I'll be! very well!

I'll be! very well!

It felt like cheating. Interesting nonetheless. After seeing the name pop up, I looked it up and Harring is actually a screen name. Her real name was too difficult to spell and pronounce to use.

A Weatherby collet

I'm not sure since I've never heard one called that but yes correct function I think... so a winner.
It is a body collet die used to resize right up to the belt on belted magnums, something regular sizing dies can't do. This one is by Innovative Technologies (Larry Willis)

Next...
This one may be a little tricky?? Also interesting story of origin.

I researched these when I first researched reloading my 300 Weatherby. Might have to get one or two if they do the trick, now that I have that and my 416 Rem.

.458, a hoof pick ?

Bingo!
Homemade one I picked up at an old abandoned ranch- had been laying there since the early 40s. Guessing the location would be like hitting the billion dollar lottery

This one is fairly common

They work and really the only way to size belted reloads for resistance free chambering for many rifles. The chamber "plunk test" tells the story.

I'll add a clue. The years are a critical part of the clue as to where this was found.
It can date to no later than the early 1940s. The critical year dates in history, and part of the clue, are 1941 and 1945.

Near the Armendaris ranch or White Sands.

Scorching hot! But only one guess can be correct Meaning a 50-50 shot at it.

Oahu Hawaii ?
