One of the great reasons for guns is the history of them which so many overlook in the pro gun argument. These are priceless things.

The screwdrivers came in a red and clear pouch just like the punches. My first Case Lube Pad which I still have was made for RCBS. It is made of metal and it is hinged.

    I just realized I live in a dang time capsule from inheriting/hoarding stuff. Plus I watched an old video of me driving wife's '67 Corvette Tri-Power on I-24 & that I say "how cool is that" as much as Eric. How cool is that? L8r.

    This vid proves that "gun nuts" aren't homicidal maniacs. It shows that they simply love anything related to guns. Eric and Chad - it was a joy to see you two getting so much joy from looking at the contents of the box. You must have said "cool" about 50 times!

    I was given some LEE stuff from a lady I knew from church. Since I prefer the LEE auto prime one of the things was a full set of shell holders in the clear red plastic case. I knew her hubbie as well. Great video Eric and Chad. Happy New Year. Oh, I hear that GA has joined VA. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!! I hope 2020 will see this stuff go away, I hope.

      @@shotbytim9624 not always. Depends greatly on the set up being used. Some of the older set up seated gas checks one die and sized in a completely different die. That arbor style press was set up more along the lines of a lubricator die set up. Not a typical pass through sizer.

    You guys literally opened up a Box from my own Father. Born i the late 20's, by the 50's was re-loading on a "home-made press". I watched him as a kid use those lead molds over our kitchen stove and I know exactly what a "gas check" is ;-) Very fun to watch.
