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 func-
tion properly or the cases do not fall
base down, refer to the Trouble
Shooting section of this manual. 
Pull the operating handle smoothly
to the bottom stop, then raise the han-
dle, a case has been fed to Station 1.
Cycle the handle again, strive to be
smooth in your operation.
The...

ple height adjustment to the seating
stem may be necessary. Refer to a load-
ing manual for proper loaded length
(OAL). Cycle the handle again and
check for crimp atStation 8. Refer to
Trouble Shooting item 8 for adjust-
ments 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

Swage Adjustments
Use ONLY an unswaged military
case for these adjustments.
With the handle in the down posi-
tion, 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. 
Raise the handle half-way and rotate
the swage rod a quarter turn. Now,
cycle the handle. Inspect the case and
when you achieve a completed swage
of the primer pocket,...

Now remove the shellplate lock
nut (#13425) by loosening the four
locator tab screws (#13895) about four
full turns.Fig. 37 
Loosen the ejector tab screw
(#13896) and swing the ejector tab
(#13189) out of the way. Fig. 38 Next,
slide the casefeed plunger (#13073*)
back and remove the shellplate. 
Rotate the primer slide stop (#13108)
90˚. This will allow you to remove, andreplace, the primer slide (#20318 - large
or #20317 - small).Fig. 39 
Next, remove the bushing (#13031 -

With the handle in the down position,
tighten the toolhead bolt with the
above mentioned wrench.
Shellplate Removal

(#13896) and swing the ejector tab
(#13189) out of the way. Fig. 38
Loosen the four locator tab screws
(#13895) about four full turns. Fig. 37
Use a toothbrush to remove any
powder that may be in the threads
before removing the lock ring.
Next remove the lock ring (#20311).
Now push the casefeed plunger back
(#13073*) and...

Again, move the toolhead down.
The case is now sized. If the case has a
spent primer, it will be deprimed.
Leave the toolhead in this position
with the case fully inserted in the die.
Fig. 48This will ensure that the die
remains in alignment when tightening
the lock ring.
Using a 1-1/8" wrench to turn the
lock ring and a 7/8" wrench to hold the
die body, tighten the lock ring.

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 can-
nelure/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 can-
nelure/crimping groove, refer to the
specific type of bullet you’re using in
the reloading manual. For example – if

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 crimp-
ing .45ACP, .38 Super, 9mm, etc., can
actually cause the bullet to be loose

an RL 1050 spare parts kit, you will
need to make an additional bend in
the spring before installing it on the
Super 1050.
