I measured the ram on the SAS Mity Mite - it's ~.811". Maybe that .875" ram is for one of the similar Corbin Silver Presses? The die and ram design look very much like the style seen on those earlier...

Thanks! I'll get some more stuff up soon!

I realized I modified the knurling a little bit from the original design - I'll need to shrink that and have a little more space for the 7/8x14 threads on the die body.

I don't have a lathe or mill, but I do have a burning desire to make swaging tools one day. I got bored one evening and I thought it might be good to start 3D modeling some to get practice...

Nice find! Some of the dies look like they're off of Bahler and Astles sets.

Thanks! That makes sense - I did find some dies marked 'AA EASTON'. I think some were typical reloading dies, others were for case forming. I'll put some more pictures up soon.

Has anyone ever seen a set like this before?
It seems to be a core seating die in .308, a .308 point former, and a slightly larger than .308 (.312 maybe?) point former. All 3 dies thread nicely...

Wow! Thanks! You're more than welcome to post them up.

Yeap!- My punch looks like its adapted for dunbar/hollywood presses

Thanks!
I might try a few annealed (once I get the means to do it). The die inside is a very gradual taper, then the last 3/8 portion is a straight neck - a hard squeeze for the jacket. That bit...

I'm using an unmodified Lee Classic Cast press (single stage). The supplied punch's base reaches the mouth of the derimming die. The punch can unscrew from the shellholder.

Thanks! Still no dice on feeding them one after another - it always crushes the case. So I just took the slow route, used the short punch to derim (it has good leverage for it's length), and a long...

Does anyone who uses this die know if you're supposed to push the jacket all the way through in one go? Also, do you anneal before or after derimming on this equipment? I'm using the RCBS 22 cal...
