Abstract
Abstract An attachment for dispensing shot and powder in conjunction with a shell reloading tool is disclosed. The invention is intended for use with those types of reloading machines which sequentially dispense shot and powder into a number of shells being progressively reloaded on the work table of the reloading machine. The device includes a frame mounted on the reloading machine and has a series of pivotable members which carry the shot and powder bottles. A sliding bar operatively connected to the actuating mechanism of the loading machine dispenses the shot and powder into the shells being reloaded at the appropriate time. The sliding bar includes a series of removable bushings which permit rapid change over to the dispensing of different amounts of powder and shot.
