Seating of a primer

Abstract

An apparatus, system, computer-readable medium, process, or combination thereof to seat a primer in a projectile casing. For example, a primer may be seated according to a depth measured, at least in part, from a bottom of a projectile casing. A user, programmer, or control can seat, place, adjust, or otherwise determine a setting to seat a primer in a projectile casing, such as seating at a depth measured from a projectile casing bottom. A method to seat a primer in a projectile casing using a depth measured from a base of a projectile casing.

         16 . A system to position a primer in a projectile casing, the system comprising:
 a primer seating component to hold a projectile casing to a first base,
 wherein the projectile casing includes a second base and a primer pocket to hold a primer, 
 wherein the primer pocket has a first depth, 
 wherein the second base is opposite a neck of the projectile casing; 
   a primer queue component to feed one or more primers into one or more projectile casings and to align the one or more primers with the primer pocket;   a positioning mechanism to press the primer into the primer pocket to a second depth,
 wherein the second depth is based, at least in part, on indexing of the positioning mechanism from the second base of the projectile casing, 
 wherein the second depth is less than the first depth, and 
   wherein the positioning mechanism includes a blocking component that is to prevent the primer from moving past the second depth,   wherein the positioning mechanism is configured to position the primer in the primer pocket based, at least in part, on indexing from the second base of the projectile casing;   a lever coupled to the positioning mechanism to move the positioning mechanism to cause the primer to be pressed into the primer pocket to the second depth; and   a casing extractor to remove the projectile casing including the primer into an area to pick up the projectile casing including the primer.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , where the system further comprises:
 memory storing instructions that, when performed by one or more processors, cause the system to automatically move the primer into the primer pocket.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 16 , where the system further comprises:
 a casing placement component, and   a casing extractor.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the system further comprises:
 a control panel including one or more control buttons to receive input from a user, wherein at least one of the control buttons causes the positioning mechanism to move or a portion within the positioning mechanism to move.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the positioning mechanism comprises an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, the outer cylinder configured to engage the base of the projectile casing, wherein a surface of the outer cylinder includes the blocking component. 
     
     
         21 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein moving the positioning mechanism to press the primer into the primer pocket causes the primer to crush a predetermined amount based, at least in part, on the first depth and the second depth. 
     
     
         22 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the positioning mechanism comprises an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, wherein the inner cylinder is a first cylinder that is to move freely within the outer cylinder until the first cylinder extends from the outer cylinder at a set length. 
     
     
         23 . A system to position a primer in a projectile casing, the system comprising:
 a base component to receive a primer seating component, the primer seating component to hold a projectile casing,
 wherein the projectile casing is to include a base and a primer pocket to receive a primer, 
 wherein the primer pocket is to include a first depth extending from the base to an end surface of the primer pocket, 
 wherein the primer seating component includes one or more threads to screw into the base component, 
   one or more blocking components attachable to the base component to prevent the primer from moving past a second depth in the primer pocket based, at least in part, on indexing from the base of the projectile casing, wherein the second depth is less than the first depth; and   a positioning mechanism configured to position the primer in the primer pocket.   
     
     
         24 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein the positioning mechanism includes a lever that when moved causes the primer to move into the primer pocket. 
     
     
         25 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein the one or more blocking components include adjustable height mechanisms. 
     
     
         26 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein the one or more blocking components are moveable to adjust the second depth based, at least in part, on the indexing from the base of projectile casing. 
     
     
         27 . The system of  claim 26 , wherein the one or more blocking components are set screws. 
     
     
         28 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein the system is attachable to a primer press. 
     
     
         29 . The system of  claim 28 , wherein the base component is attachable to the primer press. 
     
     
         30 . A system, comprising:
 a primer seating component to secure a casing while a primer is inserted into a primer pocket of the casing;   a base component to secure the primer seating component to a primer press that is to push the primer into the primer pocket, the primer seating component to hold the casing,   wherein the primer seating component includes one or more threads to screw into the base component; and   one or more blocking components to prevent the primer from moving past a depth in the primer pocket based, at least in part, on indexing from the base of the casing, wherein the depth is less than total depth of the primer pocket.   
     
     
         31 . The system of  claim 30 , wherein the one or more blocking components include one or more screws. 
     
     
         32 . The system of  claim 30 , wherein the base component is attachable to a primer press. 
     
     
         33 . The system of  claim 30 , wherein the primer seating component and base component are concentric. 
     
     
         34 . The system of  claim 30 , wherein the primer seating component and base component form a central opening to receive the casing.
