ABSTRACT:
A feed hopper for shell casings for use with a cartridge loading machine. The hopper is in the form of a container having curving interior surfaces, the surfaces extending to a feed aperture at the bottom of the hopper connected to a feed tube. Preferably the hopper is of hemispherical shape. The hopper has a transverse member positioned diametrically across it over the aperture to prevent a casing from being dropped into it so that it could fall into the feed tube with its open end down. The configuration of the hopper causes the casings to feed steadily with the rim down into the aperture and the feed tube.
