H1000 8lbs....getting ready for some 300 PRC load development.

Well...in the morning I'm going to swage about 1k 40S&W boolits using some 9mm brass. I just ran out of 40 boolits and I have a butt-ton of 9mm. I may even make a few with some 380 brass. I set...

What kind of cores you looking for Utah? And what quantity?

Hmm...sounds like a quick way as well...even at the expense of the gas. I believe I can get my oxy-acetylene to 5620F so the heat sink should turn to liquid pretty quick.

an axe sounds like a good method. I'll just heat the steel pipe and remove it...and chop at the soft lead with an axe. It's all going to melted into muffins eventually. Neatness isn't going to...

Here's the deal: I have a nice chunk of lead given to me. The person said it was probably a few hundred pounds...heh...it's over 600lbs. It is a lead roller used in the printing industry...or was...

I currently shoot 2 times a week at 225 yards...shooting 8 inch diameter steel targets with iron sights. I wear prescription glasses and do about 3 outta 5 with the following rifles.

1966...

No clue...I know it isn't anywhere near the hardness of the custom dies that some on here are making. I know I picked up the same sizing die to derim some 22LR and I've put a 5 gallon bucket worth...

My cores are all the exact same weight...however...my brass is all over the place. My mean weight is 9.7 grains...these produce 55.0 grain boolits...or they will when I get a point forming die. I'm...

Nobody around me reads newspapers anymore. How many Kindles and Nooks would I have to wet down and stack together to recover a boolit from? :)

I've made 25,000+ 9mm to .40 S&W 187 grain boolits. The Mandrels and bottom punches are still in perfect shape even after all that abuse. The Notch Die still works perfectly...ofcourse it does...it...

Ok...I'll keep the brass at .448 instead of at .451...I just read your post of a pic where you said the 9mm was at .451 without the core seated and I stuck a larger mandrel in for a third step and...

Ok...after writing the above I quickly did a few more...using THREE mandrels and have now achieved .451 using Winchester brass instead of the thick walled Aguila brass. The Winchester brass also...

I've duplicated this on my RCIV...ofcourse mine has now been modified since I broke my lower linkage a while back and machined new parts out of steel but I think the old linkage would handle this...

well I can get tons of .38 Special brass....so that should work great....but you may have to expound on the idea of 'shearing' the rim....I'm assuming you mean cutting with a chop saw...unless you...

I'm also interested in this topic. I just bought a very pristine Yugo Mauser that I've fallen in love with. BTSniper can have us the dies...but what brass we can use for that weight target I don't...

What about reducing .30 M1 Carbine brass?

Besides the 5.7x28...which I have exactly 3 of...is anyone using other brass for making .308 besides a multi-step down 9mm to 3.08? I'm going to start saving some brass up to hopefully make some...

Hopefully I can get a pic up of what I've done to repair this RCIV. I used a piece of 1.5" steel block for the lower assembly. It weighs in at 4lbs 3 ounces. I also copied the vertical linkages...

Well, I just bought an Ishy Enfield .308....so I guess I need to start looking for a .308 die huh?

Nobody answered my question and I've seen it asked by many online elsewhere so I will answer my own question and add to the post later.

To get the upper linkage pins out...you take a 1/4 Twenty...

Well I finally swaged one boolit too many. I broke my Rock Chucker. At first I thought it was too many stresses on the cast...where the lower ram pin goes thru the bottom linkage piece...but after...

You know I want to turn some of these .40 S&W into .45 ACP. Once they get about 10 reloads on them I need to turn them into boolits.

It seems the people in that thread may have not been as precise in loading as I am. I weighed and sorted all my brass...used the same headstamp...weighed each boolit...and used the same...

Today I Chrony'd some hot loads and boy was I surprised. I was Shooting my Smith & Wesson M&P 40 cal.... 188 grain jhp's with The BTSniper notch die. Now I don't know how to accurately measure the...
