set up
1. As with all dies, disassemble the Crimp/Seater
Die and clean thoroughly.
2. Reassemble according to illustration, setting the
distance between the Crimp Adjust Screw and
the Crimp Adjust Lock Ring to approximately ¼
inch. When tightened properly, the Crimp Adjust
Lock Ring should have firm tension on the O-ring
against the Seater Die Body.
Depending on the caliber of die set/alignment
sleeve you are using, the Hornady Crimp/Seater Die
will either "taper" or "roll" crimp your cases. 3. With a case in the shell holder, raise the press
ram to the top of its stroke. Screw the assembled
Crimp/Seater Die into the press until resistance
is felt. This resistance is the case starting to
crimp in the Alignment Sleeve.
4. Screw the Sure-Loc Lock Ring down against the
press or Lock-N-Load ® Bushing and lock into
place by tightening the cap screw on the ring.
5. Loosen the Crimp Adjust Lock Ring while holding
the Crimp Adjust Screw and then back the Crimp
Adjust Screw off approximately ½ turn. Retighten
the Crimp Adjust Lock Ring while holding the
Crimp Adjust Screw.
