These are Sierra jackets. When I backed off on seating pressure, problem went away.
Forum: Swaging
There is ~0.020" radial clearance. I have been letting them sit for a five count at the bottom of the press stroke.
Forum: Swaging
Looks like it was too much pressure and the taper of the boat tail was pushing the core out.
Forum: Swaging
I have an ultrasonic that I can run the jackets through. If I use a punch that is too small and bleeds by they don't come loose.
Forum: Swaging
The diameter of the jacket after seating is 0.2433. If I bump the pressure up the jackets pop at the lead line. I don't think I have any more room there.
Forum: Swaging
Checked that, there is 0.022" clearance all the way around. I have found that if I back off some and don't make the base as filled out the problem seems to go away. Don't get a squared base that way...

I am sure that I am doing something wrong. I am seating cores in 6mm rebates boat tail dies and on the upstroke the cores are jumping up in the jacket. Sometimes the core comes all the way to the...

Hadn’t heard, I guess I should have ordered the set I was talking to him about earlier this year.

Don’t forget George Ulrich. Great guy to talk to and gets great reviews.

I just talked to George yesterday. Had a couple of guys on the Accurate Shooters forum say they couldn’t get the same tolerances out of steel as George gets out of carbide. I have seen some nice...

Is there any accuracy potential difference between bullets produced from steel vs carbide dies? Is one material more accurately machines than the other? Really trying to determine if steel dies are...
Forum: Swaging
The biggest problem I am having is setting the point forming due for the longest jacket. Without some sorting I get an odd jacket longer than what I set the due for and the bullet sticks in the die.
Forum: Swaging
I have read repeatedly that sorting by headstamp is a needed step. When I do that, I get jackets with a nominal +/- 0.003” variation. The problem is the odd flier that is 0.008-0.010” out. If I don’t...

Take a look at Malkoff Devices. They make drop in heads and full lights. I have several, they perform well and have held up.

For the price, it is hard to beat the Larue MBT trigger.

Think I figured it out. The inside of the die looks fine and I cleaned it really well (boiled out, brake cleaner, then q-tip) before this run. I tried the boat tail core die and everything ran...

I am using Corbin swage lube for 55 grain 0.224 bullets from derimmed 22lr cases on a Corbin CSP-1 press. The jackets are derimmed on using a Corbin die and then annealed in a heat treat oven prior...

Any tips for using? I picked one up second hand, not sure of the maker. Seems to be more finicky than a 6S die. More lube seems to help some, but tends to stick on ejection. Thanks
