MANDATORY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS—MUST BE READ 

1.

 

The Basic Risk of Reloading, and Overall Square Deal Design Usage Safety:  

1.

 

DANGER!  The reloading of ammunition and the handling of reloading components used in the reloading process is inherently 

dangerous.  Accidents and mistakes in loading can and do occur, sometimes with disastrous results resulting in, but not limited 

to loss of hearing, vision, limbs or life.  These accidents can occur with the novice and experienced reloader.  

2.

 

Dillon Precision Inc. has designed the Square Deal “B” with user safety in mind, doing everything Dillon Precision Inc. knows to 

make the use of the Square Deal “B” as safe as possible. 

2.

 

Mandatory Square Deal User Safety Minimum Requirements: 

1.

 

Dillon Precision Inc. cannot guarantee the complete safety of the reloader/user of the Square Deal “B”.   To minimize the user’s 

risk, use common sense when reloading and follow these basic safety rules at a minimum. 

2.

 

KNOWLEDGE: Study and learn the basics, processes and specifications used in the reloading of ammunition from reputable 

sources and publications by prominent bullet and powder manufacturers such as Sierra, Hornady, Speer, Western Powders and 

Alliant Powders; including reloading manuals such as the Lyman Reloading Manual and the Western Powder Reloading Guide. 

3.

 

EYE AND EAR PROTECTION:  Never operate the Square Deal without eye and ear protection. 

4.

 

PAY ATTENTION:  Give your full attention to the reloading process.  Do not watch television, the internet or converse with 

anyone while loading.  It is a full-time operation. 

5.

 

INTERRUPTIONS:  If you are interrupted in any manner, always inspect the cases at every station and know exactly what has 

been done to ensure that proper process steps have or have not been completed. 

6.

 

SMOKING/IMPAIRMENT:  Do not smoke or allow anyone to smoke in the reloading area.  Do not allow open flames.  Do not 

load if you have been drinking alcohol or are impaired in any way. 

7.

 

SAFETY:  Do not remove any safety device(s) from the reloader or modify the reloader in any way.  Keep components and 

ammunition out of the reach of children. 

8.

 

LEAD--CAUTION!  Almost all bullets have a lead component, which may or may not be exposed.  Be sure to have proper 

ventilation while handling the lead component (bullet) or when shooting.  Lead causes birth defects, reproductive harm and 

cancer.  Wash your hands thoroughly after handling lead components or shooting. 

9.

 

POWDERS--DANGER!  There are many kinds of powders (propellants) used in the reloading process and are in general specified 

as rifle, pistol or shotgun powders.  Powder selection is specific to the bullet caliber, weight and type of bullet being reloaded.  

There is no way to overstate the care and selection of a powder to be used in the reloading process.  Again, refer to 

established bullet and powder manufacturers.   Using the wrong powder or amount of powder or mixing powders can result in 

serious injury or death.  Never mix powders.  Always store the powder in its original container.  Never have more than one 

type of powder in the reloading area at one time—preferably store powders in a separate room.   Observe all maximum load 

warnings. 

10.

 

PRIMERS—DANGER!  Primers contain a small amount of a shock-sensitive chemical that explodes when struck by a firing pin 

or hammer or accidentally crushed.  Never force primers.  If they get stuck in the operation of the loader, carefully disassemble 

the reloader and gently remove the obstruction.  Never attempt to clear primers that are stuck in either the primer pickup tube 

or the primer magazine tube.  Never, under any circumstance, insert any type of rod into these tubes to attempt to push out 

stuck primers—PRIMERS CAN “CHAIN DETONATE.”   If a primer(s) gets stuck in the magazine or pickup tubes flood the tube 

with penetrating oil/WD-40, throw it away and call Dillon for a free replacement.  Never attempt to deprime a cartridge case 

with a live primer.  Depriming a live primer is one of the most dangerous things you can do in reloading and can cause serious 

injury or death.  Never attempt to further seat primers on a loaded cartridge.  Use only the primer for the specific application 

for which you are loading. 

11.

 

BLACK POWDER--DANGER!  Do not use black powder or black powder substitutes in any Dillon Powder Measure.  Doing so can 

result in severe injury or death. 

12.

 

LOAD AND LOADED LENGTH—WARNING!  Use only recommended load specifications from manuals and information supplied 

by established, known component manufacturers.  Avoid maximum loads listed in loading manuals.  Be extremely careful to 

avoid a double charge.  Dillon has no control over the components and specifications used when reloading with the Dillon 

equipment.  No responsibility is implied or assumed for results obtained through the use of or inability to use any such 

components or reloading specifications. 

13.

 

QUALITY CHECKS--At a minimum, perform periodic quality checks every 50-100 reloads-ESPECIALLY the powder charge. 

14.

 

PROPERLY LABEL RELOADED AMMUNITION:  Label the reloaded cartridge with the overall length, bullet manufacturer, type 

and weight-- primer manufacturer and type--powder manufacturer, type and powder charge and date loaded. 

15.

 

RELOADING AREA-- The reloading area should be well lit, dry and comfortable without breezes. 

16.

 

BE PATIENT and OBSERVANT— Users should have no trouble achieving published loading rates that are conservative.  Be 

smooth and steady.  The reloading process is not a process to hurry--- If something does not LOOK RIGHT, SOUND RIGHT, OR 

FEEL RIGHT —STOP, LOOK and THINK!   If the problem is not obvious—CALL Dillon Technical Support (800) 223-4570 or visit the 

troubleshooting section at www.dillonprecision.com.
