Hornady Lock-N-Load Rifle Bullet Feeder - Manual (Page 12)

Die Placement
With a chamfered case in the shell plate, raise the press
ram to the top of its stroke. Screw the assembled die into
the press until resistance is felt. This resistance is the case
starting to crimp in the Alignment Sleeve (49). Back the die
off approximately half of a turn.
Screw the Sure-Loc ® Lock Ring (52) down against the press
or Lock-N-Load ® Bushing and lock into place by tightening
the cap screw.
Orient the die so the opening faces the outside of the press by
removing and rotating the Lock-N-Load
® Bushing. This will
allow the Feeder Body (63) to be attached in a later step.
NOTE: If your press does not feature the Lock-N-Load ®
Bushing system, the die will have to be rotated back so the
opening faces the outside of the press.
Bullet Seating Depth
Lower the press ram. Make sure there is not a bullet in the
die from a previous loading session. Drop a bullet into the
opening of the Die Body (51). The bullet should push aside
the Seating Stem (43) and stop inside the Alignment Sleeve
(49) against the Retaining O-Ring (50).
Raise the press ram guiding the case mouth into the
Alignment Sleeve (49). While the press ram is at the top of
the stroke, thread the Seat Adjust Screw (42) into the die
until resistance is felt. This is the bullet starting to seat in
the case.
