Warranty Agreement The Dillon Super 1050 reloader has been designed as a commercial machine. Our expectation is that its life expectancy will be in excess of two million rounds of loaded ammunition. All Super 1050 machines are warranted for life from defects in material or workmanship, plus a one-year, 100% warranty against normal wear. All electrical/electronic components in Dillon equipment are covered by a one-year warranty.

How the Super 1050 Works Stations 1 - 8 (counterclockwise) toolhead and dies cut away for clarity Station 1 - The casefeed plunger inserts the case into the shellplate. Station 1: Empty cases are automatically inserted into the shellplate via the electric casefeeder. Station 7 - In this station, the bullet is seated to its proper depth. Station 3 - Here the case mouth is expanded while a rod supports the case base for swaging. Station 7: The bullet is seated to its proper depth at this station.
Super 1050 Assembly Your new Super 1050 has been assembled at the factory. All of the adjustments necessary to reload have already been made, in fact we’ve even adjusted the dies to reload the caliber you have chosen. However, before you can reload you must do some minor assembly. Due to variations in components, check all stations for proper settings before loading ammunition. It is absolutely necessary that you read the following instructions.
Clip Fig. 6 - Shown is the proper position of the power cable, clamp, and bin bracket. The casefeed mounting post assembly (#20641) is attached to the casefeed post studs (#13271) by the use of two post bolts (#13205). Attach the power cable and clamp and bin bracket (#12144) as shown in the schematic on page 30. Fig. 6 The casefeed bowl assembly needs to be placed on the casefeed post with the Dillon logo and the on/off switch facing you. Fig.
travel forward to the shellplate. Make sure that you repeat this several times to gain an understanding of the various functions of the machine before you start reloading. Fig. 13 Now plug in the casefeed motor and activate the switch. The casefeed plate should turn smoothly within the casefeed bowl. Assuming that all is well, proceed with components. Loading Components Fig. 12 - Shown is the proper location of the cartridge collection bin.
Fig. 16 - Be sure to tighten the lock ring when adjustments are completed. When you have determined that your adjustments are correct, tighten the lock ring (#14067). Fig. 16 Powder Bar Return Rod Assembly The purpose of the powder bar return rod is to return the powder bar to its closed position. Remove the blue cap from the powder die (#20320) and loosely clamp the powder measure in position.
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. Fig. 22 - When installing primers into the primer magazine, be sure the pick-up tube centers itself before pulling the clip.
will continue to run until the tube is full, at which point a micro-switch will temporarily stop the case flow. From this point the casefeeder will automatically fill the tube as you reload. If the casefeeder does not function properly or the cases do not fall base down, refer to the Trouble Shooting section of this manual. ready it for seating. If you count one second down, and one second up, you’ll have a good pace. 5. Remove the locator button (#20637*), extract the round and check the primer.
ple height adjustment to the seating stem may be necessary. Refer to a loading manual for proper loaded length (OAL). Cycle the handle again and check for crimp at Station 8. Refer to Trouble Shooting item 8 for adjustments if necessary. Add a bullet, cycle again. Your first loaded round should now be ejected into the collection bin. If all has gone well to this point you’ve got it made. Just keep adding bullets, watch your fingers so they don’t get caught and don’t hurry.
Swage Adjustments Use ONLY an unswaged military case for these adjustments. Fig. 31 - A cut-a-way view of a .45 ACP with the swage rod and the back-up rod properly adjusted in the swaging position. With the handle in the down position, screw the swage back-up expander down until it makes contact with the case bottom and holds it in place. Fig. 31 With the handle still in the down position, turn the swage rod up until it makes contact with the case bottom.
replace, the primer slide (#20318 - large or #20317 - small). Fig. 39 Fig. 37 - The four lock ring screws need only be loosened about four turns to remove the shellplate lock nut. Now remove the shellplate lock nut (#13425) by loosening the four locator tab screws (#13895) about four full turns. Fig. 37 Fig. 40 - A special screwdriver for the bushing has been included in your accessory bag.
Die Adjustments sure everything is properly located. With the handle in the down position, tighten the toolhead bolt with the above mentioned wrench. Station 2 - To install the size/decap die Warning: Never attempt to deprime live primers, an explosion may result. Move the toolhead down, by lowering the handle all the way down. Shellplate Removal Loosen the ejector tab screw (#13896) and swing the ejector tab (#13189) out of the way. Fig.
Fig. 49 - You don’t need any more expansion than what you see in this photograph. A properly expanded case should show a slight flare at the case mouth. Fig. 49 Fig. 51 - This photo shows the powder bar at the end of its travel. white cube must contact the powder measure body (see arrow FIG 51). Fig. 48 - As the toolhead continues down, it will reshape the case neck, shoulder and body. Again, move the toolhead down. The case is now sized. If the case has a spent primer, it will be deprimed.
Station 5 - Adjustment of the Powder Die/Powder Funnel Cont... Drop a case into the casefeed funnel and cycle the handle twice. The case should now be in the shellplate at Station 2. Move the handle down. Notice the resistance at the end of the down stroke. This is the resistance of the case in the sizing die. Raise the handle. The case will index to Station 3. Cycle the handle to advance the case to Station 4. Again, cycle the handle to prime the case and index it to Station 5. Cycle the handle.
schematic of the cartridge. For example, .38 Special lists a maximum OAL of 1.55" (Lyman Reloading Handbook). If you’re seating the bullet to the cannelure/crimping groove, the OAL should be well within the maximum OAL listed, however, use a set of dial calipers to check it. (Dial calipers are available from Dillon Precision). If the bullet you’re using doesn’t have a cannelure/crimping groove, refer to the specific type of bullet you’re using in the reloading manual.
defined line below the mouth of the case and the bulge below the line. This is not a proper crimp. This line is the direct result of the cartridge being over crimped. A line like this will only appear if the crimp die is adjusted down too far. Warning: Over crimping .45ACP, .38 Super, 9mm, etc., can actually cause the bullet to be loose in the case. Turn the swager in, using 1/4 turn increments until you achieve the proper swage. Secure the jam nut (#13682). Note: Do not over swage.
has an additional bend in it but can be used on both the Super 1050 and RL 1050 machines. NOTE: If you are using an indexer return spring from an RL 1050 spare parts kit, you will need to make an additional bend in the spring before installing it on the Super 1050. • The RL 1050 spent primer cup has been replaced with a larger, plastic spent primer cup and bracket. It is not interchangeable. 5.) Bent or broken shellplate (#12600*). Using RL 1050 toolheads and dies on the Super 1050...
case 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, slightly collapsing the primer pocket and not allowing 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.
Lubrication Operating circumstances will dictate the frequency of required lubrication. It is highly recommended that the Super 1050 be cleaned and lubed after every 10,000 rounds of operation. Use a high-grade, conventional wheel bearing grease – do not use oil.
Lube Points for the Super 1050 Crank Assembly With the handle in the rest position, on the left side of the machine, use a grease syringe to lube the bearing pin (#11009) located in the link arm (#11002). Then, cycle the handle down to the bottom stop. Again, using the grease syringe, lube the mainshaft pivot pin (#10994) on the left side of the machine via the access hole located 1.2" above the carrier cap (#11010). Use 30 weight motor oil on the mainshaft (#10999).
