Is your
Load-Master not feeding cases all the way into the Shell Plate?
Or is your
Case Slider hitting the top of the press?
So you have followed
the instructions to set up your Case Feeder but no matter how much tension you
adjust on the Crank Slider your cases are not feeding all the way into the Shell
Plate.
Well the solution is easy.
Remove your
Case Feed Rod by loosening Bolt FL3070.
You can now
adjust the Feed Bracket (LM3260) by simply loosening the bolt on it. Then turn
the Feed Bracket in one complete turn.
DO NOT USE BOLT
FL3070 TO TURN THE FEED BRACKET! Rather insert a screw driver into the hole and
use that to turn the Feed Bracket.
Line the
bracket up, tighten the nut.
Now reinstall your Case Feed Rod and make sure that it is square to the feed tongue of the carrier, with a gap of 8mm – about the thickness of a pencil – between the Case Feed Rod and the feed tongue.
Reset the
tension on your Crank Slider.
Your Case
Slider should now insert cases all the way into the Shell Plate.
If your Case
Slider is hitting the top of the press you can adjust the Feed Bracket out 1
full turn, this should give you enough clearance to avoid damaging your Case
Slider.
At the top
of the press stroke your Case Slider should just miss the top of the press.
You might
need to play a bit with this setting to find the sweet spot. But make sure you
only do 1 turn in/out at a time.
Hope this
helps.
