I need one. I have several old-model Lee Priming tools, and could use a 'U' tool for reloading my 30 Carbine. Anyone have one, and need something else? I have a supply...

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
Is that the old red ones with the captive shell holder??
Hooroo.

Explain " U " tool ...
Are you referring to a shell holder ?

Am I correct in reading between the lines that you have several of the old pot metal tools that take the screw in shell holders and are in need of a shell holder (only) designated “U” so you can prime 30 carbine cases? If yes, I’m sorry to say but I only have the one in my set, but I’m sure I’ve seen one or more offered in trade by members of this group. Dig ‘em out guys, help a brother loader out!

Yes - a 'U' shell holder for the old pot metal primer putter.

Right on! Several dedicated pot metal primer putters, and need a 'U' case holder.

Right - sorry I wasn't clear in the OP. BTW, my kids are 1/4 coonie - my father-in-law was a red-headed Irish coonie from New Iberia. Named Clancy, his brother was named Murphy, just to make sure folks KNEW they were Irish! I traced his ancestry all the way back to Sligo, Ireland - he came over doing the Evangeline thing!

Sorry I wasn't more clear in the OP - no, the older pot metal thing with screw-in shell-holders.

Echo, just to be sure I checked my stash and I just have the one in the "complete set" I'm trying to put together. Let me know if you need any others though. IIRC, someone was on this forum a couple three weeks ago mentioning having gotten a bunch of screw in shell holders to trade. I think he listed a U in his group. I'll see whether I can track him down.

Froggie tracked me down, but I don't have a U.
Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.
Sorry, Echo. Amphibian memory is never that good and mine has gotten worse with age. I’ll keep an eye out for one though.
