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.
Using RL 1050 toolheads and
dies on the Super 1050...
If you want to interchange an RL
1050 toolhead already set for a caliber
you want to load onto the Super 1050
you will need to check for the following
clearances.
1. Remove the toolhead assembly
from the Super 1050.
2. Replace the shellplate with the
shellplate for the caliber you intend to
load with.
3. Remove the toolhead spring and
set the toolhead onto the mainshaft
while holding the handle at about mid-
travel for proper alignment into the
frame. Next, install the washer and
toolhead bolt.
4. Slowly lower the handle and look
to see if any die comes in contact with
the shellplate. Readjust dies as needed.
5. Place one unprimed case in the
swage station and again slowly lower
the handle. Readjust the expander and
swage rod as needed.
6. Once you have reset the dies to the
machine, remove the toolhead and rein-
stall the toolhead spring and complete
the rest of the conversion and set up to
reload. Reinstall the toolhead.
Trouble Shooting
.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 special
changes are necessary to the die set.
Hard or Incomplete Indexing
1.) Wrong size locator buttons
(#20637*).
2.) Index pawl bent or worn (#13705).
3.) Shellplate lock ring adjusted too
tightly (#20311).
4.) Dirt under the shellplate (#12600*).
5.) Bent or broken shellplate (#12600*).
6.) Ejector tab (#13189) interfering with
the shellplate - see above photo.
Station 1: Case Insertion Problems
1.) Wrong size case insert plunger
(#13073*).
2.) Wrong case insert adapter (#13654*).
3.) Shellplate lock ring not adjusted
tight enough.
4.) Dirt in the shellplate (#12600*) pock-
ets or damaged shellplate.
5.) Handle being moved too rapidly on
upstroke.
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 is
important to note that the seater and
crimp dies must be shortened for clear-
ance reasons. They are available and
are included with the respective con-
version kits.
1.) Crushed cases:
a.) Shellplate lock ring too loose or
too tight.
b.) Not enough radius on the die.
Use Dillon dies whenever possible.
c.) Wrong size or missing locator but-
tons.
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
Problems
1.) Primers smearing or crushing:
a.) Swage back-up rod not down far
enough (#13332 or #13348).
b.) Swage rod not adjusted high
enough (#20314 - large or #20313 -
small).
Station 4: Priming Problems
The above photo shows the rocker
arm set screw (#13226) being adjusted.
The Super 1050 comes from the factory
with this set screw properly adjusted,
but over time it can move. When the
rocker arm set screw is out of adjust-
ment, it can dent primers and/or cause
the primer slide to stick. When proper-
ly adjusted, the primer punch (#12849
large - #13307 small) will be flush with
the platform 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
the primer in the pocket.
d.) Primer station locator button
(#20637*) not adjusted correctly.
e.) Worn primer punch (#12849).
f.) The bench that the machine is
mounted on is not rigid enough. This
can be corrected by affixing a board to
both the wall and your bench.
g.) Hot-loaded ammo that has been
fired several times and the base of the
20
When reinstalling the ejector tab (#13189) it
is vital that it is not set too low or it will
interfere with the shellplate.
