This followed me home from Texas last week. It originally came out of an estate so I am sure there is a seating die that goes with it, at least I assume so.

It is a 30BR neck size and decapping die. It uses a bushing for the neck and a 310 die decapper rod. The thread size is.671" x 20 tpi.
The die is well made, and a good use of the Tong tool.

But, who made it?????

I think Seeley Masker is right, apparently it was a common modification. Another name mentioned is C. Hart. Then there is the caliber, I need to do some measuring to figure it out. It looks like 30BR with an overstrike. But, It could be a 30 HBR, a cartridge I had not heard of before this.

Ken, you might slip over to the benchrest.com site and ask around. I got good help from them when I first started looking for historical info about the Culver Conversion and it’s clones.

I saw pictures of a similar setup to yours somewhere but didn’t realize it’s significance at the time. It does look pretty interesting now that you’ve identified its purpose.

Mr Frog Person, I have been on Shooters Forum and they ID'd it and the caliber, that I had never heard of before. It is used with a Wilson seater for reloading at the range or during a match.

And, yes I think I remember seeing a picture of it at one time or another. It's nice to have one in hand.

There was a unit like that on Ebay last month. I didn't think much of it at the time, but it looked just like the item you posted.

Bruno Shooting Supply made modified tong tools like this to take the Wilson Bushings. Thanks
