ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for resizing rifle cartridge cases comprising the die fixedly positioned with respect to a frame and a ram operated by a lever mechanism adapted to raise a case into a resizing cavity within the die. A punch is loosely supported in the die and includes an extractor pin at one end for removing the primer from the head of the rifle case. The die is covered by a head cap including a threaded stem adapted to abut against the punch. The head cap includes a lateral flange adapted to be engaged by levers for forcing the punch against the head of the case when the case is to be removed from the die. The punch also includes an expansion sleeve for resizing the neck of the cartridge as the case is extracted from the die and an expanded end of the punch loosely suspends the punch within the die when the case has been removed.
