full distance.To travel its full distance, the white cubemust contact the powder measure body(see arrow FIG 52).

Also the belling process does notbegin until after the powder bar has trav-

eled its full distance. The angled portionon the bottom of the powder funnel (Fig.53) is what bells the cartridge. Once thewhite cube has contacted the powdermeasure body the case is forced upwardagainst the tapered portion of the pow-der funnel producing a bell. The morethe powder die is adjusted down (clock-wise) the more the case will be belled.

Note: If the powder die is not adjusteddown far enough to cause the powderbar to travel its full distance the powdercharge will be erratic and the case willnot receive enough bell.

Station 5 - Adjustment of the PowderDie/Powder Funnel Cont...

Drop a case into the casefeed funneland cycle the handle twice. The caseshould now be in the shellplate atStation 2.

Move the handle down. Notice theresistance at the end of the down stroke.This is the resistance of the case in thesizing die. Raise the handle. The casewill index to Station 3.

Cycle the handle to advance the caseto Station 4. Again, cycle the handle toprime the case and index it to Station 5.

Cycle the handle.If the white cube has not traveled its

full distance, raise the toolhead justenough to pull the case off of the pow-der funnel (this will prevent theshellplate from indexing while youadjust the powder die). While holdingthe powder measure, turn the die down1/8 of a turn. Again lower the toolheadand observe the travel of the powderbar.

Repeat as needed until the powderbar travels its full distance, Fig. 52.

Once the powder bar travels fullyacross you should continue to adjustthe powder die for the desired amountof bell (turn the powder die 1/8 of aturn at a time). The desired amount bellis just enough to allow the bullet to sit

Fig. 51 - When properly adjusted, thecase mouth will go past the expandingline and the stem will contact the bottomof the case.

on the case mouth without falling offand to keep the case from shaving leadduring the seating process - see theillustration (above) example “B”.

Note: If you screw the die down toofar, the case will look like example "C"in the illustration (right). You must thendiscard this case, back the powder dieoff, by turning it counter clockwise, andcontinue with a new sized case.

You’ll soon learn to judge the correctamount of bell by simply looking at it. Inthe meantime, you might want to useyour dial calipers to check it. Twentythousandths of an inch greater (at themouth of the case) than its originaldiameter, should about do it.

Once you’ve achieved the desiredamount of bell – with the case in Station5, raise the toolhead. Run the lock ringdown hand tight.

Insure the bellcrank and the return rodbolt (in the frame) FIG 54 are aligned.Using a 5/32" Allen wrench, snug thecollar clamp screws.

While holding the powder measure inplace, snug the lock ring using a 1-1/8”wrench.

Station 7 - General Information onBullet Seating

The purpose of the seating die is toinsert the bullet into the case and to pushit down into the case the proper amount.

How far the bullet is pushed into thecase will determine the overall length(OAL). Several factors go into determin-ing the proper OAL – such as, the maxi-mum recommended OAL, listed in thereloading manual, and the type of bul-let being loaded. The type of bullet candetermine the OAL in one of two ways.

If the bullet has what is called a can-nelure, or crimping groove Fig. 55 &56, this will determine the proper OAL.If the bullet you’re using doesn’t have acannelure or a crimping groove, thenyou’ll need to refer to your reloadingmanual for the suggested OAL. The pur-pose of the cannelure and crimpinggroove is to secure the bullet by givingthe mouth of the case a place to go(without deforming the bullet) whenbeing crimped. When the bullet isproperly seated, the mouth of the car-tridge case should be near the top ofthe cannelure/crimping groove.

Refer to your reloading manual.Under the section specified for the cal-iber you’re loading, you’ll find aschematic of the cartridge. For example,.38 Special lists a maximum OAL of1.55" (Lyman Reloading Handbook). Ifyou’re seating the bullet to the can-nelure/crimping groove, the OAL shouldbe well within the maximum OAL listed,however, use a set of dial calipers tocheck it. (Dial calipers are available fromDillon Precision). If the bullet you’reusing doesn’t have a cannelure/crimping

groove, refer to the specific type of bul-let you’re using in the reloading manual.For example – if you’re loading a 158 gr..38 Sp. JHP and it doesn’t have a can-nelure/ crimping groove, use the suggest-ed OAL of 1.480 (Lyman ReloadingHandbook).Station 7 - Installation and Adjustment

of the Seating Die

Take the seating die from the die boxand screw it into Station 7. Screw thedie down until the bottom of the die isflush with the bottom of the toolhead.Note: At this point the die will not bescrewed down far enough to begin seat-

ing the bullet, but it will give you aplace to start.

