Now that you’ve seen the Square Deal “B”
function, read the following description of what is
happening at each station.
Understanding the Machine
Station 1: When a cartridge is fired, it expands.
The carbide resizer returns it to factory dimensions.
The primer decap pin knocks out the old primer and
deposits it into the spent primer cup.
No adjustments are ever necessary at this station.
Station 2: As you recall, when you press forward
on the handle you will seat the primer, but that’s not
all that’s happening here. As the cartridge goes up
into the powder measure it encounters a powder
funnel that slightly “bells” the mouth of the
cartridge – this bell or flare enables you to start your
bullet easier at Station 3. As the powder funnel is
carried upward by the cartridge it will operate your
automatic powder measure and dispense the
amount of powder chosen.
Two adjustments are possible here. The amount
of bell has been adjusted at the factory; however,
you may increase or decrease the amount of bell by
simply screwing the powder die into or out of the
toolhead. (See Fig. 14.)
The second adjustment is the most important of
the entire loading sequence and must be approached
with a great deal of caution. You must adjust your
powder measure to meter the proper weight of
powder in grains for the load you’ve selected from a
powder manufacturer’s chart or reloading manual.
Cycle your empty cartridge into Station 2.
Turning the adjusting screw as shown on Fig. 13 will
open or close the powder insert. Fill the powder
measure with the powder of your choice. Cycle your
primed practice round into Station 2 to activate the
powder measure. Do this several times and then,
using a powder scale, weigh your charge. (See Fig.
15.) Then, by trial and error, continue adjusting until
the proper weight of powder is achieved. Run it six
more times just to be sure.
With the powder measure up and running let’s
get some primers.
Fill ‘er Up
Using the appropriately sized primer pick up tube,
pick up the primers, shiny side up as shown in Fig.
16. This tube will hold approximately 100 primers.
You will notice that the primer magazines and
