Adjustments and Conversions

Casefeeder
It may be necessary to readjust the microswitch for different calibers. Cases may become lodged between the microswitch and the tube wall. The other extreme is the case failing to put enough pressure on the microswitch to shut off the system causing it to continue running and over flowing the tube (Figure 15).

Figure 15  Shown is the microswitch that automatically shuts off when a case is next to it.  Also shown is an optional spacer for certain calibers - see the Caliber Conversion Chart.

  The casefeed spacer (#13703) supplied in the accessory package, is to be used

when you are reloading .41 mag, .44 mag, .37 mag, .30 Carbine, or .45 Long Colt.
  Remove the two clutch screws (#13732), lock washers (#13813) and upper clutch (#13632) and the casefeed plate. Place the spacer on the shoulder of the lower clutch and reassemble. The casefeed plate should now be approximately 1/8" above the floor of the casefeed bowl. Note: Make sure the casefeed plate is centered in the bowl (Figure 16).

Handle
  The operating handle is adjustable to three different length settings. Choose the one most comfortable for your operation. Loosen the set screw (#13432) then retighten when the handle is in the most comfortable position.

Swager
  Swaging on the RL1050 is a simple process and is necessary on all cartridge cases as a means of uniforming the entrance of the primer pocket. The swage rod (#20314 large or #20313 - small) is fully adjustable.

Swage Conversion and Adjustment Conversion
  Begin by removing the swage cover (#13064). Next remove the hitch pin (#13840) and slide out the clevis pin (#13522). Rotate the swage connecting rod a half turn, this will allow you access to the swager. Pull the swager down and out of the machine.
  Insert the new swager and reassemble.
