I have a collection of wamadet press sizing dies mainly in the .451 and similar sizes all though there is one in .355 I have no idea how you would use them. The .451 and other stuff is of no use to me but I would be interested in getting the .355 jobby to work out of interest. Any one know how they work. There is all sorts of odd bits that the things fit into but I can not fathom how they work.
The sizing dies look similar to the Lyman versions I'm wondering if the dies would work in my Lyman luberiszer.
Any info would be appreciated.

Re: wamadet sizing dies
Let's see if I can remember how to include the pics I have of the Wamadet instruction sheets. I have tried to load them but they seem to be too big, if I reduce them the chances are you will not be able to read them. PM me with an e mail address and I'll send them. Having said this you'd be better off trying to find someone who can show you how it all goes together or search Youtube

Re: wamadet sizing dies
If you want to bring some stuff round I'll show you, I have Wamadet presses and the dies and like to use them for sizing, they take standard H&I dies and make a refreshing change from the usual lube sizers

Re: wamadet sizing dies
Excellent stuff and much more comprehensive than the instructions I received with my press when I bought it around 1982.
I also have a brochure from North Devon Firearm Services which makes interesting reading.
It's good to read in the Wamadet instructions that 'the machine can be used in the warmth of your own front room, it can even be used on a sturdy coffee table from the comfort of an easy chair'.
I don't think Mrs Bewildered would go for that somehow.

Sorry for the delay in replying.
Unfortunately my scanner is bust and I'm just in the process of buying a new printer/scanner/copier thing.
I will then need help from my good friend mag41 with the posting but will post as soon as I can.

Re: wamadet sizing dies
Sorry for butting on this post, but thanks to glevum! I've had the press for a long time but never had such information a lot of my extras have succumbed to rust. I will have to clean them up and try to figure out how they all come together.
