Dug out my Lyman All American shot shell die set from about 1960. Back in the day of Herco, AL-5 and Red Dot powders, and Air wedge and Felton Blue Streak wads, I loaded literally thousands of rounds with it. It was taken care of and is still in great condition. As can be expected, the instruction papers have been lost.

Can anyone help source a copy of the instruction papers for me? My email address in my profile.

Thank you for taking time to help me out on this.

I'll do some digging ...
Here is a setup by step I did for the All American shot shell die set.

Scott, thanks for answering my inquiry. Based on the reference to your previous topic posting, I do confirm that I have kept up with all of the set -except the box and the instructions. I don't recall the use of the various "settings" of the wad pressure tool. I understand the wad pressure reading - the cross pins have me speculating.... If you can dig out the instructions it would be appreciated. Thanks again.

I also posted a couple of PDFs of the instructions so they can be downloaded, in post #6.

The document Marcopolo has copied is what I'm after. But when enlarged I'm unable to read - gets fuzzy. I registered on the antique reloading tools site. When I get approved and have access I'll see if it is any clearer. Thanks to both of you. I may have to follow-up if still illegible.

PM me your email address and I'll send them to you.
