I already posted this on the Vintage Reloading gear but I thought it would be a good idea to post it hear since it relates.

So I bought a Winchester reloading tool at an antique store today. It was pretty cheap. I already own one, in 40-82. The problem that I have with this one is that I don't know what caliber it is. It casts .449 diameter bullets. ( Keep in mind i didnt wash is at the time of casting so it was full of rust.) My best guess is 45-70 from the little research iv'e done.

Il try to add images of both reloading tools if I figure out how.
