Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Press - Manual (Page 8)

- 8 - - 9 -
Place a lubricated case in
the shell holder and pull the
operating handle.
As the ram moves upward, you will see
the PPS primer arm pivot forward to
allow the decapped primer to deflect off
the arm into the primer catcher. As the
primer arm pivots, it moves into position
to pick up a new primer. If you are not
using the automatic primer feed, a
primer should be inserted by hand at the
top of the ram stroke.
With a primer in the cup, return
the handle to the rest position.
As the ram moves downward, the PPS
primer arm pivots back into position
under the decapped case and is
held in position by the ram and the
frame casting. As the ram continues
downward, the case is brought down
over the primer cup and the primer is
seated. Use care at this stage to feel
the primer “seat” correctly without
being crushed. Release pressure on the
operating handle and raise it slightly
to allow removal of the primed case.
Then insert another case and repeat the
operation.
