    I'm surprised at your statement. It may be true for small, straight sided pistol and revolver brass that doesn't need much force out of a press. The Trueline Junior Lyman press is a very light duty press and will not handle FL sizing of rifle brass. 310 dies are small diameter with very fine thread.The only 310 rifle cartridge sizing die for the 310 Nutcracker was called a muzzle resizer.
    The Nutcracker doesn't have the stroke for a long size.
    To my knowledge Lyman's first presses to handle FL sizing of rifle cases were the excellent All American turret press and the Spartan C press that took the 7/8-14 dies .
    It's been about 48 years since I progressed from the 310 dies to a Herter's heavy C press and standard dies so I may be wrong but I doubt it.
    I'd be interested to know which calibers you have 310 FL dies for.
