Remarkable!
I'm still curious what cartridge it is. Some close to a .45 or .50 caliber something???
12,6mm is .496
Hmm. Plot thickens.
Very nice work!!!
They look like 44 Schoefield but without scale, it is hard to tell.
Please show how your dies are mounted on your machines.
Is this something that could be done on a 20ton shop press?
this is a master at work I can hardly get a boolit in the case straight
What type press are you using? I don't see any threads on your dies to indicate a standard type press.
I bought the press as a discarded metal waste.

some sort of punch press or nibbler it looks.
It is an old mechanical punch press. The plate on top is the motor mount. The flywheel ran via a belt drive and had a foot or hand pedal to actuate it for the down and up cycle.
When the dog got worn they were prone to double (or more) cycling. I presume he is using it manually for this very reason. They could cycle without warning and therefore dangerous to load and unload stock.
:) Ohhhhh myyyyyyyyyy.This just gets better and better all the time.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

I could get a job at Bertram Bullet or at Hornady.:)

Video of the process at Starline
Wow. How many bullets could a fellar HiTek with that little jewel!?
These videos never fail to aggravate the tar out of me. Standing there and giving a half sentence explanation and watching the running press explains squat about the actual process and how the dies work.
I had to chuckle, "the worlds finest cartridge brass producer". Product propaganda, I know, and I like Starline brass, but Lapua? Norma?
