SAFETY
Reloading is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby that is easily conducted with
safety. But carelessness or negligence can make reloading hazardous. This product has
been designed from the beginning with the user’s safety in mind.
As with any reloading operation, some safety rules must be followed. By
observing these few rules, the chance of hazardous occurrence causing damage or injury
becomes extremely remote.
GENERAL
• Use the equipment as the manufacturer recommends. Study the instructions
carefully and become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the product. Don’t
take short cuts.
• Observe “good housekeeping” in the work area. Keep tools and components neat,
clean and orderly. Promptly clean up any powder spills.
• Always wear adequate eye protection.
• If any unusual resistance is encountered when moving the operating handle, STOP
IMMEDIATELY and investigate the cause. To proceed against unusual resistance
may damage equipment and/or cause serious injury!
LOADING DATA
• Use only laboratory tested data. We highly recommend the use of the SPEER
Reloading Manual.
• OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS ABOUT THE USE OF MAXIMUM LISTED
LOADS.
POWDER HANDLING
• Store primers and powder beyond the reach of children and away from heat,
dampness, open flames and electrical equipment.
• DO NOT use any powder unless its identity is positively known. Discard all mixed
powders and those of uncertain or unknown identity.
• Before charging cases, settle the powder in the powder hopper. Throw and check the
weight of at least ten charges. This will assure you that the correct powder charge is
being thrown.
• After a reloading session ends, return the remaining powder back into its original
factory container. This will preserve the identity and shelf life of the powder.
• DO NOT smoke while handling powder or primers.
• Black Powder MUST be emptied from the measure IMMEDIATELY after use.
RECORD KEEPING
• Keep complete records of reloads. Apply a descriptive label to each box showing the
date produced, and the primer, powder and bullet used. Labels for this purpose are
packed with SPEER bullets.
Since RCBS has no control over the choice of components, the manner in which they
are assembled, the use of this product, or the firearms in which the resulting
ammunition may be used, no responsibility, either expressed or implied, is assumed
for the use of ammunition reloaded with this tool.
