    Thumbs up Can you help identify these dies?

    I think got these at a yard sale recently. I thought htat they were all swaging tools and I wanted to learn that skill. Now, I think they may be mainly early, maybe home made, push through sizing dies.

    Most of them will slide into the nrmal 7/8 top of my RCBS Rock Chucker, and be held in place by a nut on top. Two of them thread into the same press.

    The ones that I am pretty sure are swaging dies have no means of getting the swaged bullet out of the die??????

    As you can tell, this is an area of vast ignorance on my part. Can you help shead some light?
