CONVERTING TO ANOTHER GAUGE
If you purchase a die set for a different gauge, always
remember to start installation by adjusting the full length size
die (14) FIRST! When adjusted properly, the size die should just
contact the platen (107) at the top of the stroke . Then, install
other dies and punches using the size die (14) as a guide .
Stations should be adjusted by actually reloading a shell . The
exception is the primer seating pad (3) to ensure seating the
primer to the full depth of the primer pocket . Adjust the wad ram
(46) to provide best crimp (except as noted in sinking crimps or
bulging) .
By showing you how to “fine tune” and troubleshoot the
366 Auto, we hope to save you downtime and maximize your
reloading enjoyment . Your 366 Auto is a fine progressive
reloader…once the first cycle is completed; it kicks out a
finished shell with every stroke .
ABOUT WADS AND WAD PRESSURE:
We recommend the use
of 1-piece plastic wads . They are more convenient, and do not
require any specific wad pressure . They need to be seated only
deep enough to obtain a satisfactory crimp .
PLEASE NOTE:
Normally, few problems are encountered when
reloading shot shells . However, variations in the powder lot,
different brands of primers and other components can cause
substantial changes in pressure . Hornady Manufacturing
Company has no control over the components and equipment
which may be used with this published information; no
responsibility is implied or assumed for modern firearms and
does not exceed manufacturer’s pressure recommendations .
