I use mine all the time, but I reload for enjoyment, not speed.

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.
I use tong tools to load for a number of my single-shot rifles. They produce fine ammo, they just aren't quick.

Collecting .32 molds. Please let me know if you have one you don't need, cause I might "need" it!
I've been gathering and accumulating (I hesitate to dignify what I do by calling it "collecting") old Lyman and Ideal stuff, especially all things 310. I must admit that I don't use my 310 tongs as much as I used to, but do use the dies in one of my TruLine Jr presses a bit more. If you are looking for high volume production or for heavy sizing and other functions of that sort, these are not the tools for you, but if you want to do a little casual reloading that just works the brass a minimal amount and makes good shootable ammo, the 310 tools soldier on as their ancestors did over 100 years ago.
