Dillon 1050 Primer System Tuneup

I bought a new Dillon 1050 recently I tore it all down because I am having some issues with the primer system I did a tune up on the primer system and hopefully this video can help you out if you're having the same issue after a couple of frustrating reloading sessions I realize the shuttle is not moving back and forth smoothly in this channel to pick up primers it's either not coming all the way forward or it is not going all the way back I checked all the springs I've tested everything I've taken it apart several times I put it back together I finally took the the machine all part after doing another reloading session and starting to look at this area really closely one thing I noticed is right in here there are some tool marks that were left by the machine you can see that chatter mark right there what's happening when I put the shuttle in there and move it back and forth with my fingers it doesn't move very smoothly and it's catching on all of this right in here so we're going to fix this issue to fix this issue what we're going to do is take a diamond file this is by DMT. We will put this in here nice and flat and we are going to work this area back and forth until we smooth down the burrs in the machined area when we get all done, this can take several minutes, we should have a nice smooth flow up the primer carriage in this 1050 a quick test here see how we're doing that is much smoother I'm putting barely any effort to move this shuttle back forth with this tool it still feel little bit drag right here so we are going to do just a little bit more cleanup on us okay after another few minutes of work this piece moves very easily back and forth it takes hardly any effort at all to move it I smoothed up most of these tool marks that were in here and cleaned up the high spots there's no chattering whatsoever when I rub that stylus back and forth there we are going to put the machine back together and I will bet you everything is going to work a whole lot smoother if you have any questions or any comments leave them in the comments section down below or visit our website
