Abstract: An apparatus for reloading spent ammunition shells includes a plurality of tools supported on a shaft above an elevatable carriage which define a plurality of reloading stations spaced circumferentially about the shaft, one of the stations having a priming tool and a power recharging tool, and a shell holder plate supported on the carriage for coincident vertical movement therewith and adapted for rotation about the shaft and to receive a plurality of separate spent ammunition shells and to position these shells simultaneously and sequentially in different reloading stations.

Abstract: A tool for chamfering the inner and outer peripheral edges of the mouth of an empty cartridge case comprising a hollow body including a cylindrical base and an integral conical head bisected by a blade-receving slot with aligned openings formed therein at its forward end tranversely of the blade-receiving slot, a replaceable V-shaped blade including inner and outer cutting edges disposed in the slot having a pair of tapered legs converging to an apex with a bore formed therethrough in alignment with the openings in the conical head, and a fastening means such as a pin extending through the aligned bore and openings for removable fastening the blade within the blade-receiving slot.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reloading a centerfire cartridge, the apparatus including a resizing die for resizing the cartridge and a single means for forcing a used primer out of the cartridge and for forcing the cartridge out of the resizing die. A flaring tool is then used to flare the cartridge neck and a priming tool is employed to force a primer into the base of the cartridge. Gunpowder is then placed in the cartridge, a new bullet is forced into the cartridge neck, and the cartridge neck is then crimped against the bullet.

Abstract: A centerfire cartridge priming tool intended for hand held use and including a one piece molded tool body and a shell casing holder integrally embedded in an end of the tool body.
