I. Station 4 – Seating Stems

for pistol FIG 65

All pistol seating dies come with inter-

changeable seating stems. The seating stem

you should use will depend on the shape of

the bullet you’re loading. Three different

types of seating stems may be available –

wadcutter, semi-wadcutter and round nose.

Check to make sure that the seating stem

installed in your seating die matches the

bullet you are loading.

Dillon seating dies, which are being used

in this manual, are easily disassembled.

Simply remove the hitch pin from the top

and slide the seating stem out FIG 65.

Replace the seating stem and reassemble

the die.

J. Station 4 – Installation and

Adjustment of the

Seating Die:

1. Take the seating die from the die box

and screw it into Station 4. Screw

the die down until the bottom of the

die is flush with the bottom of the

toolhead FIG 66. Note: At this point

the die will not be screwed down far

enough to begin seating the bullet,

but it will give you a place to start.

2. Place a case (with a belled case

mouth) into Station 4.

3. Place a bullet on the belled case

mouth and raise the platform. Then,

lower the platform just enough to

inspect the bullet without indexing the

shellplate. If the bullet is not seated

deep enough, screw the seating die

down 1/2 turn at a time. As a guide,

one full turn moves the die down

about 70 thousandths of an inch,

about the thickness of a nickel.

Again, cycle the machine and inspect

the seating depth. Repeat these steps

as necessary until the correct overall

length is achieved. Use a dial caliper

or equivalent to measure the overall

length of the cartridge. Check the

overall length of the round against the

information in your reloading manual.

4. Once you have obtained the proper

OAL, replace the cartridge into

Station 4 and raise the platform.

Using a 1-1/8” wrench to turn the

lockring and a 7/8” wrench to hold

the die body, snug the lockring

FIG 67.

Note: If you should happen to seat the

bullet too deep, you can use a

Dillon bullet puller to reclaim your

components.

K. Station 5 – Installation and

adjustment of the Crimp

Die FIG 68:

1. Screw the crimp die into Station 5.

Screw it down until it is flush with the

bottom of the toolhead. This is a good

starting point for the crimp adjust-

ment.

2. Place a cartridge with a properly seat-

ed bullet into Station 5.

FIG 69

3. Raise the platform and continue to

screw the die down until it touches

the cartridge FIG 69.

4. Lower the platform and give the die

an 1/8 turn down, again raise the

platform.

5. Lower the platform halfway and

inspect the cartridge. If the bell is still

present, or the desired amount of

crimp has not been achieved, give

the die a 1/8 turn down and try again.

Continue making small adjustments

to your crimp die until the desired

amount of crimp has been achieved.

6. Once the adjustment is complete,

place the case back into Station 5 and

raise the platform. Using a 1-1/8”

wrench to turn the lockring and a

7/8” wrench to hold the die body,

snug the lockring.
