What are the steps to using a Winchester patented in 1894 hand reloading tool?

Answer 1

These tools work very well,decap the empty by putting decaper stem in hole at end with the shell rim holder, place shell over decaping stem and make sure that push pin goes into primmer hole(ea cal.has the decaping stem the same size as the case mouth to holds the case straight and usually aligns up with flash hole perfectly) then just screw the knereled die down untill the primer pops, remove die and repeat,works easy no force required.Prime and charge with powder place bullet in case mouth put it in the shell holder end screw down die until it bottoms out,work the handles a few times and unscrew die end and a finished cartragel awaits you just as good as the ones you buy.You have to use the 1894 bullet mold caliber specific for making the bullet but they are easy to come by.I have loaded modern jacketed bullets but it takes a little more attention than having the proper cast bullet.I have these tools for my 45-70,38-55,38-40,32-40,32 win spl,30-30,32-20,25-20 and use them all the time out in the field,they even put the proper crimp into the crimp grove if you have the proper bullet that fite the tool like it was designd to.Its best to keep all cases trimmed to same length but not nesisarry unless they are way out of reason.Dont worry its not as hard as it sounds but i dont know of any other way of telling it.
