Rainy day question - I have a black aluminum Lyman marked 310 tong tool and I do not know how to tell if it is a large or a small. It could be either because I got it with several die sets, both rifle and pistol. Is there a measurement or feature that will tell me which size I have ? Best regards, Hunter

The length of the "nozzle" that you screw the dies into is ~ 0.5" long on the handguns sets and ~ 0.9" long on the rifle sets.
Measurement is from the outside edge of the handle arm to the top edge of the nozzle.

Great, exactly what I needed to know. The nozzle is only 7/16" tall with a total threaded length of about 1". That makes my tool a size small. Thank you for the information KTW. Best regards, Hunter
