If you're like me, you
have already figured out that when you cycle the roller handle (#22183), hulls feed into
the shellplate and primers also feed into the machine. Let's begin making a few rounds and
I'll explain the loading process, using the first hull as our guide.
1. With all the stations empty, move the roller handle (#22183) down and
then back up to its full aft position. A hull has been fed into the shellplate. (Figure 45)

2. Push the roller handle (#22183) aft, away from you.
Doing so inserts the hull fully into the shellplate and the first primer appears at
station two. Remove this primer and set it aside. (Figure 46)
3. Move the roller handle (#22183) down. The first hull is being resized
and

the old primer has been
removed from the hull.
4. Return the roller handle (#22183) to its rest position. The first hull
advances to station two and another hull has been fed to the shellplate. (Figure 47)

5. Push the roller handle (#22183) aft, away from you.
Doing so seats the new primer into the first hull at station two, and another hull is
fully seated into the shellplate at station one. To ensure that you have fully seated the
primer into the hull, it is important to stroke the operating handle to its full aft
position. With experience, you will acquire the "feel" of the primer being
seated fully. (Figure 48)
