Crimp Start adjustment:
This is an up or down adjustment. Adjusting the amount of crimp start will control the “hole” in
the center of the loaded round. Too little crimp start will leave a hole that shot may spill out of. Too much crimp start can
cause a “swirl” in the center of the crimp or cause a “buckle” near the top of the loaded round.

Crimp:
This is an up or down adjustment. Adjust to your desired finished crimp depth. Adding spring pressure will flatten
out a concave crimp. Reducing spring pressure will flatten out a peaked crimp.

DRAIN POWDER AND SHOT HOPPERS

Remove the two thumbscrews that attach the Hopper/Charge Bar assembly to the top of the press. Carefully remove the
assembly from the press. Remove the cap from one Hopper and secure the cap on the other Hopper as you drain. Repeat
for the other Hopper. It is recommended to drain the Shot Hopper before the Powder Hopper
