This is a long shot, but I thought I would ask. I have had a few Belding & Mull Model 26 bullet seating and crimping dies through the years. It is shown in the B&M catalog in Castpics. It looks somewhat like the old Lee Loaders.
I have had one for the 45ACP for just about forever, primarily because it is missing one of the three pieces. The missing piece is called the base (it looks like a really thick washer). Here is what the catalog says about it: "The base is recessed on one side. This side is used when seating the bullet. The unrecessed side is used when crimping."
Of course, buying the piece would be nice, but if anyone has one they can measure, I have the tools that I could try to use to make it. I would need a sketch with inside & outside dimensions, depth of recess, and overall depth. From memory, I seem to remember that there was a center hole that went all the way through. If so, that diameter, too.
If anyone has anything, please let me know.
