first hull is being formed and folded with the starter
crimp die (#10640) at station four.

14. Push the roller handle (#22183) to its full aft
stop, seat the primer into the hull at station two and
place a new plastic wad in the wad guide (#16681).
15. Move the roller handle (#22183) down. The
first hull is at the last process. The final crimp and
seating die finishes closing the top. A final seat plug

17. Again, push the roller handle (#22183) to its
full aft stop, seat the primer into the hull at station two
and place a new wad in the wad guide (#16681).
We’ve now reached the stage in the reloading
process where all the stations in the machine are
filled. From here on out every complete stroke of the
roller handle (#22183) will give you one completed
round.
WHEN OPERATING THE ROLLER HANDLE:
Pay close attention to the hulls, noting the changes
that take place as they go through the machine. Pace
yourself when operating this machine. Do not crash
the roller handle (#22183) down against its stops. Do
not snatch the roller handle (#22183) upward. It
should take two or more seconds to move the roller
handle (#22183) from its rest position, down, and
then back to its rest position.
