1. An ammunition reloading system, comprising:
a motor;
a power transmission assembly configured to mechanically couple to the motor and to a control segment of an ammunition reloading press to enable the motor to power operation of the ammunition reloading press through one or more press stroke cycles;
one or more sensors configured to be associated with the ammunition reloading press, the one or more sensor comprising (i) a press position sensor configured to associate with the control segment of the ammunition reloading press, and (ii) one or more reloading component sensors;
a control system communicatively couplable to the motor and the one or more sensors, the control system being configured to
receive input from the one or more sensors indicative of (i) press position as determined by measured position of the control segment, and (ii) status of one or more reloading components, and
based at least in part on the input received from the one or more sensors, send one or more operational instructions to the motor to cause an output shaft of the motor to oscillate continuously and thereby enable continuous oscillatory actuation of the ammunition reloading press.
