ABSTRACT:
An accessory for retrofitting a shotgun shell reloader to convert the reloader to one capable of reloading shell casings with two different sizes of shot. The accessory has a funnel gear which replaces a shot gear and a shot bushing on the reloader. The remainder of the accessory attaches to a shot baffle provided on the reloader, thereby replacing a shot tube provided on the reloader. A base of the accessory secures to the shot baffle and a collar opening communicates between the shot baffle located below the base and a rotatable flattened cylinder located above the base. The flattened cylinder is reciprocated by an accessory arm which secures to a reciprocating lever on the reloader. An accessory top assembly secures to the base thereby sandwiching the flattened cylinder therebetween. The accessory top assembly is provided with first and second shot collars, which communicate through the accessory top assembly to allow, respectively, small and large size shot, contained separately inside first and second shot tubes which are secured, respectively, to the first and second shot collars, to fall downward onto the flattened cylinder.
The flattened cylinder is provided with two openings which communicate therethrough and can alternatively be aligned vertically with the collar opening as the flattened cylinder reciprocates. When the first shot opening aligns vertically with the collar opening, the second shot opening aligns vertically with the second shot collar, and when the second shot opening aligns vertically with the collar opening, the first shot opening aligns vertically with the first shot collar.
