8.4.4 There are 3 adjustments required for the Automatic Powder Measure system for pistol and rifle cartridges:
•
1--Full horizontal travel of the Powder Bar--The Powder Charge Bar must be adjusted to achieve full
horizontal travel. Failure to do so will result in inconsistent powder charges.
•
2--Case mouth belling for pistol cartridges and full travel without over travel for rifle cartridges.
•
3--Powder charge weight in grains for rifle and pistol cartridges.
8.4.5 Place an empty sized case in Station 2 with no powder in the Powder Measure. Loosen the 7/8-14 Powder Die
locknut and the two-socket head Powder Measure clamping screws (see below). Cycle the Operating Handle
down. Proper adjustment is achieved with the Powder Bar reaching the end of its travel at the same time the
Operating Handle reaches the bottom of its stroke, as indicated by the Charge Bar Arm just touching the Powder
Body as shown below. If the Charge Bar Arm has not traveled its full distance or tries to over travel, raise the
Operating Handle slightly while threading the 7/8-14 Powder Die up or down with your fingers while holding the
Powder Measure from rotating. Lightly tighten the Die Lock Ring and the two Powder Die clamping screws—
further adjustment is required for case belling and powder funnel height and is discussed below.
