Dillon 1050 Super Indexing arm return spring fix

[orisolo]

Hi Guys,
We run into problem with the returning spring of the indexing arm.
We made a fix for it that works great and cost only $1.
I thought to share if anyone run into issues.
Enjoy

Btw. the press is running at 3200/Hour if you wonder

What was the problem that you had with the stock return spring? Are you just processing brass with that machine? Looks like the bracket you built eliminates the primer tube.

This is a video of one I converted running around 4500/hr and no problems with the spring.

Our Spring didnt look like it self anymore after few days.
It start to loose shape and tension.
A day is 8-10 hours at 4320 RPM

My build doesn't eliminate the primer tube but use the screw that hold the tube.
the screw should hole both. (you might need to make a new hole in the bracket closer to the edge)
We currently only process brass but might start to prime as well.
