ABSTRACT:
A bench mounted, hand operated press used for resizing the brass on shot gun and small arms ammunition prior to reloading. The shell casing resizer comprises a lever-type press mechanism and two indexing resizing dies and features automatic shell ejection and automatic indexing. The shell ejection mechanisms are positioned within each of the resizing dies so as to effectuate ejection of a shell casing by exerting a force on the inner surface thereof. The two resizing dies are positioned in an end to end cooperating relationship with a lever-actuated ram such that while one shell casing is being pressed within one of the dies, another shell casing, already resized, is being ejected from the opposite die. The substantially simultaneous resizing and ejection actions are both the result of a single downward movement of the lever. The resizing die assembly is made rotatable at the junction of the two resizing dies and successively and alternatively rotates each resizing die to its resizing/ejection position in response to a single upward movement of the lever. Automatic indexing is achieved by means of a spring-loaded cam actuated alignment arm. Further, automatic ejection of the resized shell casings is facilitated by a spring-loaded secondary ejector assembly.
