Reloading items???
I got these in a big box of reloading items and not sure what they are and want to list them on auction side. Any help on I.D. and value would be really appreciated. Thanks ........gumby
The bushing looing things have L.E. WILSON on them, and caliber numbers like 222,270 M, 357 mag,257, and the last has 3cals: 243, 308 and 358. The grey odd shape piece does have RCBS embosed in it. The rods with the numbers engraved on them seem to be a guage for checking case length, they match to the few cartridges I found in the box with them
They man these came from had alot of different calibered guns that a buddy of mine sold for the widow, 270 Ackely short mag, 222 AI, 257 Weatherby mag and others. HE sold the guns and I bought the reloading stuff, but I am not a cartridge reloader and alot of these items I am not familiar with , Thanks again for any help [;)]

The ones standing up are "go-no - go" guages ,used to check loaded rounds for proper size .
The others are probably case length guages .0 -
The unit on the left is part of the priming fixture for an RCBS press.
As for the cylinders; maybe bullet sizing dies but my guess would be either the go/no guage, or possibly brass sizing dies.0 -
Hi, Gumbydamnbit,
The 5 larger cylinders look like case gauges. Wilson made these for nearly every production caliber. A reloaded cartridge is inserted into the hole. The base of the cartridge will be flush with the end of the gauge if its dimensions are within SAAMI specification. They are handy for checking the setup on reloading dies and for checking reloads. The last none with 3 calibers can be used for all 3 since the parent case is the same, the .308 Win.
The thing on the left looks like part of a priming tool for a reloading press. A primer feed tube should fit into one side of this (can't see that side in the picture).
I'm drawing a blank on the 5 rods; don't recognize them.0 -
Wrong, The L.E. Wilson Cylinders are shell holders for the L.E. Wilson Case trimmer. You put an empty case in the proper shell holder and lay it in the miniature hand operated lathe and turn them to length. They were about six dollars apiece thirty years ago. 0 -
Yep. That's what they are. Very accurate trimmer.quote:Originally posted by craig 25-06

Swill, and craig nailed the shell holders for a trimmer. I still use one. way better than any others on the mkt.!!! 0 -

Here is the trimmer, where would those things go?? 0 -
Are you sure they are not file type trimmers they look like my herters ones i use.tks hedge[:D] 0 -
Oooohhhhhh my goodness----From the angle of the picture---unscrew the adjustment screw---take the crank with the cutters out to the rt.---Turn it around, and reinstall it from the lt. end so that the crank handle is on the outside---Put case to be trimmed into the shell holder, with the mouth pointing to the lt, where the trimmer knives are, push handle all the way in to the rt. untill it hits the frame, then adjust the lenght with the threaded rod, and lock it down with the set screw on top. One drop of oil into little hole on top of left guide, to lube shaft. Trim case, mic. it for lenght, adjust if necessary. remove case from holder, install new case, repeat as necessary. bevel case mouth inside, and outside. Be happy!!! Your welcome!!!!! 0 -

With a screw driver, loosen the big threaded screw, take the handle/cutter out and insert it fromt he other direction and the case holder will go in that gap. I just got that trimmer a few days ago and that is how they pack it for shipping as it is smaller. Really nice trimmer, I like lot. Fast and simple to use.0 -
Thanks for all the info. Any idea how much and should I list all the shellholder with it, any ideas???
Thanks again

List it on auction for a penny and hope you can get a little for it. They are not popular anymore and at least in this area are danged hard to sell. I sold one with 4 gauges that I had had in stock for several years last spring for $12. And I still have one without any gauges that I cann't sell. 0
