Evening guys. Too cold to be having much fun outside so I been going through old drawers in the gun room[which I don't have]. Found a batch of Lyman tools I bought years ago and never got to use. How do I tell what caliber these two are used for?

I know the handles and it is the die I'm trying to figure out. The top one has the number 2 on it. The bottom one has 29 just above the main locking ring and an 8 on the side of the top tit.
Thanks.
 
#2 priming die works for; 22/250 Var.; 250/3000; 6.5 Jap; 270 Win; 7mm; 308 Win; 300 Sav; 30-06; 7.7 Jap; 8mm; 9mm; 401 Win; 45 auto
#29 is your seating die for 30 carbine and 32-20
#8 seating stem for a cast boolit 30 carbine or 32-20 and jacked 32-20
if the adapter ring is #15 30 carbine; if #3 32-20, 25-20, 218 bee, 32 S&W, 32 auto
the adapter is located on the inside of handle under the dies
if adapter has different # on it let me know and I will list what it is for

You sir a scholar and a gentleman. The number on the adapter this particular one is in would be a number 1. Reason I'm asking is there were a batch of these things that came in a box and most of them are for 30-06. No reason to believe they belonged together but I'm learning thanks to you.
 
the exact same tool I use for priming and seating the bullets in my 222 ammo. I have a bunch of different die pieces for the handles. even have a bushing that converts the die pieces to fit the 7/8x14 standard thread in a bench mounted press.
