Abstract

A die used in a reloading press for reloading spent cartridges. The wall of the die is provided with a reservoir for liquid lubricant. A lubricating pad is provided inside the die mouth and lubricant from the reservoir is channeled to the pad. A primary reloading die feature is provided for the die, e.g. a primer removing rod, and as a cartridge is forced into the die for removal of the primer, it is additionally lubricated ready for resizing.
