Dillon Precision Super 1050 - Manual (Page 5)

How the Super 1050 Works
Stations 1 - 8 (counterclockwise)
toolhead and dies cut away for clarity
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 reservoir.
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.
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,

Station 3 - Here the case mouth is expand-
ed while a rod supports the case base for
swaging.
