Fig. 11 & 12 – Installation of the Powder Measure
Failsafe System.
To install the failsafe rod (#16814) remove the
blue stripper wingnut (#13799), rod spring
(#14033) and washer (#18086). (Note the order of
parts.) See Fig. 11
Insert the bottom end of the rod between the
bench and the Square Deal “B” through the hole in
the return bracket (#13355). Then, using your thumb
and index finger of your right hand, move the lock-
link (#17838) down to align the hole with the slot on
the Powder Measure bellcrank (#17839). Next, insert
the failsafe rod (#16814) through the two holes and
insert the failsafe rod clip (#13840).
Install the washer (#14033) and the wingnut
(#13799). With your left hand, move the operating
handle (#20114) to the priming position; press the
operating handle firmly forward and with your
right hand adjust the wingnut until the spring is
partially compressed. You are now ready to reload.
Refer to the rear view in Fig. 11 to assist in the rod
location and proper powder measure positioning.
Check It Out
Your assembly should now be complete, but
before you stock it with powder and primers let’s
run through the operation a few times.
Your Square Deal “B” has been adjusted at the
factory in the caliber of your choice and we’ve
enclosed the sample rounds that we used to obtain
those adjustments. One cartridge has a bullet seated
to illustrate the seating depth and the other round
was primed (the primer is inert).
Place the cartridge case without the bullet in
Station 1 and pump the operating handle. The
primer will be pushed out and dropped into the
spent primer cup (#13651). Continue to pump the
handle and observe the advancement of the
cartridge from station to station until it is ejected
into the cartridge collection box. Now take a new
primer and drop it (shiny side down) into the
primer magazine (#13673). Operate the handle and
the primer will appear at Station 2, press forward
on the handle, pick up the primer with your
fingers and put it back into the primer magazine.
The forward pressure on the handle is important
as it exerts the pressure necessary to seat the
primer in a cartridge.
Reinsert the case in Station 1, drop the primer in
the primer magazine and operate the handle. As the
case is moved to Station 2 press forward firmly but
gently and you will feel the primer being seated.
Cycle the machine and eject the primed round.
IMPORTANT: Let’s do it again but this time do
not put the primer in the magazine. Repeat the
sequence using an unprimed case. Notice how the
primer punch tends to stick in the cartridge when no
primer is present. This is the feeling you get when
your Square Deal “B” runs out of primers.
