2.  Lower the Co-Ax Press Handle until there is enough 

room to insert the Locator up into the Top Shell Holder 
Jaw Block (-017) from underneath. 

3.  Center an unprimed case on the Locator. 
4.  While holding the locator in place, adjust the three Top 

Shell Holder Jaws inward onto the case rim and tighten 
the three Socket Head Cap Screws (SCR10-
24X1/2SHEADCAP) around the case. Do not 
overtighten. (See Figure 10.)

5.  Lower the Co-Ax Press handle and remove the Locator. 

You are now ready to prime. If the case rim is either too 
loose or too tight, try using the opposite end of the Top 
Shell Holder Jaws.
