Torogi Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 This screw fell behind my 1050 last night. The only other non-dillon i have is Mr. B and it doesn't use this screw type. I did my best to look but all screw seems to be there. 3/4", 3/32 hex key head. Now i dont have a peace of mind loading. Any help where to look is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

BritinUSA Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Is it the screw that secures the casefeeder to the post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 No sir. I did check that and that screw is actually larger. The closest i saw was the screw that holds the retention spring for the indexer arm for the shell plate. Similar ones are the screw on the primer alarm assembly. Powder assembly doesnt have one. If there is, then maybe its this. But i didnt see any empty holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Low primer alarm clamp screw, maybe fell from the PC die (if you use one)? Most all of the screws into metal that Dillon uses are socket head cap screws. The button head screws are more often found when used to secure plastics but there are some exceptions.

Badkarma Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The screw that holds in the primer slide stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Looks to be too small for that, not to mention the stop itself would have also fallen off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henny Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Almost looks like one of the screws for the powder alarm. However, I'm sure if one of those would be missing you would have noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDIS46 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Here is what I recommend: 1. You need to identify the correct thread size 1st. For example: "1/4-20" 2. Download the Dillon Super 1050 manual in PDF. 3. Do a search in the document for that thread size. For example: "1/4-20" or "1/4 - 20" 4. Identify each screw of that size in the manual. 5. Verify each of those screws is in place. Here is the link for the PDF version of the manual: http://dillonhelp.com/Dillon%20Manual%20PDFs/super_1050_manual_may_2007.pdf My wife thinks I also have a loose screw but this process won't help with that..........

Henny Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Looking at it again, could it be the screw (13685) that holds in the carrier cap (11010)? I'm kind of interested to see what it's from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I am guessing he figured it out over the last week and a half, just not going to tell us. It does remind me that I need to take an extra screw over to a buddy's house and leave it on the bench next to a press when I leave...

RonofVa Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I received my new 1050 this year. It came with that extra button headed cap screw. I went over the diagram and the machine for what seemed like hours. I finally just chalked it up to an extra screw (1/4-20x 5/8). Missing from my machine was a set screw for the case feeder. (Which appears to be a 5/16” in diameter) I don’t care about the missing set screw, the case feeder is very secure with almost a press fit onto the square channel.

RDA Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Find a harley owner and pour some oil under his bike ... Watch him freak out. Really? Seems that was a pretty common occurrence for many, many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
