until it just touches the shellplate. Tighten the die lockring finger tight Now
lower the platform by raising the handle to its upright position.
3. Place a case in the casefeed funnel. The case a should drop to the
casefeed arm bushing.

the body, dropping the case onto the Station 1 locator.
5. Lower the platform. The case is inserted into Station 1.
After raising the handle, insure that you push the handle away from you to it's
stop. Figure 28. This will insure that the case is fully inserted into
Station 1.

has a spent primer, it will be deprimed. Leave the platform in the raised position with
the case fully inserted in the die. This will ensure that the die remains in alignment
when tightening the lockring.
