Changing Primer Components

When changing from a large primer to a small primer (or vice
versa), you need to change the Primer Feed Tube Primer Slide
and Punch Assembly.

If there are primers in the Primer Feed Tube, you will need to
empty it before changing the tubes. If the Primer Feed Tube is
already empty, skip to next step.

Remove the Cap Screw, cup your hand under the Primer Tube
and rotate the Primer Feed Body Assembly clockwise to catch
the primers. After the tube is empty, rotate the body back in
place and re-install the mounting screw.

Disconnect the Spring from the roller pin and remove the
Primer Slide. Remove the Primer Tube Support and the Primer
Feed Tube.

Fill the primer tube as described in the Operations Section.

The Primer Seater Punches are installed from the bottom side
of the Sub-Plate. Raise the Ram to the top of the stroke. Use
a wrench to loosen the Primer Seater Punch and unscrew
it from the Sub-Plate. When installing a new Primer Seater
Punch, tighten it snug with a wrench. Do not over tighten the
Primer Punch.
