RCBS The Grand - Manual (Page 5)

PRESS MOUNTING
Step 1 Attach Discharge Chute to the bottom of the Shell
Plate Holder as shown in photo 1. Use two 1/4-28 x 1 /
4
Button Head Cap Screws and 5/32 hex wrench.
Step 2 Mount your press to a solid bench. Presses mounted
to a weak or flexible bench are a safety hazard and will not
produce a consistent loaded round. The Grand press is
designed with two sets of mounting holes, three larger holes
(two of these holes for mounting to an optional RCBS
Accessory Base Plate-2 part number 09280) or four small
holes for the optional RCBS Riser Stand part number 89010.

Select an area on your bench with approximately one-foot
clearance on each side of The Grand. Install press with three
3 /
8
" bolts or four 1 /
4
" bolts, length to be determined by the
thickness of your bench (mounting hardware not included).
The press can also be mounted on our optional Riser Stand,
which raises the press four inches above your bench (Riser
Stand part number 89010)
(see photo 6).
The front edge of your bench must have a minimum of 1 1 /
2
" of
clearance to allow the press handle to cycle completely. The
optional Riser Stand angles forward off your bench to allow the
complete cycle of the press handle. Insure that the toggle
block does not strike the face of your bench.
LOADED ROUND CONTAINMENT
For presses mounted directly to the bench, you may want to
drill a 3" hole just off the end of the Discharge Chute and
catch your loaded rounds beneath the bench.

POWDER AND SHOT SYSTEM
The Grand 12 gauge comes with one # 452 powder bushing
and a 1 1 /
8
oz. # 7 1 /
2
shot bushing. The 20 gauge Grand comes
with one # 381 powder bushing and a 7/8 oz. # 7 1 /
2
shot bushing.
To change bushings, before powder and shot are added, just
remove charge bar locking pin
(photo 9) and slide the charge
bar to the right. This allows the removal of the charge bar to
change bushings
(photo 10).
Use of the optional Riser Stand allows the loaded rounds to
drop into a container on top of the bench (Riser Stand and
container not included).
