LET’S START RELOADING
This drawing clearly shows a top view of the six shotshell reloading
stations. You will note that your shells are processed in a counter¬
clockwise rotation. In order to explain the reloading sequence step
by step using only one shell, and going through each reloading
station, we purposely detached the automatic primer feed spring from
the hook. Note: Manual loading of primer will be necessary while
spring is disconnected.
Move the charge bar to the left as far as it will go and lock it in this
position with the bar lock, Photo No. 11. At this time, you may put
the proper powder and shot into their respective containers. Now
we’re ready to completely reload a single shell.
STEP ONE
Place empty shell into the carrier at the deprime Station No. 1, Photo
No. 20 and pull down on the handle, lowering the shell into the resize
collet where it is resized and the spent primer is removed. Place a
fresh primer into the primer cup. Next, rotate the six-stage carrier
counterclockwise with your left hand. This is a two-stage motion with
click stop positioning. Then position the shell under the reprime tube
Station No. 2, Photo No. 21.
STEP TWO
Again, with your right hand, depress the handle fully to the bottom
of the stroke which reprimes the shell. On the down stroke, the charge
bar lock lever will automatically unlock the bar and on the up stroke
the bar will move to the right releasing the proper powder charge
into the shell casing. Now move the carrier counterclockwise two
clicks to the next station. Station No. 3.
STEP THREE
Using your right hand, place the proper wad column on the wad ram,
Photo No. 22. Important: Do not force wads into the guide as this
spreads the fingers, preventing the wad guide from dropping into posi¬
tion on the shell. By depressing the handle, the wad will be firmly
seated, the charge bar will automatically move to the left position and
the pre-determined shot charge will drop into the shell
While visual checking is not necessary, the pointer indicates the
exact amount of pressure being applied to the wad column when the
handle is depressed. The reading is always positive regardless of
any other adjustments. While tool has been pre-set at the factory for
average pressure required, you may find it desirable to increase or
decrease pressure. Photo No. 41.
