What calibers do you swage for?

[Adam10mm]

Curious to find out what everyone swages for. Lead or jacketed? I am going to start out with 10mm but possibly add 50AE and .375 (Holland) after I get the hang of it (and a RCE Sea Girt press).

Well with the email I just got from Richard I should be all set up In january .
I will get all my goodies and I will be developing .500 Dia jacketed bullets and then 50 BMG jacketed bullets .
Looking forward to this new adventure with the walnut hill press.

Buckshot,
It must be parallel evolution, adaptation or something:) The base plate for mounting your press looks identical to the one I fabricated for the RCE arbor. Also, those patched 45s look to have about a 1.5 to 1.75 cal RN??
Ranger Rick, might take a look at that mounting base plate in Buckshot's photo- really makes life easier when working that press.

They're 1.5R. Richard wasn't ecstatic about it and tried talking me out of it :-)

It's just a 1/2" steel plate with holes D&T'd to accept the press. The plate then has about 'leventyhundred 2" drywall screws down into the workbench top. Since the workbench has 3" of wood over a welded 2x2" steel tube frame bolted to the studs in the wall it isn't going anyplace.
