Shaping Ogive's on the reamers
Is there a trick to shaping the ogive tip for the point forming die? I am a novice with a lathe and am still learning the finer aspects of turning steel.
I would be willing to pay a pro for a point forming die reamer so I can get on with other die making tasks and spend more time learning how to make my own...
I have gone to the comercial market for standard size reamers (ten thousanth increments) for the core swage and seating dies. My next challenge is making the Ted Smith design hone to lapp the dies after I ream them.
Thanks to everyone for the advice in all the die making threads - it helps.
