44-40 Brass Sizer

[Sterling Silver]

I bought this a few years ago to resize 44-40 brass and can’t find the name of the guy I bough it from. Anyone have the contact?

I think you’re right.

Do you have a contact number for him?

[The Revenuer]

 That would be very handy!

To rescue ones that are squash?

That would push out some dings and dents but you'd still need to resize.

Yep, they work great.  If you have a 44-40 the gets crease on the end, this opens it back up enough to be resized.

I use a .50 cal BMG bullet for that. 
 

Thanks for that, Driftwood!

A 38 special case head will open up a crushed 44-40 case mouth with some work if it's really bad.

I use a needle nose pair of pliers to open the crushed cases

I also use needle nose pliers, but it's used like the little gnome hat looking tool

With care, works just fine.  I usually only do it with scarce or once used brass.
