INSTALLING UNIVERSAL CASE FEEDER (ACCESSORY # 90242)
Re-attach the spring to the case
actuator and test operation on 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.

Bottleneck case orientation. Note
neck just clears top of notch.
Works well with most handgun cartridges and small rifle cases like the 223. Can be fitted with optional collator bowl # 90667, fills 4 tube feeder with
handgun cases in about 10 seconds. This feeder will not work for bullet feeding. You must use the case inserter supplied with the APP. The case slider
included in the universal case feeder will not function correctly, it will not center the cases in the X-PRESS shell holder and there is no attach for the feed
spring.
