I’m putting this up for the cause. I don’t know exactly what it is but someone here must need one?

I believe it is used to compress black powder in cartridges. I also think it might be missing the stem. This is what I found at Midway USA. I hope this helps someone.

• Compression dies are used to compress the black powder in the cartridge case to a consistent depth.
• The die body has standard 7/8 x 14 thread to fit into any single stage reloading press.
• The stem threads into the center of the die body and is secured with a nut on the threads that bears against the top of the die body. Stem threads are not calibrated or otherwise marked.
• Compression die with stem is the body with one stem that is caliber specific.
• The stem (only) can then be purchased in additional calibers or gauges for use in the die body.
• If stem setting in body must be maintained exactly, then multiple die bodies would be needed, one for each stem.
• Shotgun stems are not sold with a die body and must be purchased as an accessory to a body with stem.
• Montana Precision recommends that a compression die be used for black powder cartridge reloading and that a bullet seater should not be used because it can deform the bullet. Instead, the bullet should be seated into the cartridge with finger pressure only.

Yes sir she is a 300 H&H.

It’s a black powder compression die. Blackpowder needs to be compressed. You can compress the powder when seating the bullet, but you run a risk of deforming the base of the lead bullet when doing so. This die eliminates this risk. The caliber should be marked somewhere on the die. It should be marked 38, 44,45, or 50. I’ve never used one, but know some guys that do.

I have a Caldwell Lead Sled that's been taking up space. Now I can add rusting to that list—it got moved to the garage, and Houston humidity is unforgiving.

I'd prefer not to ship it since it’s heavy and awkward. If anyone is near Houston, it’s yours!

 

[Mark458]

That's a great deal for someone near Houston.

Wow! That's a great item. Kudos on your generosity Sir.

I'd love the lead sled but won't be down there until December. If you can wait that long, I'd love it. Totally understand if you would prefer not to.

I love seeing people do nice things for one another.

I’ve got twenty Hammer Bullets 140gr absolute hammer bullets. They are .284 diameter and were pulled. I’ll ship them to anyone that wants them. It would be enough to test them out in your favorite 7mm rifle.
