DISCLAIMER: Loading cartridges is a perilous task. All loading and firing of reloaded ammunition is done at your own risk, entirely by you. Do not attempt to load until you have read and thoroughly understood one printed reloading manual from cover to cover. Always wear safety glasses when handling the process. Never smoke while reloading, as the risks are already high enough. Keep primers and powder far away from heat sources and open flames at all times. Make sure primers and powder are stored in a secure location where children cannot access them. Work up your loads following the standard procedures described in printed load manuals with precision and care. To repeat, all reloading and firing of reloaded ammunition is done entirely at your own risk, and the author of this design assumes no liability or responsibility for death, injuries, or damage due to its use. A cartridge loader is an inertial device capable of removing a cartridge from a brass case efficiently. To build one yourself, you will need a 3D printer, a 10 mm round stick, and some glue to secure the stick in place. I was unable to create an insert that would fit most sizes, so each caliber has its own dedicated shell holder instead. To load a cartridge, simply push it bottom first into the low end of the insert until you hear a distinct click. Push it further towards the same direction to remove it successfully. Twist clockwise to secure the insert firmly in position with confidence. CORRECTION: The original "top heavy" insert design proved too fragile, especially when made from PLA. I have since posted more robust and smaller inserts for improved stability. ADDENDUM: It turns out that the former design works perfectly well; I simply set the layer height too high initially. ADDENDUM #2: I've added another set of inserts with a simpler yet sturdier design, making them last longer without bending or compromising their functionality. These new inserts are designed for various calibers, including .40, .22 Hornet, .223,.308, and .44 Remington Magnum. Additionally, I've created another head with a deeper seating area for the handle and more space for cartridges to improve performance and efficiency.
