Lyman J to X adapter fix.

[Smoothride]

So, I have an old Lyman Comet single stage press. I have acquired the J style shell holders for every case I reload with the exception of 50-70, 32 Remington and 38 S&W. Therefore, I have a Lyman J to X adapter. But it is made from powdered metal and can not stand up to a stuck 50-70 case. After breaking it and welding it back up a couple of times, something else needed to be done.

Nice work! I have a decent collection of J type shell holders but I also have the adapter.
I’m not sure what mine is made of but I hope it doesn’t break!
