Caliber Conversion Section (continued)
Note: About Steps 16 and 17. Both the camming pin and Station 2
locator tab do not require removal or replacement. Instead, depending on the caliber
change, they may need to be readjusted. Whether or not these two items need to be adjusted
depends on the diameter of the base of the case and nothing else. If, for example, you are
converting from 9mm to .45 ACP, because the diameter of the two cases are different,
both the camming pin and Station 2 locator will need to be readajusted. If, on the other
hand, you are converting from, say, .45 ACP to .30-06 or .308, you will not have to
readjust these two items - the diameters at the base of these cases
are the same.
Step 17
Adjusting the Station 2 Locator Tab. The adjustment of the Station 2 locator tab is
best accomplished with the toolhead removed.
1. Place a case in Station 2.
2. Using a 5/64" Allen wrench, insert it into the side of the primer
feed body Figure 194. Turn the screw to adjust the locatortab. A turn
clockwise will move the tab back away from the shellplate and a turn counter clockwise
will adjust it closer to the shellplate.
3. Adjust the locator tab so that the tab just clears the case Figure 195. The objective here is, with the case fully inserted into the
shellplate, the locator tab should not come into contact with he case. However, the tab
should be close enough so as to not allow the case to lose its position in the shellplate.
The distance between the locator tab and the case should be about .010" or about the
thickness of a business card.
