Shot shell reloading

A single step crimping device whose tubular crimping sleeve is characterized of design of which said sleeve is capable of and with the aid of self contained primary crimping deflectors initiate creases to said lips of said casings,

• a said sleeve whose character of design of upper interior will deflect said initiated crimp to center axis of said casing,
• a said sleeve of characteristics in design of which allows employment of elongated compression plunger whose abutting face of force is pluralized of crimping ridges of which cooperate and mate with said primary crimping deflectors of said sleeve,
• a said sleeve whose character in design allows to admit a said compression plunger whose pluralized face of mating and cooperating ridges aid to finalize initiated crimp of said casing upon actuation of said reloading press,
• a said sleeve whose character of design allows usage of heavy compression spring of which employs precise resistence to said casing and said plunger in which to initiate and to finalize said crimp to said lips of said casing,
• a said crimping sleeve characterized in design of which assembled with mating and cooperating parts thereof is capable of initiating and finalizing the said crimp to said lips of said casing whose characteristics of material and state of material include, new plastic, new paper, used plastic and used paper, upon actuation of said reloading press.

A single step crimping device of tubular design of which employs an elongated compression plunger wherein said plunger is utilized to aid the final crimp to the lips of a shot shell casing,

• a said plunger whose elongated section therein is capable of accepting for utilization thereof a keyway of which allows reciprocal action and prevents rotation of said plunger when engaged with mating and cooperating minature key of crimping sleeve, a said plunger whose abutting surface is pluralized of evenly spaced crimping ridges of which mate and cooperate with primary crimping deflectors of said crimping sleeve,
• a said plunger characterized of design to allow an upward mounted spring retaining collar,
• a said plunger characterized in design to fix said crimping device upwardly to adaptable support means of said reloading press,
• a said plunger when assembled with mating and cooperating parts of said crimping device will aid the final crimp to said lips of said casing whose characteristics of material and whose state of material include, new plastic, new paper, used plastic and used paper upon actuation of said reloading press.

A progressive reloading press characterized of design to comprise a rotating shell carrier plate designated as receiver index plate wherein said index plate is centrally fixed to lower platen,

• a said index plate herein centrally fixed to lower platen by means of a single quick action pivot screw,
• a said index plate comprising of design, four slots for carrying shot shell casings to respective operations,
• a said index plate whose shot shell casing slot sidewalls are tapered uppward and outward,
• a said index plate whose said slots are capable of receiving down and open end of resizing die through said slots for which said resizing die reforms extractor rim of said casings,
• a said index plate of which allows resizing die to full length resize said casing thereof upon actuation of said reloading press,
• a said index plate whose said casing carrying slots are capable of admitting a portion of said resizing die of which said resizing die is allowed to reform to factory specifications the extractor rim of said casings,
• a said index plate therein is capable of extracting said casing from said resizing die after said resizing die has resized said casing and reformed said extractor rim of said casing.

A progressive reloading press comprised of characteristics in design to employ a shot shell casing resizer of tubular design and self contained construction of which ejects spent primer simultaneously with resizing operation,

• a said resizing die of tubular embodiment of which is uppwardly fixed to upper platen support, said die being a part of a plurality of dies,
• a said resizing die of which one end is open and downward, said die being capable to admit and precisly resized to factory specifications a said casing,
• a said resizing die whose downward and open end is comprised of an uppward and outward taper,
• a said resizing die whose extreme open and downward end is comprised of a short resizing section of which is admitted inside said casing carrying slots of receiver index plate,
• a said resizer whose short section of said resizer is capable of reforming to factory specifications said extractor rim of said casing.
