The primer shuttle should now slide out through the slot
in the front of the ram (Figure 6). When finished changing
punches, reverse the above steps to re-install the shuttle.
Once the priming system is assembled and you have
verified that it is operating correctly, insert the correct
size primer tube into the threaded housing. Be sure the
notched end of the tube goes down into the housing
(Figure 10).
Install the primer housing tube over the primer tube by
threading it onto the housing (Figure 11).
Attach the primer tube support by pushing it onto the tube
from above (Figure 12).
Install the primer catch tray by snapping it onto the cap
piece in the direction shown (Figure 13).
REMEMBER
:
Primers are explosives. When using either
priming system, do not try to force a primer. If something
seems to be stuck, stop and see why. Never try to force
the operation. Use extreme care when handling primers,
and always wear safety glasses.
Loading the Primer Tube
Carefully transfer the primers out of their factory
package into a Hornady Primer Turning Plate and
orientate them “shiny side up.” Then holding the Primer
Filler Tube (large or small) like a pencil bring the plastic
primer pick up tip over each primer and gently press it
over the primers. The primers will be pushed into the
filler tube one on top of another. Continue loading the
primer filler tube until you have picked up approximately
100 primers.
Make sure the cotter pin is in place;
turn the Primer
Filler Tube upside down. At the top of the exposed Primer
Filler Tube, there may be several primers still held and
visible. Gently shake the tube to release the primers.
Align the Primer Filler Tube (large or small) to the Primer
Feed Tube (large or small) using the Primer Tube Support.
Remove the cotter pin from the Primer Filler Tube (large
or small) and fill the Primer Feed Tube (large or small).
The capacity of the primer tube is 100 primers.
Do not over fill the primer tube.
Insert the Primer Follower into the Primer Tube (large or
small). This will help the primers feed more reliably.
