Down to Kittery this evening with a few friends. They sell a lot of used reloading equipment, and tonight they had more moulds than I'd EVER seen before. Borrowed a set of dial calipers and settled down to go thru the pile.
Picked up a Lee 180gr 30 mould for $10, and was very thrilled to find a 2 cav RCBS 454424 brand new in the box for $35. Been looking for that one.
But the really interesting one I found was like nothing I'd ever seen. Its like somebody left a 310 tong tool and a single cavity Ideal mould in a room together to long and funky stuff happened.
It had Marlin marked on it, and it had a single cavity 405 grain 45-70 mould at the end, and the handles looked almost exactly like a 310 tong tool, except with no dies. I don't know if regular 310 dies would work or if they were something special as well.
It was neat, but I didn't think it was neat enough to warrant the $75 they were asking for it, so I passed. Anyone seen one of these before?
