Bought this at a gun show a couple of months ago, thinking that since it says "Winchester Ammunition"
on the handle, I must need it.

So for, I havn't figured out what it does - the seller didn't know either.

Can someone enlighten me?

Don't do that you might get a Moisin Nagant "Karate rifel" & need it to work the bolt.:laugh:

You would have fit in well at a place I used to work. Some of the maintenance guys were sledgehammer mechanics.

LOL I figured it out; you use the magnifying glass to see if the primer is protruding above the cartridge base, then you hammer it back flush.
