What is this.

[arch1327]

Hi all. Looong time lurker. Purchased an elderly friends reloading equipment and this was in the bottom of a box of molds. It fits nothing that was in his equipment. I think its a sizer of some kind, just don't know. Any help is appreciated.

A bullet sizer.

It should fit the Lyman hand tool.

Yeah it looks like the dies that go to the 310 tong tool.

Thanks for the help, knowing what it was. A quick search in the casting and hand tool section told all I needed to know.

I strongly advise against using it in a tong tool, especially not an aluminum one... not enough leverage and probably marginal for strength as well. OTOH, in a little TruLine Jr it will work very well. A little less nostalgic, but also satisfactory, would be to use a standard press with a bushing (still available from Lyman.) Lee is still making essentially the same thing only in a “full size” die.
