[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2411144, member: 30309"] Dennis, lemme see if I can explain. in the 4 hole turret press, the dies move counter clockwise as you bring the brass down from it's last operation. as you reach the final operation to complete the finished round, the turret spins moving the crimp die out and the decapper in, readying for the first operation of the next case. so, here's the operation of this press: station one: place brass in holder and raise into the FL sizer and decapper die. spent primer pops out, primer arm rotates out, place a primer. now bring the brass down out of the sizer. primer arm and good primer rotate into the plunger and the primer is seated. simultaneously, the turret press rotates so that the charging station is over the newly primed brass. Station two: Raise the brass and charge with powder. primer arm flops out, but is no longer used. as you lower the brass, the primer seating arm flops back under the brass and the turret rotates the powder drop out of the way, and the bullet seating die over the charged brass. Station three: raise the charged brass while placing a bullet on top to be seated into the brass. the bullet is seated at full extension of the handle. the primer seating arm pops out again, and is not used. bring the brass, with seated cartridge down. Primer searing arm is pushed back in under the brass, but not used. bullet seat moves out of the way and crimp moves over station where brass is. Station four: raise the newly minted round up into the crimper and crimp the round. Primer arm pops out, isn't used again. As you lower the brass, the turret moves again - back to station one, ready for the next empty.. here is where you remove the newly made round and put a new piece of brass in. then raise it up as in station one above and keep making ammo. Each time you bring the plunger down with the brass casing on top, the primer arm is positioned back under the brass, regardless of whether or not you put a primer in it. each time, the brass with a good primer lands on the end of that arm. So, at the last station when you're ready to remove a live round, the decapper is above it ready to make the next round. clear as mud? do I need to make a video? would that help? [/QUOTE]
