Who makes a decent hand tool for this that will fit the various .50 cases such as the .56-50 and .50-70? My little old Lee is a loose fit.

You can order one from CH4D die company or, if you're lucky, find one made by Lyman in a well-stocked gun shop (or order it).  Be very careful not to let the tool roll off your bench--one drop on a concrete floor can break off an outside chamfering tine and render the tool useless for outside chamfering.

Midway sells the Lyman tool.  This tool is advertised as good for up to 60 caliber.  It is works great for the 56-50, 50-70, etc.  The Lyman P/N is 7810206.  the Midway item No. is 285108 and is lists for $16.99 + shipping.  It's not cheap, but well worth the cost.

I believe the 50AE trimmer kit will work.
(internally, the 50AE has the same height as the 56-50)

I'll have to double check.

Lee can also make custom trim kits for $20.

The Lyman tool Hell er High Water recommended works very well.
Ain't got to where I'm going, but I'm past where I been.
