Hey Bearkiller Buzz

Saw this on gaybay. The seller has no fucking clue. I got rid of all my 44 WCF's a long time ago. Looks like a decent tong tool and the price is right if you're into that shit.

I can afford to buy bullets, but thanks for the thought.

Correct me if I am wrong but surely that is a mould for making bullets. :roll:

All you need to do is to go back to the tyre shop you worked in and ask for the lead that they took off while balancing tyres?

Nope, not a mold.

They made some of those with molds, but that just a reloading tool. It de-primes, re-primes, re-sizes, and seats and crimps a bullet into the case. One operation at a time. They're slow compared to re-loaders of today, but were easy to carry in a saddle bag or back pack. All you needed to carry beside that was some bullets, primers, and powder as you re-used your brass.

That one is missing the de-priming pin, but those are easy to make.

They were known "tong" tools and were made in just about every caliber available "back in the day".

Here's a link to one with a built in bullet mold.

Drive a 1000 miles to get some wheel weights?
