Installing the Shell Plate
•  Put a small amount of general-purpose grease on the 
Shell Plate Ball Detents located on bottom side of Shell 
Plate (3), and on the top surface of the Sub-Plate (6).
•  Align the Shell Plate (3) with the keyed Drive Hub (5).
•  Place the 3/8" Shell Plate Retainer Bolt (1) through 
the 3/8" Flat Washer (2), (large end up) and thread the 
bolt into the Drive Hub (5).
•  Tighten the bolt (1) using a 5/16" Allen wrench, only 
tight enough to prevent it from coming loose.
•  Stretch the Case Retainer Spring over the top of the 
Shell Plate (3).
•  While cycling the Press, push the Case Retainer Spring 
into the relieved area on the Sub-Plate (6). You will 
have to cycle the press a couple of stations to receive 
these results.
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 
of 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 of small) to the Primer 
Feed Tube (large of small) using the Primer Tube Support. 
Remove the cotter pin from the Primer Filler Tube (large of 
small) and fill the Primer Feed Tube (large of 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 of 
small). This will help the primers feed more reliably.
