Re: some rare reloading tools

Lancaster,
Great pictures of vintahe reloading tools. Thanks fpr showing.
93x64: Many of the 19th century molds required the handles be wrapped in cord and the user wear gloves. My 36 cal Colt 1851 mold has short steel handles. My BPE rifle molds are brass or bronze and rrquire welding gloves to use.
The berdn decapper has a pin that is driven into the primer at an angle and when open, pops out the spent primer. Obviously, you don't want to use one with a live primer.
