I'm like a proud father!

Here is a quick review of the tool he sent me for evaluation.
The tool is very nicely machined. The business end of the ram is nicely finished and has a slight rounding of the corner. This makes it easy to remove a flared check with no tools. I hate fiddly tools and this one certainly avoids that.
The ram punch is nicely marked. I like that.
The die is threaded into the press u til it just touched the ram punch with the ram at full extension.
The check is flared enough to fit even the most stubborn of bullet bases. The tool allowed me to easily seat checks on my MP 30 sil, this mould casts a base just large enough to let factory checks scrape the sides of the shank. This is no longer a concern.
The tool works just like it was designed to work. The price is very reasonable and quality is very good. I would recommend this tool to anyone suffering with a mould that has a slightly large check shank.
