Dillon 1100 Primer Alignment Trick

detailed video of the Dillon 1100/1050 primer alignment trick with ziptie

Nice! Thanks for sharing. A zip tie is a lot less work, less intrusive, and no permanent modifications necessary with it. I don’t know anything about tapping screws but I can put a zip tie on

Mine was out .065" new from the factory. The forums claim the primer shuttle is super hard blah blah blah. Like you I did not want to chance damage to the main frame so I drilled and tapped the shuttle with a 3/32 nf flathead screw, double checked the offset added a drop of locktite and have never had any primer issues. Wish I had seen your vid many months ago

Well dam I never thought of tapping the shuttle , silly me 🤦🤣 Thanks for the the comment and thank you for your support much appreciated Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with just a comment away 👍

Hey snowgorilla, I want to do that to my shuttle, the drill and tap truck for an adjustment screw. I don’t have a drill press but I know someone who does. Can you send details of how you did yours so I can get mine done. I’m tired of screwing up primers.

Great info. What’s the large silver assembly on top of the primer station?

Question for you, I got my Dillon rl1100 and I’m having a issue when I discharge my powder, there always some still falling out on the up stroke

[@franksxxxr2099]

I called Dillon about flipped primers and they blamed it on the my autodrive running too fast and I must have bent something. Sure enough, I was having the same problem you described that the primer shuttle was traveling too far, then getting pushed back by the alignment pin. I added a small zip tie and the shuttle is now moving in just a fraction too short. I expect the tie wrap will flatten slightly over time and all will be good. Going to fire up the press this week and see the results. Thank you for making the video and sharing.

Great tip! Thanks!!! Where did you get your lights under the tool head?

[@shootingstuff7641]

What hold down die are you using for the .223?

[@Nutter1138]

Same as what I do

[@scottlong9151]

I used black tape.

[@firearmconvention946]