Place a case (with a belled casemouth) into Station 7. Fig. 57

Place a bullet on the belled casemouth and lower the toolhead. Then,raise the toolhead just enough to inspectthe bullet without indexing theshellplate. If the bullet is not seated deepenough, screw the seating die down 1/2turn at a time. As a guide, one full turnmoves the die down about 70 thou-sandths of an inch, about the thicknessof a nickel. Again, cycle the machineand inspect the seating depth. Repeatthese steps as necessary until the correctoverall length is achieved. Use a dialcaliper or equivalent to measure theoverall length of the cartridge. Check theoverall length of the round against theinformation in your reloading manual.

Once you have obtained the properOAL, replace the cartridge into Station 7and lower the toolhead. Using a 1"wrench to turn the lock ring and a 7/8"wrench to hold the die body, snug thelock ring.

Note: If you ever load a cartridge thatyou are unhappy with, you can use aDillon bullet puller to reclaim your com-ponents.Station 8 - Installation and adjustment

of the Crimp DieScrew the crimp die into Station 8.

Screw it down until it is flush with thebottom of the toolhead. This is a goodstarting point for the crimp adjustment.

Place a cartridge with a properly seat-ed bullet into Station 8.

Lower the toolhead and continue to

screw the die down until it touches thecartridge. Fig. 58

Raise the toolhead and screw the diedown 1/8 of a turn, lower the toolhead.

Raise the toolhead halfway andinspect the cartridge. If the bell is stillpresent, or the desired amount of crimphas not been achieved, give the die a1/8 turn down and try again. Continuemaking small adjustments to your crimpdie until the desired amount of crimphas been achieved.

Once the adjustment is complete,place the case back into Station 8 andlower the toolhead. Using a 1" wrenchto turn the lock ring and a 7/8"wrench to hold the die body, snug thelock ring.

Note: When adjusting the crimp die itis important to know what to look for.Check that the crimp: Looks OK, allowsyour firearm to function consistently andthe bullet feels tight in the case.

The drawing of case #3 (above) is adepiction of a case that has been overcrimped by adjusting the crimp diedown (clockwise) too far. Note thedefined line below the mouth of the caseand the bulge below the line. This is nota proper crimp. This line is the directresult of the cartridge being overcrimped. A line like this will onlyappear if the crimp die is adjusteddown too far. Warning: Over crimping.45ACP, .38 Super, 9mm, etc., canactually cause the bullet to be loosein the case.

To begin, place a military case (sized,decapped and unswaged) into Station 3.

Screw the back-up rod (#12749*)down two turns into the toolhead(#20420). Pull the handle.

Using a wrench turn the back-up rod

(#12749*) down until it hits the insidebottom of the case. Note: Do not forcethe expander as this will damage thecase and the shellplate. Now secure thelock ring (#14062). Raise the handle.

Screw the eyebolt (#13245) all theway into the swager. Grease the clevispin (#13522) heavily.

Put the swager into position. Push theclevis pin through the connecting rodand eyebolt and secure with the hitchpin (#13840). Replace the swage cover(#13064).

With the military case still inStation 3, pull the operating handledown with your left hand. Now turnthe swager upward with your righthand until it meets resistance. Withyour left hand raise the operating han-dle about 10 inches. With your righthand turn the swager up a 1/4 turn.Cycle the handle down.

Raise the handle just enough toremove the case and inspect the primerpocket to see the amount of swagingbeing done. The swager should leave aradiused entrance on the primer pock-et. Fig. 59

Turn the swager in, using 1/4 turnincrements until you achieve the prop-er swage. Secure the jam nut (#13682).Note: Do not over swage. This condi-tion will cause damage to theshellplate (#12600*).

RL1050 vs. Super 1050Not all parts are the same but some

are still interchangeable. We have madechanges to several parts used on theSuper 1050 that are not interchangeablewith the RL1050 machine.• The Super 1050 primer lever assembly

(#21145) has a longer arm to accom-modate the higher toolhead travel. Thisis not available for RL 1050 machines.Primer feed body (#20773) will fit bothmachines but again the primer leverassembly will not.

• The Super 1050 index lever has been

changed considerably and will notindex properly on RL 1050 machines.

• The Super 1050 mainshaft, mainshaftpivot pin, crankshaft assembly, andbearings are completely different.

• The casefeed body has been modifiedto allow long cases to feed throughbut is interchangeable between theSuper 1050 and RL 1050 machines.

• Any RL 1050 toolhead assembly willfit the Super 1050 machine, but thetoolhead ratchet (#11686, RL 1050)must be replaced with ratchet(#11688, Super 1050).

• The toolhead spring, bushing andsleeve, as a set, are longer to accom-modate the increased toolhead travelon the Super 1050 but they willwork on the RL 1050.

• The RL 1050 spent primer cup hasbeen replaced with a larger, plasticspent primer cup and bracket. It is notinterchangeable.

