Rifle Toolhead Set Up (Page

Station 5 -
Installation and adjustment of the Crimp Die
1. Screw the
crimp die into Station 5. Screw it down until it is flush with the bottom of the toolhead.
This is a good starting point for the crimp adjustment.
2. Place a lubricated cartridge with a properly seated bullet into
Station 5.
3. Raise the platform and continue to screw the die down until it
stops.
4. Lower the platform and give the die a half turn down; again,
raise the platform.
5. Lower the platform halfway and inspect the cartridge. If the desired
amount of crimp has not been achieved, give the die a 1/4 turn down and try again.
Continue making small adjustments to your crimp die until the desired amount of crimp has
been achieved.
6. Once the adjustment is complete, place the case back into Station 5
and raise the platform. Using a 1 1/8" wrench to turn the lockring and a
7/8" wrench to hold the die body, snug the lockring.
