previously configured and adjusted
case inserter and position as shown.

support bolt so there is approximately
a coins thickness between the bottom

case. Minimizing the clearance gives
the best results.

PA4360B by passing
your bullet or case
through. Select the
smallest hole that the
case or bullet will flow
through unrestricted.
Insert ¼” support bolt
into the adjacent hole

When you secure
the nut, hold and
orientate the tube
support so it does
not interfere with
the press handle
during operation
as shown.
Install clear feed tube for the
appropriate size hole in tube
support.
Note: due to the large
manufacturer’s tolerance on
these tubes, some may fit
loosely in the tube support.
This does not aect anything,
you can tighten the fit with a
round or two of clear tape.
Install the
last nut on
to the tube
support bolt
underneath
base casting,
and tighten nut
above rail with
7

Lower handle. Re-attach spring to
case inserter actuator. Cycle a few
cases. If the cases drop too soon,
they may rest on top of feed fingers.
Rotate the feed tube support
farther away (clockwise) from
the press to delay the dropping.
Because of the wide range of
diameters and rim configurations,
you will have to fine tune this
position to provide reliable feeding.
