    Hmmmm I likey... Could you maybe caption this photo Happ??[:D][8D]

    The three gadgets on the far left, are for crimping shotshells. I have one 12 gauge, and two 16 gauge.
    The shiny brass one in the middle on the bottom of the pic, is for 12 gauge shotshells also - for crimping the shels shut.

    The three-leged ones on the far right, are for removing the spent primer and inserting a new one.

    Between the three crimping-tools on the left, there's a small grease-container that fit in a 12 gauge cartridge-carrier/belt.
    It has the same dimensions as a 12 gauge shell, and also has the rim that a 12 gauge shell has. I take it it's because it can sit in the shotshell-carrier/belt.


    Then there's the measuring-cup-thing, and to the right of that one - three tools to expand shells with, so it's easy to insert the fibre/felt-wad.

    There's a powder-horn, and to the left of that, there's a tin of powder - from a danish factory that also delivered gunpowder for the danish army.

    The .30-06 is a little out of place, as the primer-hole have been threaded - and a pipe-cleaning tool now takes the place, and that tool can also open a beer. (non twist-cap bottles of beer)


    Not entirely sure what the rest are.

    Thank you very much sir!!
    I wonder though,whet the item to the L of the powder tin is.
    It kinda looks like a pepper grinder but,I KNOW, that is not what it is..[;)]

    Outside of a standard layout of mechanic's and electrician's hand tools we don't have anything that neat. Some handheld communication devices that can communicate to field instruments via HART protocol, an array of Fluke electrical test equipment, and laptops running all kinds of setup and diagnostic programs for any one of the hundreds of different types of field process instruments we install or work on.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

    I have no idea of the use for it - but I believe it has something to do with the three in the middle that expand the hulls.

    A 12 gauge hull fits up inside it, or perhaps a gadget to easily fill the cartridges with powder/shot.

    It's not level at the bottom, it looks like the muzzle end of a rifle.

    So I guess an empty hull fits up inside it, and you can use it to hold it against the tabletop for better control with the hull-expanders - or simply to hold the hull when pouring powder, feltwad/shotcup and shot, again for better control.



    By the way, it's not star-crimp, it's roll crimp on an end disk. [:)]

    I don't have one, but these have to be my favorite two tools:

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
