Anyone with a Dillon 1050 knows the the index pawl is the weak point on the machine.  If a primer doesn't fully exit the case during the decapping process, as the shell plate turns, the primer tries to jam between the press frame and the shell case.  If you're moving along at a good pace, when this jam occurs, it will damage the index pawl, putting the press out of commission until a replacement is purchased and installed.
We have fixed this issue with our index pawl.
Dillon's index pawl is made from stamped mystery metal (it's very soft if you drag a file across it).  Our pawl is made from pre-hardened 4140 steel, precision ground flat.  Pre-hardened steel is hard through and through, not case hardened, where only the exterior is hard.
Dillon's pawl has the pivot hole too close to the edge.  Our Heavy Duty pawl has the hole in the same spot, but we added more material to the inside of the pawl to strengthen the hole.  There is no more hole elongation or tear through in the event of a jam.
Dillon's part is stamped and then tumbled to remove the sharp edges.  Our part is water jet cut, leaving clean edges without the need for deburring.
We were chewing through a Dillon Index Pawl between six and eight thousand rounds, with the clutch on our Forcht Auto Drive set as light as we could get it, still allowing the machine to operate properly.
We have tested our heavy duty index pawl for the Dillon Super 1050 using a Forcht Auto Drive with the clutch set very heavy.
We finally wore out a pawl.  900,000 rounds.
