I have a update to the thread about a Lyman/Ideal 310 muzzel sizer marked 300
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=109737
After talking to Rick at the 310 shop for about a half hour on Wednsday, I decided I would send it in for him to look at. As luck would have it, while looking through a bucket of random rifle brass.......a piece of 300 Savage brass. I threw it in the Dillon tumbler for a couple hours and then ran it up into the 300 marked die. Low and behold we have a 300 Savage muzzel sizer. I took some photos so everybody could have a look.
Rick had said that sometimes that dies could get mismarked or a "rookie" in the Lyman shop could simply mismark a die out of stupidity. But in this case because the die seems of a higher quality, it is likely a custom order.
After sizing, the inside of the neck measured out at .305
You 300 Savage guys might be able to tell if that is normal specs.
Hopes this post is some what informative.
