Caliber Conversion Section (continued)

Step 18  Refer to the Rifle Section or Pistol Section to set up the toolhead.

Step 19   Station 2 - Changing out the powder bar:.  Refer to "About Powder Bars" under the Rifle or Pistol Section or refer to the Caliber Conversion Chart to determine whether or not you'll need to change the powder bar.
  To change the powder bar:
1.  Remove the powder from the powder measure (ref. Step 2)
2.  Hold the powder measure over a powder container and cycle the powder bar with your thumb to empty all remaining powder.
3.  Using a 5/32" Allen wrench, loosen the bellcrank screw just enough to remove the white cube from the side of the powder bar Figure 196.
4.   Remove the white plastic retaining plug. (Figure 197)
5.
  a. If the large powder bar is currently installed - remove the large powder bar.
  b. If the small powder bar is currently installed - remove both the small powder bar and small powder bar spacer Figure 198.
Note: The purpose of the spacer is simply to make up for the room allowed for the large powder bar.
6.
  a. Installation of the large powder bar - slide the large powder bar into the powder measure body.
  b. Installation of the small powder bar - slide both the small powder bar and small powder bar spacer into the powder measure body Figure 199.
Note: The groove along the edge of the spacer (see arrow Figure 199) is to be installed face down. The hole in the spacer is to be aligned with the hole in the top of the powder measure body Figure 199.
7.  Seat the white bellcrank cube into the notch on the side of the powder bar. Using a 5/32" Allen wrench snug the bellcrank screw Figure 200.
8. Re-install the white plastic retaining plug Figure 201.
  a.  Large powder bar - Figure 201 The retaining plug has a short end and a long end. If the large powder bar is installed, insert the short end of the retaining plug into the hole in the top of the powder measure body.
Note: The short end is used to hold the plug for safe keeping .
  b.  Small powder bar - Figure 202 The retaining plug has a short end and a long end. If the small powder bar is installed:
    b1.  Align the hole in the powder bar spacer with the hole in the top of powder measure body.
    b2.  Insert the long end of the retaining plug into both the top of  the powder measure body and the powder bar spacer.
Note: The long end of the retaining plug is designed to anchor the spacer that accompanies the small powder bar.
