Primer KB on 1050

Lmao! Some of the responses i read on here make me crack up... Especially yours!!^^^^

This is funny. Lol ^^^

That is the issue with progressive presses, when they blowup they really blowup.

Rule #1: don't force anything when you're reloading. Glad nobody was hurt. That could have been a very painful and expensive lesson.

Dillon had all parts on doorstep this afternoon. Amazing!

Have had this happen too, except no sympathetic explosions with mine, just the case being primed. I used to run the 1050 without the swager attached, but installed it after that incident. That has allowed me to catch the few small primed cases that seem to slip by me.

Monday night I was loading with a friend from my shop. We had all my machines going, I was loading 10mm on the LnL, my bro was prepping 7.62 on the other LnL and my buddy was loading .45 large primer on the 1050. Before the session started I told him to inspect every case before putting it into the casefeeder hopper. I explained to him that on a 1050 with priming on the down stroke you can get a nice little surprise (so I heard). Well he was on 952 or 956 (still haven't taken a hard count yet) and he looked over and said "something is binding it up." I looked directly at him and said "Don't force it, I'll be right there after I cycle this press."

BOOM!!!!

Holy crap we all scattered like we where taking live fire, except for my buddy still clutching the 1050 handle with the eyes of a deer in the headlights, I think he had shell shock. Smoke was everywhere along with the smell of sulfur. Neighbors came out to see what happened. After the smoke cleared I went to see what caused it, low and behold a Blazer small pistol primer case. Dayum!! those things. My count was 5-8 primers, some where really deformed. The primer guide rod with the .45 on top was lodged in the drywall lid. Plastic was everywhere. The top part of the primer rod completely blew off! 1050 was blacked all around ground zero. You can see the rest of the damage in the picture. Needless to say we all had to change our huggies, we all where a little shaken up and decided that was enough for the night.

Called Dillon in the AM and of course they are sending out everything, including the primer alarm which took a hit but still functioned. It was inevitable of course, especially with how much I load, but I will take even further action to negate it in the future. Crap was no joke.

I believe part of it was he was not to familiar with 1050, I can feel the SPP in the swage station. And a praise Dillon's safety design.

I know I am late to this party, but DAMN. Glad to hear that Dillon has you covered on this.

I think the thing to take away from this is simple, Guns don;t kill people, BLAZER kills people... (Okay, they TRY to kill people when they are not looking...)

How is the Dillon doing now? Do we need to send it some red carnations in a nice red vase or something?

Thanks for sharing your story, glad nobody was hurt and I need to make sure to always wear my safety glasses.

Hate to tell ya this but it's not just Blazer. Seems like everybody has a SP .45ACP round, usually NT. The first I saw locally were Federal Champion. ALMOST the same box, too. Only diff was that the SPP ammo came in a slightly smaller box.

Then Win NT.

Blazer.

Speer.

Grrr....

I own a square deal b. been loading on it for 20+ years. Dillon CS is awesome. They taken care of a few things and wouldn't let me pay them.

One thing I really like about the SDB is the priming system. It's done at the end on a short upstroke. It's very positive feeling and you have a lot of control over it. It's easy to feel any resistance. And yeah, those damn SPP 45's piss me off.
