shellplate at station one. To ensure that you have fully
seated the primer into the hull, it is important to
stroke the operating handle to its
full
aft position.
With experience, you will acquire the “feel” of the
primer being seated fully.

6. Move the roller handle (#22183) down. The first
hull is getting a charge of powder at station two.
7. Return the roller handle (#22183) to its rest
position. The first hull advances to station three,
another fired hull is fed to the shellplate and the hull
at station two is ready to receive a new primer.

8. Push the roller handle (#22183) to its full aft
stop and hold as (using your left hand) you pick up a
plastic wad and place it into the wad guide (#16681).
This same aft stroke seated the new primer into the
hull at station two and the hull at station one is fully
seated into the shellplate. Release the roller handle
(#22183).

9. Move the roller handle (#22183) down. The first
hull is at station three, where a new plastic wad is
seated. It then receives a charge of shot. Again, the
hulls in station one and station two are being
processed as well.

10. Raise the roller handle (#22183) to its full aft
stop. The first hull advances to station four and the
other hulls advance as well.

If you encounter
resistance, STOP! Do not force the handle. There may
be something blocking the primer transfer arm. See
the troubleshooting section for instructions on how to
proceed.
11. Push the roller handle (#22183) aft to seat the
primer into the hull at station two and place a new
plastic wad in the wad guide (#16681).
Special note: An important step in the loading
process – remember when pushing the roller handle
(#22183) aft to seat the new shotshell primer, you
must also place a new plastic wad into the wad guide
(#16681) at the same time. See
