ABSTRACT:
A ring having a plurality of successive receptacles revolves around a flat disc within a containment wall holding a plurality of randomly piled conical bullets. The disc and receptacles are inclined with the upper edge of the disc being positioned closely adjacent the downward end of the receptacles and slightly above the lower surfaces of the receptacles so that bullets carried by the receptacles past the edge of the disc will be held within the receptacles. The disc is recessed to have a lower surface well below the center line of the bullets within the receptacles and a beveled cam raises the bullet so that bullets having their conical noses facing the edge will slide from the receptacles back into the pile but bullets with their cylindrical ends facing the disc will engage the lower surface of the recess of the disc and continue to be held in the receptacles. At a further downstream position a second recess is provided with its lower surface below the lower surface of the receptacles so that all of the bullets will fall from the receptacles in a commonly axially aligned column. These bullets are collected in a removable tube which is then used for feeding the bullets in a loading machine. Springs are provided to sweep badly misaligned or piles of bullets from the receptacles prior to reaching the recesses.
