SHOTSHELL RELOADER INSTRUCTIONS
To help you load completely satisfactory ammunition the first time you operate your 366 Auto,
these instructions have detailed steps of operation and adjustment to help in avoiding problems.
To begin loading shot shells, you will need powder, shot, primers and wads, in addition to empty
hulls. Before purchasing any of these components, first note what charge the standard bushing
furnished with your loader will throw by weighing your charge. Listed on the label on the outside
of the carton is a powder bushing and shot bushing number which is referenced to a powder weight
and brand, as well as shot amount and type.
STANDARD LOADS AND BUSHINGS
If the referenced powder in not available, refer to the recommended load chart furnished with this
loader. This chart will show the other powder weights and brands it will dispense. It is not to be
taken for a reloading manual. Loading data from the major powder manufactures is furnished,
when available, to help you in getting started. Unless you have experience in shot shell reloading,
ask your dealer to help you pick the best starting combination, or contact Hornady’s Reloading
Advisory Center.
IMPORTANT: Never mix powders or use unidentified powder. Do not use smokeless powder
in old firearms until the firearm is certified safe. Do not exceed recommended loads.
Your 366 Auto is a precision machine. It is the only loader to feature full-length resizing with
each stroke, automatic primer feed, swing-out wad guide, three stage crimping with taper-loc for
factory tapered crimp, automatic advance to the next station and automatic ejection with the option
of a gas assisted automatic advance.
This press should give you many years of enjoyable, trouble-free service. Any problems that you
have can generally be corrected by slight adjustments of the dies and punches in each station. If
you are unable to correct the problem, please write us or call:
