Thanks for the replies. I'll have to look through some of the bullets that were in the box with the tool and see if any of them are hollow point.

I assume the top one is reloading related because I found it in a box of reloading tools.

Those look great. How do they shoot? I had a friend who bought a Mauser at a small store in his home town for really cheap. He even got some rounds for it that looked like they were loaded in WWII....

Thanks Bent Ramrod. I'll pull the set out this weekend and see if I have all the right pieces. I have also found out that each piece is marked with numbers, so I can be sure that all the pieces go...

Forum: Gas Checks
I found two boxes of gas checks made by the company Sierra Manufacturing Co. in green boxes. Anyone know how old these might be? They are for 8mm and 30 caliber.
Thanks for all the information about these tools. It has helped me to know a little more about the ones that I have.
How do you know what number the tool is? I have seen them with the caliber stamped on them but haven't seen any other numbers?
Thanks Floodgate. It is good to date the tool. The "44 SPE" is the stamp on the handle. The 14 is just my numbering system of pieces.
I count five dies with my set but I am unsure if one of the...
I have a few 310 sets. Not sure if they are what you all might be looking.

Is this a 310 Lyman tool? I think it is but the box is too worn to read if it said 310 on it or not.

Don't know if this tells you much but it is an interesting box of primers.http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/312136_558757699457_152600384_31370219_3477513_n.jpg
The crimper I have is blank as well. Surprising that some tools don't have any markings at all.
