Well I picked up a tupperware bucket full of moxed dies awhile ago. Just sat down to go thru them all, and found 2 die bodies I can't identify. No markings on anything that I can find. The sliver tube does and ring do thread into what appears to be die bodies. The brass bushing type things also fit in the die bodies. Anyone have a clue of what these are?

Looks like my Hornady custom bullet seating die. Just a guess. Tim:bigsmyl2:

The brass ones, and the dies, are for the Lee powder charging dies.
The brass things go into the dies, the disc measure goes into the hole on top of the die. The measure screws into the die.
I have these. They work great.

The round black thing, the tube and screw on cap, are part of the Lee perfect powder measure auto powder drop. Missing the arm, chain, and I think a spring.
I don't think they make this kit anymore. I have one and remember using it.
Worked good, but I like the disc better.

Looks like parts of the Lee Universal Powder Charging Die, Item 90273, no longer listed on the Lee website. It was supposed to convert the Perfect Powder Measure to make it usable on a progressive press, like the Lee Auto Disk. That would include on of those die bodies, the other one, [shrug].

It is missing a bent wire link and a return chain

I could never get mine to work properly so gave up on the idea.

Probably why Lee dropped the idea and brought out the new Autodrum measure.

Here is the instruction sheet.162252

Thanks! Had absolutely no idea where to even start without any markings at all!
