What does this stand for?

We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
You pick a place where the enemy is thought to be and fire mortar or artillery rounds at it usually unobserved to harass and maybe kill the enemy. It is not done very much anymore but was very popular in VN.
You could order a "H-89xxxx" part or a "I-76xxx part"
"H&I" dies named from the old Ideal catalog. The body is part "H" and the cylindrical stem is part "I".
On the 2nd page "Instructions to use" picture the last paragraph notes the "H" and "I" sizer pieces.
Those 2 pieces are what you changed for different sizes.

lettered designations of parts for a LYMAN 45 luber/sizer... Been casting since the 70s and never knew what H&l stood for..
Never too old to learn .. Thanks.

I must have shot about 27 gagzillion 148gr wadcutters thru my S&W52 midrange gun and about 58 megazillion 185gr semi-wadcutters thru my Colt goldcup .45.
But I never got into casting my own.
Don't know why??? Maybe it was too easy just to buy them by the 1000"s and load them.
Watched, help, others smelt lead for bullets, just not me.
They used to be American made Motorcycle companies.
Now that was interesting. I doubt I will ever call in a fire mission...but who knows?
