Provided is an ammunition case roll sizing apparatus 10 which comprises a base 12 which typically defines a surface 14 along with a case receptacle 16 proximate the surface 14. The base 12 also includes a former 18 protruding from a boundary of the surface 14. The apparatus 10 further comprises a circular disk 20 which is rotatably flat mounted onto the surface 14 of the base 12 so that a case channel 22 is complementarily defined between the disk 20 and the former 18. The disk 20 is operatively rotatable via a rotational actuator 24. Also included is a case feeder 26 configured for operatively receiving a plurality of cases 28 and for feeding a case lengthwise into the case receptacle 16 of the base. Further included is a case pusher 30 which is configured to be operatively actuatable by the rotating disk 20 in order to push a case 28 from the case receptacle 16 into the channel 22 to roll-size the case.

An apparatus for removing spent primers from spent ammunition shell casings includes a body having a shell casing feed channel defining a punch zone and a shell casing feed zone, a guide channel and a shell casing inlet channel intersecting the shell casing feed channel at the shell casing feed zone, a shell casing feed plunger movable axially along the shell casing feed channel from a first position adjacent to the shell casing feed zone to a second position in which the shell casing is moved within the punch zone for removal of the spent primer, a handle assembly movable to drive the shell casing feed plunger from the first position to the second position, and a plunger guide assembly having a length adjustable to correspondingly adjust the travel distance between the first and second positions of the shell casing feed plunger.

An ammunition cartridge case reloading die has a die body defined by an interior bore and a bore opening, and a retention cap attachable to the die body. A cartridge case tool is fixed to the retention cap in axial alignment with the interior bore, and a tip of the cartridge case tool is at a proscribed distance relative to the bore opening. A centering shuttle is in sliding engagement in the interior bore of the die body, and defines a shuttle bore through which the cartridge case tool passes, and a reverse taper opening receptive to the cartridge case. The die may has a biasing element disposed within the interior bore between the centering shuttle and the retention cap, with movement of the centering shuttle within interior bore of the die body being dampened by the biasing element.

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 method and apparatus for truing a cartridge case with an apparatus including a frame defining a chamber and having a central axis, and a cartridge sleeve defining a cartridge passage with a passage surface for engaging the exterior surface of the body of the case, and a tool extending along the central axis of the frame with a tip end extending into the chamber. The frame may include a tool mandrel portion configured to mount the tool on the frame, and a sleeve mandrel portion configured to mount the cartridge sleeve on the frame. The sleeve mandrel portion may permit the cartridge sleeve and a cartridge case mounted thereon to translate with respect to the frame along the central axis of the frame, the sleeve mandrel portion permitting the cartridge sleeve and a cartridge case mounted thereon to rotate about the central axis with respect to the frame.
