Looks to be complete and ready to go.
I use the same tool.
Hint: solidly mount it on an angle between 45 degrees and vertical. This will enable the bullet to sit in the cradle between the rollers and on top of the depth adjusting screw.
Use enough pressure to make the groove, not so muc to deform the slug, or you will have to resize one more time.
Go around one complete rotation of the bullet. More and it may try to wander. You want a crimping groove, not a spiral.
Good luck,
Bob

As Bob said, it's complete. Mine is mounted vertically on the end of my bench and is very convenient there. I added cannelures to just over 800 newly swaged .44 caliber bullets just this evening.

By the way, if you decide to sell the one you have, let me know. A good friend is looking for one.

Hope this helps.

I would love to have one but they don't go big enough for my needs.

There've been a couple on ebay in recent months - but you've got to be careful. Both the ones I saw ended above the price new from Corbin. Sometimes auction fever makes people do silly things - like pay more than new/retail.

I saw those on ebay. The last one sold for about $20.00 more than a new one costs from CH-4D. It must be some kind of affliction that makes people not research what they're buying....

Exactly, Fred! I have taken to watching things on the "bay" just for the entertainment value.
Then again, there is an occasional bargain.

I wouldnt mind trading it for a 311041 mould

[ReloaderFred]

I'll see if I've got one. I have roughly 100 molds, so I'll have to go through them to see.

the screw between rollers looks to come up. It should be an Allen that goes down so you can adjust from top I use a 22 cal cup check to keep lube out of allen hole and it also lets the boolit spin and not drag

Nope, I don't have a Lyman 311041 mold. Got a couple of others, but not that one.
