Those of you with Super 1050s, where does your handle stop if you just let go?  Mine naturally centers due to the primer slide and probably also the powder drop return rod spring at a position which is not at the top of the rams stroke.  Press operates okay, but because of this, I have to push a little bit forward to fully index the shellplate.  Is this normal or do I need to get the primer system adjusted better?  I have fiddled with it a little bit but couldnt get it to center at the top of the ram stroke.  Feels much like a xl650 with just a tiny bit of spring tension at the top of the stroke.

Much easier to read if you double space after complete sentences. It's the site formatting.

Now your post is easier to read by the 1050 folks.

Mines came with the older, shorter toolhead spring which sagged a bit.  Ordered up the new spring with bushing and handle remains at end of stroke.

You can also call Dillon and order an OEM spring, sometimes they send them out for free.

I do have a spare parts kit on the way for the press which I believe includes a new spring and bushing.

The Level 10 spring takes it to a whole new Level. But seriously, I love the Level 10 spring, got 2 in reserve, one of the best "cheap" upgrades there are.

It does, I've been using mine forever now. I went to my dads to help set his new1050 up and I thought it was broken.

CD,
L10 spring is that good?   It about the only 1050 item from L10 I haven't got, other then the primer backer.

Just saw this, YES, I love the L10 spring, great upgrade. I have not messed with the feed cam too much, made one from a template from someone. His name escapes me at the moment.
