Abstract: A stamping apparatus is provided for producing an ammunition tray from metal sheet template with interleaving parallel cutouts in conjunction with a shop press. The apparatus includes upper and lower tray dies, upper and lower binders, and a pair of bolsters. Each die has opposite external and internal sides. The external side has a depression pocket. The internal side has a die impression to shape the template. Each binder has a cavity. The tray dies are disposed between the binders. The bolsters are disposed for engaging the shop press to apply compressive force. Each bolster correspondingly inserts through the cavity and into the depression pocket. The template is disposed between lower and upper internal sides of respective the dies. The shop press applies compression to the bolsters for stamping the template by the dies into the ammunition tray.
