ABSTRACT:
A manually operable, bench mounted press used to resize the brass on shotgun and small arms ammunition prior to reloading. The shell casing resizer comprises a lever-operated ram which acts simultaneously on a pair of complementary resizing dies and ejector assemblies so as to resize one shell while another is being ejected. The resizing dies are formed at opposite ends of a rotating tubular member within which are also positioned the complementary ejector assemblies. An indexing cam is mounted to the outside of the tubular member so as to pivot therewith between the free ends of a pair of support arms of the press. The substantially simultaneous resizing and ejection actions are both the result of a single downward movement of the lever, and return of the lever to its initial position permits manual indexing of the tubular member until the next shell is aligned for the next resizing/ejection stroke.
