ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for use with a conventional shell reloading machine of the type represented by the well-known "Hornady 366 Auto Reloader" commercial machine, such apparatus comprising a carrier holding a plurality of storage tubes filled with respective columns of replacement primers, the carrier being adapted for mounting on the superstructure of the machine in upstanding position so that each tube can be positioned, in turn, relative to that operating station of the machine that is normally occupied by a single such tube for discharging its replacement primers into receiving shells carried therebelow by a turntable of the machine. Removable hitchpins or the like at the bottoms of the respective storage tubes in the carrier prevent the descent by gravity of the respective columns of replacement primers. The hitchpin is removed from the bottom of each storage tube that is placed into primer-discharging position. The carrier is preferably adapted to be rotatably mounted on the machine for rotation in common of the so assembled storage tubes as they are sequentially moved into primer discharging position.
