I bought this Ideal tool off here years ago as a cartridge dimpler from a member. Anyone here have pictures and description of it in an Ideal catalog? Thanks

It was made by Ideal to put indentations in the case neck (usually 45-70) for the base of little short gallery type bullet to sit down on.  You needed a special grooved decapping stem to get past the interior projections, at least until those weak spots blew out, ruining the case. “But it seemed like a good idea at the time.”  Not many were made apparently and they are just a curiosity now.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

It is a shell indenter, and they had optional rods for different size case necks. For some reason these tools were left out of Vol. 1 of Rowe and Curtis's Old Reloading tool book.
