ABSTRACT:
A seating die that is suitable for use in a cartridge reloading press of the type common employed by marksmen for reloading ammunition. The die includes a retainer housing that is adapted for mounting in the stationary head of the press opposite a coacting movable press ram. An outer guide member is slidably contained within the retainer housing that moves between a home position and a stop position. The guide member has a contoured lower chamber for receiving a shell casing therein the lower communicates with a smaller upper chamber adapted to receive a bullet therein. A second inner guide member is slidably contained in the bullet chamber and is also arranged to move independently within the outer guide member between a home position and a stop position. The inner guide member has a recess formed in its bottom wall for engaging the nose section of a bullet as it enters the bullet chamber. As the ram moves the bullet and the casing into the die, both become firmly seated in their respective chambers. Further movement of the ram causes the inner guide member to contact a first stop, thus arresting the upward motion of the bullet. The shell casing, however, is permitted to continue its upward progress until the outer guide member contacts a second stop at which time the bullet is well seated within the neck of the bullet.
