Abstract
A loading device with a rammer, arranged for coupling with ammunition bases, exhibiting a transport and coupling segment. The coupling segment exhibits a plurality of grippers with claws adapted to engage an undercut base of ammunition. The bearing member for the grippers is movable with respect to the transport segment with a first limit position, corresponding to the maximum distance of the bearing member from the transport segment. The bearing member has a stop element for fixing the position of the bearing member relative to the ammunition base. After the rammer is moved against the base the transport segment is moved toward the coupling segment. The grippers are moved out of their rest positions assumed by the action of a resetting mechanism, and into their gripping positions against the edge of the base of the ammunition by an actuating member.
