made 'em! |

Though for small numbers of cartridges, you don't need machines to
reload them.
Just something to stand the cartridges up in. A punch to decap used
primers. Something to firmly hold the cases while you press in a new
primer ( With care, an exploding primer is VERY
forceful! Consider using new primed cases!).
Accurate scales and a small funnel for the powder.
A dowel to push the wad(s) in.
Some 'measure by volume' scoops for 0.5 oz or 11/16 oz shot ( or whatever
quantity of shot you are using) and a 'Roll turnover' head in an electric
drill to roll the top of the case onto the top card wad to retain the
shot.
Scales
Accurate scales are a MUST for measuring small charges of powder.
These can be used in conjunction with powder measures using volume (like
Lees inexpensive powder measure
kit, a series of scoop type powder measures)
Good precision powder scales can be obtained from the likes of Lee
, Lyman and RCBS.
Roll Turnover machines ( or Drill Heads )
The MEC and Ponsness/Warren loading machines have star crimp positions
for reclosing the star crimps on, say, Winchester cases.
The majority of cases will require closing with a Cardboard top wad
and a roll turnover.
These roll turnovers can be achieved with a special attachment that
goes in an electric drill and is quickly applied to the open end of
the completed case to roll the open end down onto the top wad.