Using RL 1050 toolheads anddies on the Super 1050...

If you want to interchange an RL 1050toolhead already set for a caliber youwant to load onto the Super 1050 youwill need to check for the followingclearances.

1. Remove the toolhead assemblyfrom the Super 1050.

2. Replace the shellplate with theshellplate for the caliber you intend toload with.

3. Remove the toolhead spring and setthe toolhead onto the mainshaft whileholding the handle at about mid-travelfor proper alignment into the frame.Next, install the washer and toolheadbolt.

4. Slowly lower the handle and lookto see if any die comes in contact withthe shellplate. Readjust dies as needed.

5. Place one unprimed case in theswage station and again slowly lower thehandle. Readjust the expander andswage rod as needed.

6. Once you have reset the dies to themachine, remove the toolhead and rein-stall the toolhead spring and completethe rest of the conversion and set up toreload. Reinstall the toolhead.

Troubleshooting .308 Winchester and related calibers

with similar case length (.243 and/or.22-250) also lend themselves to reload-

ing on this new machine. No specialchanges are necessary to the die set.

Hard or Incomplete Indexing1.) Wrong size locator buttons.

2.) Index pawl bent or worn (#13705).

3.) Shellplate lock ring adjusted tootightly (#20311).

4.) Dirt under the shellplate (#12600*).

5.) Bent or broken shellplate (#12600*).

6.) Ejector tab (#13189) interfering withthe shellplate - see above photo.

Station 1: Case Insertion Problems1.) Wrong size case insert plunger(#13073*).

2.) Wrong case insert adapter (#13654*).

3.) Shellplate lock ring not adjusted tightenough.

5.) Handle being moved too rapidly onupstroke.

6.) Bent or broken roller bolt (#13333).

7.) Dirt or media in casefeed track.

Station 2: Resizing and Decapping Problems

With .30-06 and .270 calibers it isimportant to note that the seater andcrimp dies must be shortened for clear-ance reasons. They are available and areincluded with the respective conversionkits.

1.) Crushed cases:a.) Shellplate lock ring too loose or

too tight. b.) Not enough radius on the die. Use

2.) Bending or breaking decapping pins:a.) Wrong shellplate (#12600*).b.) Slightly bent decapping assembly

or pin.c.) Berdan primed cases.d.) Dirt in shellplate pockets.e.) Handle being moved too rapidly

on the down stroke.f.) Rocks or other foreign objects in

cases.Station 3: Primer Pocket Swaging

Problems1.) Primers smearing or crushing:

a.) Swage back-up rod not down farenough (#13332 or #13348).

b.) Swage rod not adjusted highenough (#20314 - large or #20313 -small).

Station 4: Priming Problems

The above photo shows the rockerarm set screw (#13226) being adjusted.The Super 1050 comes from the factorywith this set screw properly adjusted, butover time it can move. When the rockerarm set screw is out of adjustment, it candent primers and/or cause the primerslide to stick. When properly adjusted,the primer punch (#12849 large -#13307 small) will be flush with theplatform surface – see arrow above.1.) Crushed primers:

a.) Swage rod (#20314 - large or#20313 - small) not adjusted correctly,dirty or worn out.

b.) Dirt in the shellplate (#12600*).c.) Ringed primer. When a spent

primer has been pierced by the decap-ping pin leaving a ring of metal from theprimer in the pocket.

d.) Primer station retain tab (#12930)not adjusted correctly.

e.) Worn primer punch (#12849).f.) The bench that the machine is

mounted on is not rigid enough. This canbe corrected by affixing a board to boththe wall and your bench.

g.) Hot-loaded ammo that has beenfired several times and the base of thecase has been flattened out.

2.) High primers:a.) Adjust the primer push rod

(#12819).b.) On .223 cases the swage back-up

rod (#13332) is down too far, slightlycollapsing the primer pocket and notallowing the primer to seat fully.

c.) Loose shellplate (#12600*).d.) Erratic handle motion.e.) Do not remove the rubber piece on

the primer slide.

3.) Smeared primers - see Station 3:Primer Pocket Swaging - item 1

4.) Locator tab:a.) When adjusting the priming sta-

tion locator tab, it should be set asclose to the case as possible withouttouching it. Be sure the cases in theshellplate rotate freely past the tab.Change primer magazine tips every20,000 rounds. Note: Move the handledown, bringing the toolhead down.Move the locator tab in to the case inthe priming station.

Station 5. Powder and Case MouthBelling Problems

1.) Crushing cases:a.) Wrong size or missing locator

buttons.

2.) Spilling powder:a.) Slamming or going too fast with

the operating handle (#17071).b.) Stick or pencil-lead type powders

bridging on the case mouth in the pow-der funnel (#13005). See conversionchart.

c.) Check powder bar adjustment.

