Fig 2. Your New
Dynamic Dies are
equipped with Dillon’s
unique “snap spring”
decap assembly. The
s

pring on this unit
compresses as the
decap pin pushes
against the spent
primer. As the spent
primer clears the
primer pocket, the
spring snaps the pin
downward, throwing
the spent primer off the
pin. This prevents the
spent primer from
being drawn back into
the primer pocket and
jamming the machine.
The problem of primer
“draw back” often
occurs when decap­ping military brass. This
exclusive feature is
unique to Dillon dies

and at no extra charge. Fig 2 also shows the
three main pieces of the decapping stem:
A. Decapping shaft. B. Retaining cap. C.
Decapping pin.

Fig 3. To
remove the
decap pin, use
a 1/8” Allen
wrench to
hold the decap
stem while
loosening the
retaining cap
with a pair of
pliers. Use a
small amount
of 242 (blue)
Loctite and
tighten secure­ly on reassem

-

bly.

Fig 4. Your Dillon Dynamic seating die is

a snap-together assembly.

Fig 5. The
seating die
can be disas­sembled by
simply remov­ing the snap
ring at the top
and pulling
the seat die
insert out of
the bottom of
the seat die
body. This
allows you to
take the die
apart for
cleaning with­out tools and
without dis­turbing your
seating adjust­ment.
