Toolhead Conversion

and Final Assembly

1. Slide the 20 gauge toolhead into the frame and

insert the two toolhead pins. Fig. 13

2. Install the powder measure; loosen the two

clamp screws and place the powder measure on the

powder die. Press the clamp forward into the groove

in the powder die and secure the two clamp screws

using a 5/32” Allen wrench.

3. Install both return rods onto the shot dispenser

and the powder measure.

4. Realign the shot hopper tube fitting with the

shot dispenser. Insert the fitting and the e-clip into the

dispenser top.

5. Cycle the roller handle two complete cycles to

insure everything is free to move.

6. Fill the shot dispenser with one cup of shot.
7. Remove the lid on the powder measure and fill

with your powder of choice.

8. Use a once-fired hull, place the hull in Station 2

where the powder measure is located. Fig. 14

9. Move the roller handle down and then back

up to its rest position. Remove the hull from the

shellplate by pressing down on the locator button.

12. Adjust as needed.
13. Now that you have determined the powder

charge, move to Station 3 for wad and shot insertion.

14. Get a supply of wads.

three, insert the wad into the wad swing arm and

move the roller handle down.
