Anyone know what these are?

A guy I work with gave me these and asked if I knew what they were. He said he got them from a gun shop that closed years ago. The threads on all of them match standard die threads so I'm assuming they are reloading related. I figured you guys were my best shot at finding the answer.

My guess is bullet swaging dies.

Or bullet seating dies.

One looks like an expander die. A couple look like bullet sweaters and A couple look like seater dies. Matt

Thank you. Here is a pic of the red handles. I'll get more pictures this afternoon.

These are for applying lube to your poured bullets. The others are part of the sizing and cleaning system for final sizing.

Believe the are bullet making dies and also some are lube dies.

The luber is for cast bullets. After a lead bullet is cast, it's run through a sizer to get the final diameter, and a luber to apply bullet lube on to prevent leading (modern systems do both at the same time.)

I'd assume most of those items are used in the making of cast bullets, but since I don't cast (and certainly am not up on older casting and sizing equipment), I can't say with any authority.

Thank you everyone for the answers. Would any of these be useful for someone casting bullets today, or are they pretty much outdated and useless?
