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: Anew primer is installed
at this...

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. 
If you get stuck on something that
you don’t understand,...

The casefeed mounting post assem-
bly (#20641) is attached to the case-
feed post studs (#13271) by the use of
two post bolts (#13205). Attach the
power cable and clamp and bin brack-
et (#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. 
The casefeed tube (#13761) should
now be inserted into the casefeed
adapter (#13654*) Fig. 7Note that
the tube is marked “up” on one end.

Hook the bullet bin (#13756) and the
collection bin (#13484) on to their
respective brackets. Fig. 12
Step 5: Cycling the Machine
At this point your assembly should
be complete. Gently pull the operating
handle towards you, make a full stroke
to the bottom and up again. The
shellplate should be indexing and the
primer slide (#20318*) should function.
The casefeed plunger (#13073*) shouldtravel forward to the shellplate. Make
sure that you repeat this several times
to gain an understanding of the various...

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 pow-
der die (#20320) and loosely clamp the
powder measure in position. 
To install the powder bar return rod
(#13960) remove the blue wing nut
(#13799) and rod spring (#14033) from
the rod, then insert the bottom end
through the 3/8” eyebolt (#13089)...

Once you’ve filled the pick-up tube,
make sure the little retaining clip is in
place at the top of the tube.    Fig. 22
Pivot the switch lever (#13864) away
from the Early Warning System hous-
ing 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...
