Had good day in shop today. Finished machine work on all the die bodies! Just a quick polish on the few I did today and I'll be boxing them all up and shipping to Nitride!
It was quite a run of dies and quite a bit of work but finally this batch is done!

Finished, boxed and shipped to nitride!
Finished this latest run of dies. Wow! A lot of work but I got it done and everything looks great.
Expect everything back sometime around second week of December at which time I will complete all orders on my list just as soon as I can.
Thanks for all your patience and support.

Just received all 361 dies and various items back from nitride today.
Still unboxing but everything looks good.
Has to be the worst week of the year to be waiting on a shipment of very important items..... but USPS has come threw again.
It will take me a little while to unbox and sort everything, then start the process of final polish and assemble of all the necessary additional items for these dies to finish everyone's orders, but...... the hard part is over on my end.... just waiting for these important dies to return!!!
I'll keep everyone posted here in this thread.....

""and various other items"
The dies accounted for a little more then half, the rest was auto eject parts.
Still a lot of dies and work!
Slowly get them polished, assembled and shipped.

I have a few dies orders on my list. At the moment I am completing all the small necessary tasks to complete all BTSniper premium dies, then I'll be working on all the BTSimple dies. I look at it like preparing a meal, at the moment I am doing all the sous chef tasks of making dozens of the little things like base punches, internal pins, top stop bolts, internal HP punches ect. I'm getting pretty close to finishing all these small tasks so I can start putting everything together with the final assembly of these BTSniper premium dies a lot of you have been waiting on.
Give me just a little more of your patience, these dies are looking very good and will be ready very soon!
Thanks

Got 6 of my upgraded Lee Swage presses put together yesterday.
Things are looking good, many orders will be completed soon.
Thanks for your patience and support.

Got one more order ready to ship this weekend.
I rearranged my work order list somewhat grouped by caliber as this is typically how I will complete dies on order. The estimated ship date (est.) will be pretty darn close baring any unknown delays.
Those of you waiting on on order will find your order listed in either the Quick Turn list, BTSmiple list or Labor Intensive list. You will see your zip code listed next to the details of your order. If you have any questions or don't see your order on this list please let me know.
Thank you for your support and patience.

Lots of shipments going out today!

Tracking shows a few deliveries expect on Tuesday. Many of you will be getting the BTSimple molds. Be sure to clean the molds of all machining oils before first use.
Swage on!

Been out of office for about a week with family visiting and working on my 6.5WSM with the 178 grain bullets a little bit. Had a few days of sun and no wind so took advantage of it while I could. The 6.5WSM is being temperamental now that the barrel has been nitride processed. Been a challenge, like starting over with load development. Still not dialed back in yet, been a bit of an emotional challenge too as it was shooting so well before.
Will be back to work before end of week. My estimates where running pretty good, I'll get back on track.
Thanks for your patience and support.

Got to send a small batch of dies to nitride in a few days, figured I might as well nitride all the 22 cal BTSimple dies on order while I'm at it for no additional cost to customers. Just a few extra days wait time but it will be worth it! Consider it a thank you for the patience to all of you waiting for these final BTSimple dies. Of course should anyone not want their BTSimple dies Nitride processed just let me know :)

I made an additional 12 sets of my BTSimple 22 cal dies. Just have 8 point form dies to go then shipping these along with other dies on order to nitrdie. Might have them shipped off tomorrow,if not certainly first of next week.
Left message with my Nitride shop to make sure they where still processing orders during this crazy time, still waiting to hear back.
Thanks

Just finished up machine work on the last of the dies I wanted to complete. Will be expecting them back from nitride in about 3-4 weeks as long as all goes well in the world.
These include all the BTSimple dies still waiting on my list.
Thank you all for your patience and support.
Good shooting and swage on!

Been a challenging couple of weeks. I did get the dies off to Nitride as posted in previous post.Just a bit of adjusting to everyone being at home now, luckily both me and my wife are able to continue working from home. Spent a bit of time discussing to my girls the possible reasons and theories as to why they are out of school, assigned them a few research essay assignments into possible and previous government conspiracies. Encouraging them to be able to think for them selves and question what those in charge may be trying to teach them.
I'm getting back to work on my current orders and have many dies in stock for new orders.
Thank you all for your continued support and patience.
Good shooting and swage on!

I have been a bit delayed on my work order list. As many of you can imagine with ammo and reloading shortages hitting the shelves I have been answering a lot of inquires from new shooters interested in becoming first time swagers. Rest assured I have not forgot about any of you patiently waiting for your orders. I am still hard at work even during this crazy time in the world.
It did take my family a few weeks to adjust to the new schedule of everyone being at home but I now feel like we all have a handle on the situation and my available time for work in the shop feels like it is getting better.
Thank you all again for your support and continued patience. I will ensure it is worth the wait and you all will certainly be glad to have these dies now that the next shortage is upon us.
Good shooting and swage on!

Been very busy last three weeks with my girls home. Have also been spending long days on the computer answering inquires, sending quotes, taking orders, restocking necessary inventory items..... etc.
Spoke with Nitride shop. They have the dies and will be processing them first of next week. Probably have them back 5-7 days after that.
Things are going well. Thank you all for your continued support and patience. These dies will be a great investment for all of you, especially those of you that got in early with great end of year sales now that shelves in ammo stores are empty!
I'll be working on dies and completing orders very soon.
Good shooting and swage on!
