    摘要: A progressive press for loading or reloading ammunition casings has a base containing a reversible press motor with speed control, and vertically-oriented nuts mechanically connected to the motor and having vertically-oriented power screws extending from the nuts. The screws are affixed to a tool head which can receive dies and other tools for loading and/or reloading ammunition casings. A rotatable shell plate receives ammunition casings and advances the casings through a series of operations performed by different dies and other tools. Using a control system, the press motor can be operated to extend the screws and lift the tool head when the shell plate is advanced, and to retract the screws and tool head to perform operations on the casings when the shell plate is stationary.

    摘要: The tracer projectile having a closure disk assembly is described. The tracer projectile includes a projectile base with a tracer cavity formed therein. A pyrotechnic charge is pressed into the tracer cavity and is ignitable by burning propellant such that a trajectory of the projectile is visible when fired. A closure disk assembly covers and seals the tracer cavity. A crown of the closure disk assembly is supported on a ring flange formed by an annular groove in the projectile base. A sidewall of the closure disk assembly surrounds the ring flange. A retaining element is disposed in the annular groove and engages a rim of the closure disk assembly for securing the closure disk assembly to the projectile base over the tracer cavity.

    摘要: Provided is ammunition decapping apparatus 10 comprising a decapping platform 12, a case receptacle 14, a die gantry 40 arranged over the decapping platform 12 and including a reciprocating die mount 42, and a case feeder 46 configured to operatively feed a case upright onto the decapping platform 12. Also included is a case urger 48 configured to urge a case fed from the case feeder 46 into the case receptacle 14, and an actuator arrangement 50 configured to actuate the case urger 48 and die mount 42 so that a case is fed into the decapping receptacle 14 and a die 44 mounted in the die mount 42 is able to decap the case.
