The hole is tapered and the edge was rounded so I could, after putting case sizing lube on it, press a case in the #1 side and then turn the die over and press the case in the second side to finish it. I use a 2 ton arbor press to push the case in and a dowel to press it out.
I'd very much like to have a copy of the book your die is sitting on !
