Anyone know much about the old Lyman 310 hand press?

[TedNugent]

So, I have 2 of them and a whole whack of dies for them, some oddball calibres.
They came with a 7/8 threaded adapter, am assuming so you can use them in any press with those threads. Think I figured out one set I have, or at least the sizer/deprimer, they aren't exactly well labeled. I have a 38/357 die in there and have a ton of cases to size and deprime, and it almost seems like they are mushrooming a tiny bit, could this be the die for case flaring??
I'll take a pic of how I have it setup, I would like to eventually have these ready to take with me to the range, in case I ever need to load a round.

Thanks in advance,

Aaron

Some of the older die sets had a first die that resized & flared the case in one
operation with that one die. Might also deprime also .

I just got bushings (7/8-14 tpi to 5/8-30 tpi) yesterday...I'm finally rockin' sizers for m'cast.

There was a thread not long ago:

My bad. Wrong on this. Some older dies deprimed and flared on the second die.
The first die resized only.

Any easy way to tell the dies apart?

Guess I'll try and YouTube it, see what comes up.

Are there numbers/code on them?
