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 collec-
tion 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,
make whatever adjustments to the dies
you feel necessary.
Reminder: There may be some varia-
tion due to components.
