jedb Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The 1050 is set up to load 40s&w. The problem I am having is when I set the bullet on the seating station and cycle the machine the case and or the bullet are being damaged at the case mouth. This happens mainly with nickel cases more so that brass. Anyone out there have any suggestions? I have tried opening up the case a little more and has helped a little.

38superman Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Can you be more specific? What is the nature of the damage? What bullet? How much flare on the case mouth? Tls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Check and make sure you have the right brass pin in place.....the locater pin that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schutzenmeister Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I've occasionally noticed this with my 1050 over the last 10 years or so. It seems to happen more with plain base bullets than with bevel base bullets, in my experience. A LITTLE extra bell on the case mouth tends to help, but remember that too much bell will shorten the life of your brass. What I tend to do when this problem raises its head is to hold the bullet in place with my fingers until it starts to enter the seating die. This keeps it straight long enough for the die to take over and do its job. I know it sounds silly to point this out, but DO remember to get your fingers out of the way before you finish pulling the handle all the way! Sometimes we ALL fall asleep at the wheel while doing something so repetitive!!! Yeah ... I know holding the bullet still is a bit of a bother, but I still wouldn't trade my 1050 for ANY other machine on the market. (Except MAYBE a Super 1050 ... but as I don't load mass quantities of large caliber rifle, it's kind of moot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x21 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) plus one to what Schutzenmeister said. increase bellmouth, right pins? right shell plate? anymore problems calls Dillon PS Schutzenmeister keep the 1050 before thinking super 1050.

al503 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 .40s are cheap so I bell those more than (still not that much) I bell my 38 SC cases (which is hardly any) on which I have to hold the bullet until it enters the seating die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Carey Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 The seating die needs to be cleaned now and then, and equipped with the right bullet seating nose style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
