Reloading Rifle Ammunition 
How to Alter Reloading Tools in order to Get 
Better Results 
By GILBERT S. THOMPSON 
N explaining the device, for seat- 
ing and crimping bullets in shell, 
which appears in the illustration, 
I wish to say first, that it will take - 
some gift of genius to construct this 
properly. You will see from the illus- 
tration, that the principal component 
part in this device is simply a lubri- 
cating tool, which is made by all man- 
ufacturers of loading tools, and is a 
very important unit, in an outfit for 
reloading rifle ammunition. The only 
thing necessary to do, in order to con- 
vert it into a bullet seating and crimp- 
ing tool, is to lengthen the bar, that is 
attached to the handle, about 1% 
inches, either by making a new one, or 
by attaching this 1% inch piece to the 
bar already in the tool. 
Next remove the sizing die, and make 
one out of hickory the same size, and 
make a hole through it just large 
enough to take the shell you want to 
use, and. be sure the shell fits perfectly 
tight at the top. Then take the seating 
of crimping block from any loading 
tool, and screw it in to the bottom end 
of the wood, letting the small end rest 
in the hollow center pin, that screws in 
the cross bar at the bottom, as shown 
in illustration. 
THIS pin will enable you to adjust 
the crimp anywhere you like, by 
screwing it up or down. The top part is 
made from a % round iron, with the 
upper end made small enough to fit the 
hole, that the top punch goes into. The 
bottom end must be drilled out, so the 
base of the shell will just fit into it. 
This part must be made perfect enough, 
so it will hold the shell in perfect align- 
It will identify you.

ment with the Chamber below. <A 
spring can be attached to the side, to 
extract the shell, and it is complete. 
OW I anticipate that my readers 
will say, why be to all this trouble, 
of taking the parts of one loading tool 
to make another. This question is rea- 
sonable, and I will try to answer it. 
In the first place I wish to say, that 
I presume only those that want the 
best, and are the most anxious for a 
high score at the range, will take ad- 
vantage of this superior device, for seat- 
ing bullets in their shells. Any one who 
has used any of the reloading tools 
manufactured to-day, knows that when 
a shell is placed in the crimping or 
seating chamber of the loading tool, it 
does not fit, until the shell has been
