Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. To All: I have finally solved my primer feeding issue. After taking the primer column on an off a number of times. The last time I noticed the column was loose and I tightened down and it started malfunctioning. I then loosened it and it started behaving. i then put two pieces of .002 shim stock underneath the base and tightened the column down. I ceased having problems. I discovered the solution by making a mistake. stupid simple!
  2. I can’t be the first. I am using a Dillon 1050 Super, Loading .223. The issue is that the case feed plunger pushes the cartridge into the casefeed plate. Occasionally ( 1 in 40) a cartridge gets jammed into the white adapter grove. I think, when this happens it is because the mouth of the lower cartridge catches on the base of the cartridge above and forces the upper cartridge to jam into the adapter grove. Before I start modifying things I was hoping some has encountered this issue before.
  3. Using a Dillon 1050 Super. Made 1300 rounds. Issue: on the average, one in 50 rounds of .223 has primer issues, such as crushed, distorted were the skirt has been smeared, no primer, the crushed primer falls out on the bench and one detonation. I have made .223 cutaways so that I can see the swaging ram enter the primer pocket I also purchased a primer pocket gauge. Using crimped military 223 rounds, the pockets will not accept the gauge probe, after swaging the go gauge fully enters the primer pocket. I have used two different brands of primers, Winchester SRP and CCI’s 450. Same issue with each. The follower in the primer tube does not always fall when a primer is taken from the stack in the tube. I took the primer tube out and ran q-tips with alcohol thru the tube. Very little residue was seen. I have noticed that the guide pin to the right of the crimp station slightly moves the shellplate and I can’t be sure that the primer punch is exactly centered under the brass primer pocket and there could be a tolerance stack up issue. I was able to put a dial micrometer to the shellplate the guide pin deflected the shellplate .005 clockwise. What else can be done?
  4. Does anybody know, approximately, how many foot pounds are required to operate a 1050? ( Given reloading 223). Thanks, rm
