ABSTRACT:
A reloading apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support for supporting a casing and a casing feed station for placing the casing on the support. The apparatus also includes a primer removal station for resizing the casing and removing a spent primer from the casing. The apparatus further includes an expanding station for enlarging a diameter of a mouth of the casing. The apparatus still further includes a primer insertion station for inserting a charged primer into the casing. The apparatus also includes a gunpowder dispensing station for dispensing a quantity of gunpowder into the casing. The apparatus further includes a bullet setting station for setting a bullet into the casing so as to form a cartridge. The bullet setting station includes a bullet aligner for positioning a bullet adjacent the mouth of the casing, and a plunger. The plunger is movable between a first plunger position and a second plunger position. The plunger contacts the bullet so as to advance the bullet into the mouth of the casing when the plunger is moved from the first plunger position to the second plunger position. The apparatus further includes a crimping station for advancing the bullet a distance into the casing and reducing the diameter of the mouth of the casing. The apparatus yet further includes an ejection station for ejecting the cartridge from the support. A method of reloading a casing is also disclosed.
