FIG 94
To adjust the powder die/powder
funnel:
1. Drop a lubricated case into the case-
feed funnel and cycle the handle. The
case should now be in the shellplate
at Station 1.
2. Raise the platform. Notice the resis-
tance at the end of the downstroke.
This is the resistance of the case in
the sizing die. Lower the platform.
The case will index to Station 2.
3. Raise the platform. Check to see
how far the powder bar has traveled
FIG 94.
FIG 95
4. If the white cube has not traveled its
full distance, lower the platform just
enough to pull the case off of the
powder funnel (this will prevent the
shellplate from indexing while you
adjust the powder die). While holding
the powder measure, turn the die
down 1/8 of a turn FIG 95. Again
raise the platform and observe the
travel of the powder bar.
5. Repeat step four until the powder bar
travels its full distance FIG 94.
Note: If you screw the powder die down
too far, the powder bar will travel its
full distance before the handle is all
the way down. If this happens – DO
NOT FORCE THE HANDLE
DOWN. Instead lower the platform
and back the powder die out by
turning it counter-clockwise. If you
force the handle, you will crush the
case and possibly damage the pow-
der measure.
FIG 96
6. Once the powder bar is traveling its
full distance – with the case in Station
2 – raise the platform. Run the lock-
ring down hand tight FIG 96.
FIG 97
FIG 98
7. Insure the bellcrank and the failsafe
bracket are aligned, FIG 97. Using a
5/32” Allen wrench snug the collar
clamp screws, FIG 98.
FIG 99
8. While holding the powder measure,
snug the lockring using a 1” wrench
FIG 99. Now lower the platform.
