ABSTRACT:
An automatically-ejecting shell reloading device is provided for handling spent firearm cartridge shells. The apparatus may include a die assembly mounted to receive an upwardly thrust shell. A cylindrical ram element having an upper C-shaped retainer is adapted to receive and hold a vertically-aligned shell, and the device has means for moving the ram element into an upper position, an intermediate shell-receiving position, and a lower shell-ejecting position. An ejection spring is deflected outwardly by the ram element in the intermediate position and is urged against the shell in the lower position to eject the shell laterally from the ram element. In a preferred embodiment, ejection is achieved after resizing by a leaf ejection spring mounted for lateral deflecting movement by the ram element. The device is useful for handling cartridge cases during swaging, depriming, and priming operations.
