It’s pretty funny. I trade him stuff I don’t want or need and he trades me stuff he can’t sell, except to a nut like me. I got a full Lyman 310 load kit for .45-70 (to go with my Sharps) which was complete EXCEPT for this little part called the “cartridge adapter die”, a small ring in the handles. They are numbered according to size. I don’t think it truly “sizes” the case. Perhaps it maintains concentric alignment?

The handles I got included a #5 “die” ring. That’s for .30/40, .35 Rem, .220 Swift etc. .45-70 uses #10. I find I have others in #2 (06’ size) and #6 (.38/55). So I’m looking for an adapter ring #10 or one I can machine to the larger specs! I never even noticed that little ring before.
