For 357 Sig Nickel Cases, I used a 40SW Lee Carbide die to size the body. Then i used a Lee 357 Sig die to size the neck and bump the shoulder if needed. I did this without lube, and it worked...

I run these in my suppressed 12.5" 50 Beowulf. They feed amazing, and since they are the same profile, I just keep my dies the same and adjust the powder measure when I switch between...

I'm looking for some help identifying what Corbin press this is. I figured it was a Corbin CSP-2, but the measurements don't match Corbin's site.

I run 50 Beowulf. I currently cast a 506 and 594 grain boolit and run them subsonic. I've also loaded 400gr Winchester Silver tops, 350 and 500gr xtp, and have some 325gr gold dot on my bench to...

I submitted $307 in items yesterday. A chargemaster and a set of dies. I did the rebate online, and expect to get 100 dollar rebate. I'll try and update this post when I get it.

I cant help a ton on 45/70 subsonic, however I run both 50 beowulf 594 gr and 510 Whisper 1000 grain cast bullets subsonic and suppressed. For both, I ended up running COWWs and powdercoating them...

I size .3565 for my Sig MPX ( slugs .3550), but size .358 for all of my other 9mm's. Id take the above advice and slug your barrel, or just size .358.

I purchased both .500 and .501 H&I dies, and tried both. I was able to get reliable chambering from the 0.501, and figured i can always use the .500 die one day if i need to for my other 50cals. With...

So my current thoughts right now are to get dies to swage a 900-1000gr 10s tangent ogive rebated boat tail projectile. Thinking a 0.250" meplat, with a nose length of 1.5-1.7". And an overall...
