ABSTRACT:
The present invention defines a precision primer-reloading assembly to be mounted in and operated by a suitable cartridge-reloading press. The assembly includes a tubular support-body member having a ram rod mounted therein so as to be positioned within the cartridge case at the time the primer is loaded. The support-body member is mounted to the reloading press above and in alignment with a primer-guide assembly which is mounted to the press ram of the reloading press. The guide assembly includes a guide base having a primer-guide pin. A coil spring is positioned on the guide base so as to engage the guide housing that is slidably mounted over the guide base, the guide housing being formed with a closed end having a centrally positioned recess. This recess is provided to support and align the cartridge case with the ram rod, whereby the primer can be loaded in the primer pocket of the case by means of the primer pin as the ram rod is activated. One or more shim members are provided to allow the primer to be selectively positioned at a predetermined location within the primer pocket.