3.) Erratic belling:a.) Variation in case length. Divide

cases by brand.b.) Handle not moving all the way

down on each stroke. Note: Try setting abullet on the case mouth in Station 6.

4.) Erratic powder charges:a.) Powder bar not moving full length

of its travel. Turn the powder die downuntil it does.

Station 7: Bullet Seating Problems1.) Erratic seating depth of the bullet:

a.) Build up of lead shaving and/orlube in the seater or crimp dies.

b.) Bullets having erratic dimension(length and/or the ogive).

c.) Use the proper seating stem for thetype of bullet being used.

d.) Variations in case types and/or lots– sort brass.

e.) Refer to a loading manual for prop-er loaded length (OAL) and additionalinformation.

Station 8: Crimping Problems1.) Erratic crimping:

a.) Length of cartridge cases erratic,probably due to mixed brands of brass.

b.) Worn out or improperly made die,use Dillon dies whenever possible.

2.) Loose bullet:a.) Too much taper crimp. Note, this

condition also ruins accuracy.b. Wrong expander (#12749*).c.) Thin cases.

MaintenanceLoctite

Loctite should be used followingadjustments to or replacement of allthreaded screws. Please note that Loctiteshould be applied to threaded portionsonly and should be of a non-permanenttype. Blue Loctite #242 is recommended.

SwageClean the swage by pulling the operat-

ing handle down and use a small brushto clean the tip. Every 10,000 rounds,remove the swage rod (#20314 - largeor #20313 - small). and clean, lightlygrease and replace. Note: Do not greasethe tip of the swage where it contacts theprimer pocket.

LubricationOperating circumstances will dictate

the frequency of required lubrication. Itis highly recommended that the Super1050 be cleaned and lubed after every10,000 rounds of operation.

Use a high-grade, conventional wheelbearing grease – do not use oil.

Lubrication Points:

• Casefeed Plunger (#13073*), lube thesides and bottom.

• Casefeed Plunger Roller (#13498) andBolt (#13333)

• Tappet (#12995)• Rocker Arm (#13058), cam surfaces

and hole.• Pivot Bolt (#13296)• Primer Punch Base (#12849 - large or

#13307 - small)

• Lube the Indexing Lever Cam surface(#10064) and Index Lever ShoulderBolt (#13276). With the handle in therest position, you will see the IndexRoller (#10996) come into contactwith the Lever Cam surface. TheIndex Roller (#10996) also requiresperiodic lubrication.

• Alignment Pins (#12972 & #13515located under the toolhead)

• Cam Guide Bolt (#12486) and itsmated slot

• Toolhead Bore (#20420 - lightly toavoid rusting and/or freezing up)

• Mainshaft Lubrication – Use only 30weight motor oil. DO NOT use apenetrating lubricant such as WD-40,Breakfree, etc…

• Swage Connecting Rod (#13417) andClevis Pin (#13522)

• Shellplate lock ring (#20311), bottomsurface to shellplate face.

• Shellplate center hole. It’s easiest tolubricate the shellplate center holewhen changing from one caliber toanother.We recommend that you use a droplet

of Blue Loctite on the threads of the fol-lowing bolts prior to reinstalling:#13333, #13296, and #13276 (see pho-tos and schematics).

Lube Points for the Super 1050Crank Assembly

With the handle in the rest position,on the left side of the machine, use agrease syringe to lube the bearing pin(#11009) located in the link arm(#11063). Then, cycle the handle downto the bottom stop.

Again, using the grease syringe, lubethe mainshaft pivot pin (#10994) onthe left side of the machine via theaccess hole located 1.2" above the car-rier cap (#11010).

Use 30 weight motor oil on the main-

shaft (#10999).Towards the back of the machine,

lube the indexing lever cam surface(#11064) and index lever shoulderbolt (#13276).

When it is time to lube the roller bear-ings (#11008) in the frame and crank-shaft, first remove the swage rod assem-bly, swage connecting rod, and operatinghandle. On the left side of the machine,use a 5/32" Allen wrench to remove thescrew (#13685). Slide the carrier cap(#11010) out of its bore and lube theleft-hand side roller bearing (#11008)and carrier cap. Next, slide the crank-

shaft (#11061) out of the frame from theright side of the machine BUT NOMORE THAN 3/4". Using a greasesyringe, dispense some grease onto theright-hand side roller bearing (#11008).Next, lube the crankshaft surface(#11061). Then, reinsert the crankshaftfully into the frame. Reinstall the carriercap (#11010). Blue Loctite must be usedon the threads before installation, tight-en. Finally, reassemble the swage com-ponent and operating handle back ontothe frame. Lube the swage connectingrod (#13417) and clevis pin (#13522).
