"Are the two brass cylinders in front of the funnel brass re-sizers?"

Yes they are sizing cylinders, a 12, a 16 and a 20. The 12 gauge one when inverted supports a 16 gauge brass shell rim for pounding in primers with a flat dowel and a mallet. I also prefer Old Eynsford, more zip and cleaner burning.

My two sons and I enjoyed some rifle bench time and "blowing some smoke".
If you look closely you can see the shot column.

Those are vintage Ideal/Lyman sizing dies, Purchased them on eBay with an assortment of loading supplies, procured by the seller from an estate sale.

Are they designed to be used with a mallet, driven on and driven out? I’ll keep an eye out for them in any case.
