i feed the hopper screws thru the riser wings first, then into the base. its easy to turn them right side in and you dont have to worry about one dropping
Thanks for this video. I have a question about the reloading process for 223. I have a 5 station press I use for 45acp. I want to use this press for 223, but I am having an issue with one part of the reloading process for 223. You need to resize the case before you trim, which defeats the purpose of using a progressive press because you have to stop indexing the press to remove the case once its deprimed and resized in station 1. When to you trim your cases?
Tim I usually deprime, resize and then trim in one bulk operation. That way when I’m ready to reload, I skip the resizing die and and start with the powder charge. I’ve found I only have to trim every other reload on a case.
Jason, you’ll need to consult your reloading manual to determine the disk size needed for your particular powder and charge. If you’re not sure, play around with different sizes until you consistently throw the powder charge you need. Thanks for watching and welcome to the reloading world.
Marcello, it depends on which powder you’re using. If you have a reloading manual it will show you which disk size to use. If you don’t have a manual, you can use trial and error along with scales to see which disk dispenses the correct amount. Good luck!
The charges have always been within one or two tenths of a grain and I have seen great reliability out of them. I check the charge around every 15-20 rounds.
Best video for the auto disk powder measure . Exactly what I needed to see Thank you
Screw the hopper down on top of your rifle riser easier to run the screw through spacer pieces
Thanks for this video. I just ordered one and was curious how to set it up.

hello friend, how are you? I would like to know which disc or disc numbering for 9mm refill, ie for 5 grains, hug

How close has each charge been when checked on the scale? Are these pretty reliable? How often would you check?

thanks
I got a used press with no instructions and Lee's black and white instructions suck.
I’m glad this video helped you out. Thanks for watching!
