Introduced alongside the famous Winchester Model 1894 rifle, this specific tool was revolutionary for its time because it was built to handle both traditional black powder and the then-new, higher-pressure smokeless powder cartridges. The condition of this reloading tool is good with no obvious signs of damage, surface oxidation noted. Measures 3.25"W x 7.25"L x 1.25"D, weight is 2lb.
