An ammunition press for manufacturing or reloading ammunition cartridges. The ammunition press includes an adjustable shell holder for holding ammunition shells (sometimes called cases) of various sizes. A catch tray is provided for collecting spent primers or other debris. According to a user's preference, the ammunition press can be customized to provide an over-center actuated configuration or a non-over-center actuated configuration. A light is integrated with the press for illuminating the shell holder. Components of the press and associated methods are also disclosed.

A precision ammunition cartridge reaming device employs a body die having an interior cavity into which an ammunition cartridge is insertable through a first end. A reaming tool rotationally powered is insertable into the interior cavity through a second end. Rotation of the reaming tool trims the interior of a neck area of the ammunition to form a concentric surface with the exterior thereof. The distal edge of the cartridge may also be trimmed by the reaming tool to form each sequentially inserted cartridge to an equal length.

A shell reloader device simultaneously performs multiple steps to allow reloading of a plurality of ammunition shells in a reduced time. The shell reloader device includes a press including a fixed section, a linkage, and a handle pivotally coupled to the fixed section. The handle is coupled to the linkage wherein the linkage is moved relative to the fixed section by operation of the handle. A compressor is operationally coupled to the press such that the compressor provides compression to each of a plurality of stations when the handle is operated. Each of the stations holds a respective shell in a position to be acted upon by the compressor for respective associated steps in reloading each shell.

An ammunition case trimmer, components thereof, and associated methods. The ammunition case trimmer includes a shroud and a cutter. The cutter is supported in the shroud by at least one rotational bearing. The shroud defines a case guide for receiving the case and guiding the case into engagement with a cutting head of the cutter. The shroud is rotatable with respect to the cutter about the axis of rotation. A proximal free end of the cutter is arranged with respect to the shroud to permit reception of the proximal free end in a chuck of a drill.
