Dillon Precision Square Deal 'B' - Manual (Page 11)

pick up the primers, shiny side up as shown in Fig. 16.
This tube will hold approximately 100 primers.
You will notice that the primer magazines and primer
pick-up tubes have different colored tips. They have been
color coded to help you identify size more easily.
The color code is as follows:
Blue Small Primer Magazine Orifice
Red Large Primer Magazine Orifice
Yellow Small Primer Pick-up Tube
Green Large Primer Pick-up Tube
Primers are much easier to pick up if you use a primer
flip tray. A quality metal tray is available from Dillon
Precision.
Never forget that primers are potentially dangerous.
Never hit them or attempt to force them.
Primer Early Warning System Installation
(See page 4 for assistance.) Install the battery and the
battery cover (#13857) in the system’s main body. Slide
the Early Warning System Assembly down over the
knurled cap on your primer magazine and lightly tighten
the clamp screw.
Pivot the switch lever (#13864) away from the Early
Warning System housing to fill the primer magazine with
primers.
Invert the primer pick up tube over the knurled cap
and pull the primer retaining clip (#14040 – See Fig. 17.)
The primers should now fall smoothly into the magazine.
Pivot the switch lever back over the Early Warning System
housing. Gently slide the follower rod (#13707) down
through the switch lever, the knurled cap and into the
primer magazine tube until the follower rod touches the
primers.
You are now ready to reload. When you are nearly out
of primers (approximately three remaining) the follower
rod will activate the buzzer. Never attempt to remove the
primer magazine shield, it is there for your protection.
Your primer system should now be ready. Let’s move on to
Station 3.
Station 3: This is an easy one. All we do is seat the
bullet to its proper depth in the cartridge case. This depth
was adjusted at the factory for the bullet type on the
sample cartridge.
We give you a choice of bullet seating stems, use the
one closest to the type of bullet you are using.
The depth of bullet seating may be adjusted simply by
screwing the seating stem in or out. The adjustment is
held in place by a layer of Delrin beneath the toolhead.
Station 4: Another easy one. This station removes the
bell and crimps the bullet in place. Once again this
adjustment has been performed by Dillon.
More or less crimp can be achieved simply by
screwing the crimp adjustment screw (#13908) in or out.
Check your reloading manual for crimp dimensions.
Load ‘em up
Okay now that you understand the purpose of all of
the Square Deal “B” stations, we are ready to reload.
Begin as follows:
1.) Place a clean, empty case in Station 1 and cycle
the handle, don’t forget to press forward firmly to seat the
primer in Station 2. Work slowly.
2.) Place another empty case in Station 1, cycle the
handle. Work slowly and carefully, watch the powder bar
function and be sure it travels fully to the left each time. If
it doesn’t, turn the powder die (#13865) 1/8 turn
clockwise and try again.
3.) Carefully place a bullet on top of the cartridge case
at Station 3. Insert a new empty case at Station 1, cycle
the handle.
4.) From this point on, place a bullet on the case at
Station 3 with your left hand. Insert a case at Station 1
with your right hand and cycle the handle. Each time you
cycle the machine a finished round will be ejected into
the cartridge collection bin. (See Fig. 18 next page)
