Shotgun Shell Loading Block Device

Abstract

A shotgun shell loading block device is provided. The device may be comprised of a base, a central block, and at least one outside block. The central and outside block have recessed areas which, when the blocks are placed together, form a cylindrical opening that can hold at least one shotgun shell vertically. The blocks may be connected using a rod and fastener. As a result, a user can load a plurality of shells vertically into the blocks. Then, a user can load the shells and quickly and easily crimp roll the shells (while they remain secured between the blocks) using a drill or other similar tool.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shotgun shell loading block device comprising:
 a central block comprised of a first recessed area and a first opening;   an outside block comprised of a second recessed area and a second opening; and   a rod.   
     
     
         2 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 1 , wherein the first recessed area is comprised of a half-cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         3 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 1 , wherein the second recessed area is comprised of a half-cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         4 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 1 , wherein the rod is comprised of a threaded rod. 
     
     
         5 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 1  further comprised of a fastener. 
     
     
         6 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 5 , wherein the fastener is comprised of a wing nut. 
     
     
         7 . A shotgun shell loading block device comprising:
 a base comprised of a bottom wall and a side wall;   a central block comprised of a first recessed area and a first opening;   an outside block comprised of a second recessed area and a second opening; and   a rod.   
     
     
         8 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 7 , wherein the side wall is perpendicular to the bottom wall. 
     
     
         9 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 7 , wherein the first recessed area is comprised of a half-cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         10 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 7 , wherein the second recessed area is comprised of a half-cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         11 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 7 , wherein the rod is comprised of a threaded rod. 
     
     
         12 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 7  further comprised of a fastener. 
     
     
         13 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 12 , wherein the fastener is comprised of a wing nut. 
     
     
         14 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 7 , wherein the central block is comprised of a first opening. 
     
     
         15 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 14 , wherein the first opening is comprised of a threaded opening. 
     
     
         16 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 7 , wherein the outside block is comprised of a second opening. 
     
     
         17 . The shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 16 , wherein the second opening is comprised of a threaded opening. 
     
     
         18 . A method of using a shotgun shell loading block device, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing a shotgun shell loading block device comprised of a central block comprised of a first recessed area, an outside block comprised of a second recessed area, and a rod;   positioning the outside block near the central block such that the first recessed area and the second recessed area are spaced apart and a shotgun shell can be placed in between the same;   inserting and securing the rod through the outside block and into the central block to move the outside block toward the central block;   placing a load in the shotgun shell; and   placing a rotary tool on the shotgun shell and crimping the shotgun shell.   
     
     
         19 . The method of using a shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 18  further comprised of securing a fastener on the rod. 
     
     
         20 . The method of using a shotgun shell loading block device of  claim 19 , wherein the fastener is comprised of a wing nut.
