PISTOL SECTION –
Toolhead Set Up
To set up the toolhead you’ll need to have
empty brass, bullets, primers and powder
on hand. (For your convenience Dillon
Precision offers a wide variety of new
primed and unprimed brass, bullets, primers
and powder.) For easy access, place your
brass in an open container. Dillon Precision
also offers a variety of blue bin boxes which
come in handy for this purpose.
A. Station 1 – To install the
size/decap die FIG 25:
Warning: Never attempt to de-prime live
primers, an explosion may result in
serious injury or even death.
1. Raise the platform, by lowering the
handle all the way down.
2. Screw the sizing die into Station 1.
Continue to screw the die down until
it just touches the shellplate. Tighten
the die lockring finger tight Now
lower the platform by raising the han-
dle to its upright position.
3. Place a case in the casefeed funnel.
Here, the case drops to the casefeed
arm bushing.
4. Raise the platform. The inserter cam
pushes the feed arm bushing over the
body, dropping the case onto the
Station 1 locator.
5. Lower the platform. The case is insert-
ed into Station 1.
FIG 28
Note: After raising the handle, insure that
you push the handle against its full aft
stop FIG 28. This will insure
that the case is fully inserted into
Station 1.
Note: Also, when priming, pushing the
handle against its full aft stop, FIG
28, will insure that the primer is
fully seated.
6. Again, raise the platform. The case is
now sized. If the case has a spent
primer, it will be deprimed. Leave
the platform in the raised position
with the case fully inserted in the
die. This will ensure that the die
remains in alignment when tighten-
ing the lockring.

7. Using a 1-1/8” wrench to turn the
lockring, and bench wrench to hold
the die body, tighten the 1” lockring
FIG 29.

B. Station 1 – The decap-
ping assembly FIG 30:
Dillon decapping assemblies are made
with replaceable decap pins. One extra pin
is included with each sizing die. To replace
a bent or broken pin, simply:
1. Unscrew the decapping assembly
from the top of the die FIG 30.
FIG 31
2. Unscrew the knurled retaining nut,
see “A” FIG 31, remove the old pin
and replace it with a new one, see
“B” FIG 31.
3. Screw the decapping assembly back
into the sizing die.
Note: The decapping assembly can be
removed from the sizing die without
affecting the adjustment of the siz-
ing die or sizing operation.
Note: The decapping assembly must be
removed when loading primed
cases. (Tip: Check prices of
components. You can often pur-
chase primed cases for the price
of the primers and new empty
cases. Obviously, this is a good
deal since you pay the same price
and save time.)
