Abstract

A multi-station cartridge reloading press that includes a drive mechanism for a powder measure for reloading spent cartridge cases. A case detecting arm engages a drive rod to operate the powder measure only when a case is present in the powder loading station. A quick change collar mounted on the powder measure is utilized in the initial setup to adjust the operating position of the rod relative to the arm. The collar also establishes a reference position for the powder measure permitting the removal and installation of the powder measure without further adjustment.
