Abstract
A precision ammunition cartridge reaming device employs a body die having an interior cavity into which an ammunition cartridge is insertable through a first end. A reaming tool rotationally powered is insertable into the interior cavity through a second end. Rotation of the reaming tool trims the interior of a neck area of the ammunition to form a concentric surface with the exterior thereof. The distal edge of the cartridge may also be trimmed by the reaming tool to form each sequentially inserted cartridge to an equal length.

A precision ammunition cartridge reaming apparatus, comprising:
- a body die, said body die having an interior cavity communicating through said interior cavity from a first end thereof to a second end thereof;
- said interior cavity running axially through said body die and having a shape defined by an interior wall surrounding an axis thereof;
- a reaming tool, said reaming tool insertable into said interior cavity at said second end of said body die;
- said reaming tool having a cutting edge located thereon;
- an opening at said first end of said body die forming a path for insertion of an ammunition cartridge into said interior cavity to a mounted position;
- said interior wall of said interior cavity forming a contact against an exterior surface of a neck portion of said ammunition cartridge while in said mounted position;
- said reaming translatable into an interior chamber of said ammunition cartridge surrounded by an interior surface of said neck portion to a cutting position;
- and
- said cutting edge of said reaming tool trimming said interior surface during a rotation of said reaming tool while in said cutting position, thereby forming an interior circumference of said neck portion defined by said interior surface of said neck portion which is concentric with an exterior circumference of said neck portion defined by said exterior surface of said neck portion.
