Posted By: J.D.Steele Lyman tong tools - 06/29/11 11:06 PM
I'm cleaning out my stash of Lyman tong tools preparatory to putting them on eBay, and am offering them to the fraternity first. I have steel-handled boxed sets in several calibers including 45-70, 44 Spec, 38 Spec, 270 Win and others, also a few aluminum-handled boxed sets, more boxed die sets w/no handles, shell(hand/vise) resizers, a few bullet sizers, a few Kake Kutters, a set of ultra-rare handles for the larger 50-70 & 348 dies as well as many orphan dies and small parts.

If I wanted max $ then I'd just sell them on eBay but I'd rather see someone here get first dibs. I'll trade for most anything including more tong tool stuff, please PM with wants, needs and trade offers.
Thanks, Joe

45-90 uses the same dies as the 45-70, just a difference in the die adjustment. Similar to the 38 Spec/357 Mag and 44 Spec/44 Mag, the only difference is the actual case length.

I have a complete boxed set of 45-70 dies with steel handles, not aluminum ones. Handles are marked 45-70.

Whaddayagot? PM if interested, please.
Regards, Joe

Sorry, no. Have some brass and possibly a primer seater but nothing else. 222 dies will work though.

Joe,
Are your Lyman handles for the larger 50/70 & 348 dies still available? If yes I would be interested. What are your asking for them?

Yes, they're still taking up spa....er, I mean they're still available (grin). I traded a 310 44 Spec boxed set for them, will swap them for almost anything interesting in the $50-$70 range. Newly-made dies are available, unfortunately for 2X reasonable $.
Regards, Joe

J.D. I realize that I'm somewhat late on this since you first brought it to our attention in early July. I am wondering if you may have Lyman #310 dies for the 25-20 Single Shot cartridge? If you've already advertised the tools on E-Bay, I'll just do a search over there. Thanks much.

Sorry, no dies or parts for the 25-20SS. I have some R2 Win brass but nothing else using this case.
