first hull is being formed and folded with the starter

crimp die (#10640) at station four.

13. Return the roller handle (#22183) to its full aft

position. All the hulls advance one station. The first

hull is now in station five. Fig. 53

14. Push the roller handle (#22183) to its full aft

stop, seat the primer into the hull at station two and

place a new plastic wad in the wad guide (#16681).

15. Move the roller handle (#22183) down. The

first hull is at the last process. The final crimp and

seating die finishes closing the top. A final seat plug

presses the hull back down and below the top. Fig. 54

16. Return the roller handle (#22183) to its rest

position. The first hull advances and moves out of the

machine. Fig. 55

17. Again, push the roller handle (#22183) to its

full aft stop, seat the primer into the hull at station two

and place a new wad in the wad guide (#16681).

We’ve now reached the stage in the reloading

process where all the stations in the machine are

filled. From here on out every complete stroke of the

roller handle (#22183) will give you one completed

round.

WHEN OPERATING THE ROLLER HANDLE:

Pay close attention to the hulls, noting the changes

that take place as they go through the machine. Pace

yourself when operating this machine. Do not crash

the roller handle (#22183) down against its stops. Do

not snatch the roller handle (#22183) upward. It

should take two or more seconds to move the roller

handle (#22183) from its rest position, down, and

then back to its rest position.
