A shell plate for being indexed in angular steps is on a carrier which is, in turn, mounted to the upper end of the reloader ram. Indexer rod engageable elements such as cylindrical equiangularly spaced apart pins project downwardly from the bottom of the shell plate. An indexer rod is carried in the shell plate carrier. When the ram is driven to nearly its lowermost position, the manual operating lever is near the end of its swing at which time it abuts the indexer rod for the latter to engage one of the pins to rotate the shell plate. The indexer rod is retracted and reset by having it slide down a guide track from the uppermost position of the ram and the guide track is angulated in part to be engaged by the rod and retracted. The reloader is distinguished by indexing the shell plate only when the ram is within a few millimeters of its lowermost limit. The reloader also features an improved device for inserting primers in shells and an inserter for inserting shells into the indexable shell plate for being reloaded. The shell inserter is especially designed for working with a reloader wherein the shell plate indexes when the ram is very near its lower limit the design provides for inserting the shell in the shell plate when the ram has begun to move upward again at which time substantial force is available from the manual operating lever.
