Placing the thumb over the gap in the shell holder during insertion
and removal prevents the case falling out during use.
Take care to remove the cases from the annealer vertically.
We have found that most cases will simply fall out of the shell holder and into the
cooling tray with gravity, however some cases tend to stick more. We therefore
recommend removing the cases from the shell holder by using the edge of your
cooling tray to push the cartridge out of the shell holder as shown. Redding E-Z
Feed shell holders give the smoothest results.
Always remove each annealed case from the shell holder promptly. The longer
a hot case is left in the shell holder the more heat can migrate to the brass grip.
With normal cycling the shell holder grip should remain comfortable to use
for hundreds of cases. Note: the 50-Cal. brass shell holder grip is insulated to
prevent undue heat migration from the annealed cases.
Take care not to touch the steel shell holder itself. That will get reasonably hot
after 30 or 40 cases.
For best results let annealed cases cool down without assistance. Quenching in
water is not necessary.
CASES WILL BE HOT. Take care when handling annealed cases.
Once the annealing cycle has ended, remove the case promptly from
the machine and into your chosen heat proof tray.
