Thread: What is this?

Something I picked up as part of a deceased estate, two lyman presses that do something. Looks like they are perhaps for forming projectiles, maybe pushing jackets onto projectiles. Can anyone explain what they are?

The right hand one looks like a sizer lube unit for cast bullets,

Sold! @Tommy, which one do you want?

They tend to be grubby in their nature. Send me a PM!

Ha ha ha ha perfect match then. Happy Christmas young fella.

Sorry for the lack of contact, been a bit chaotic with one thing and another. Here's a photo of all the bits, the sizing dies are all H&I, whatever that means, and there are 277,325, 225, 313, 258, 244, 358, and 309 diameter, as well as a top punch, and gas check seater. I don't know what any of these are, so I'm just assuming the labels are correct. @Tommy and @40mm are you guys still keen? Which bits are you wanting and how much would you offer?
Cheers, Tom
