Remember

Press forward firmly on the handle to seat your primers. Primer jams or misfeeds can be caused by misadjustment of the set screw 13961 in the primer feed block. The most common case of primer misfeeds or jams is the primer punch not seating fully onto the primer slide. This will cause the primer cup to strike the flexible orifice on the bottom of the primer magazine tube. Watch the powder bar function, make sure you're getting powder. Set the bullet straight on the case at Station 3 so that it...

Understanding the Machine

Station 1 When a cartridge is fired, it expands. The carbide resizer returns it to factory dimensions. The primer decap pin knocks out the old primer and deposits it into the spent primer cup. No adjustments are ever necessary at this station. Station 2 As you recall, when you press forward on the handle you will seat the primer, but that's not all that's happening here. As the cartridge goes up into the powder measure it encounters a powder funnel that slightly bells the mouth of the cartridge...
