and invert the pick-up tube over the
primer shield cap (#13957). You will
notice the cap has a bevel to help you
funnel the primers in. Hold the tube in
place as shown in
Fig. 22, pull the
retaining pin and allow the primers to
drop into the magazine. Pivot the
switch the lever back over the Early
Warning System housing. Gently slide
the follower rod down through the
switch lever and into the primer maga-
zine tube. When you are nearly out of
primers, approximately three remaining,
the follower will activate the buzzer.
The Electric Casefeeder
Use only clean cartridge cases that
have been inspected for any potential
problems; split cases, rocks or smaller
caliber cartridges that may be hidden in
larger caliber cartridges. Fig 23
Warning: Be sure that no loaded rounds
are mixed with your empty cases. It is
possible to feed a blunt nosed cartridge
like a .38 Sp. WC into the shellplate
upside down and explode it when it is
hit by the decap pin.
Now fill the casefeed bowl with
approximately 500 pistol cases or about
350 rifle cases.

Your Super 1050 is now charged with
components and ready to go, but before
you start reloading, read the following
explanation of the sequence of the eight
reloading stations and the processes that
are done at each station.
Review: How the Super
1050 Works
Stations 1 - 8 (counterclockwise)
Station 1: Empty cases are automati-
cally inserted into the shellplate via the
electric casefeeder.
Station 2: Here the spent cartridge
cases are resized and deprimed.
Station 3: This station is totally
unique. The case is supported from the
inside and slightly expanded (not belled)
while simultaneously a swager is driven
into the primer pocket to remove any
crimp.
Station 4: A new primer is installed
at this station. The spring driven
primer slide is extremely smooth. The
steel shrouded primer magazine is
capped with an electronic Early
Warning Device to let you know when
you’re down to approximately three
primers.
Station 5: Here the case is belled and
powder is dropped by the case-activated
powder measure. It is extremely accurate
and will not drop powder unless a case
is present. Dillon Precision offers an
optional accessory to be utilized with
the automatic powder measure at this
station – Dillon’s Low Powder Sensor
provides an audible and visual reminder
when it’s time to refill the powder reser-
voir.
Station 6: This station is open to allow
for case inspection.
Station 7: The bullet is seated to its
proper depth at this station.
Station 8: In this station, the bullet is
crimped into place. The cartridge is then
automatically ejected into a collection
bin.
As stated earlier, your dies have been
adjusted at the factory. Before you
change anything, try it the way it is,
once you thoroughly understand the
machine’s operation, make whatever
adjustments to the dies you feel neces-
sary.
Reminder: There may be some varia-
tion due to components.
To Begin Reloading
Turn on the switch on the front of the
casefeed motor housing. The casefeeder
plate should begin to turn. Cases will
begin to dispense, base down, into the
clear plastic casefeed tube. The motor
will 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 will
automatically 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 of
this manual.
Fig. 24 - The casefeed bowl will hold
approximately 500 pistol cases or 350 rifle
cases. Do not overload the casefeed bowl.
Fig. 23 - When loading, use only cleaned
and inspected cartridge cases.
Station 1 - The casefeed plunger inserts the
case into the shellplate.
Fig. 25 - Dillon’s Low Powder Sensor gives
an audible and visual warning when the
powder reservoir gets low.
