Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Solution |
|---|---|
| No bullets feed, but sleeve returns to home position. | Die must be screwed |
into press further.
Multiple bullets feed, or one feeds but sleeve does not fully return to home
position.| Bullet is too short for hole selected, move balls to lower hole.
No bullets feed and sleeve does
not fully return to home position.| Bullet is too long for the hole being
utilized, move balls to higher hole.
For the ultimate in convenience, order the gatling style magazine feed.
