Bullet Seating Die At the top of the press stroke, the bullet will be seated into the case. Bullet seating depth is controlled by adjusting the Seat Plug Stop (A) up or down.
CAM Plate The CAM Plate on the upper portion of the Case Activated Linkage System is used to stroke the Push Bar on the Bullet Seating Die. With a case activating the Linkage System and the stroke is all the way up, the dogleg shaped black plastic CAM should trip the Push Bar to allow a bullet to fall. Adjust the CAM (A) vertically or CAM Plate (B) horizontally until the Push Bar (C) is activated properly. See Photo19.
