As a former military armourer, and someone who has worked with propellants and explosives for all of my adult life, I can attest that 'ball ammunition' was so named because it is the French word for...

We were. Some people got confused. :)

I use three. Five, if you include a pneumatic press for derimming 22LR cases and a Rockchucker for GP work. I use a Cobrin Series II and two WH presses.

The cores do not come out too large. WRT fixing it to the bench, there's no need. You just don't like the idea of using a ladle. It works fine.

I've never timed myself. Probably four every 15-20 secs. I usually cut my cores using a cutter, but melt all the bits that are left over from various diameters of wire. These are pictures I took...

Another cheaper option is Richard Corbin's adjustable 4 cavity mold. I have one and it works fine.

Agreed.

For different bullets made in one die, you are better off buying some extra pins and trimming them to the correct length. That saves a lot of heartache and fussing with the set up.

If that's the case then you'll need a new die. All the best.

Yes, I agree with this. Typically, for a .224 bullet, the diameter going in should be approx. 0.2235". Pointing up the bullet should bring it to the finished diameter.

That's wonderful, but doesn't really help with his problem. If BT cannot help him via PM or email, he'll probably want the die back to fix things. If that's the case, something is wrong with the die.

Another vote for the Walnut Hill press. You will not regret the purchase. Dave Corbin's presses are okay, but they are not as good as brother Richard's. I own a Series II press - forerunner to the...

And how were the dies? Properly finished? I guess you haven't had a chance to try them yet.

Most 22 brass is worth something. Collect what you can.

22 long brass is the same length as LR. 22 Shorts make dandy 22 Hornet bullets. It's all good.

That was not my pneumatic press. I bought it from the fellow in the video, who is not a manufacturer or vendor. You were inspired by two guys talking about using air to operate a press. :)

As I...

At the risk of this post being deleted, I agree. That's why I don't bother with this place much anymore. Not that it matters to anyone, but I know others feel the same.

The vendor areas are easily...

I've never heard of a failure. In some other thread, I mentioned that the Rockchucker was tough to operate for forming jackets from RF cases. I remember cursing it regularly. I adjusted the die up,...

I own both presses. THE WH is physically larger. It is also built stronger. The materials seem to be the same between the two presses, with the WH having larger diameter columns, a taller overall...

My guess would be higher overhead. Dave Corbin employs several people and has a larger operation than his brother. Richard is a one man show.

He went through a rough patch there for a while. Best quality stuff out there. Most of his designs are what corbins.com would have evolved to had the brothers stayed together.

I know the frustration of being in situations like this, and Lord knows, misery loves company. I think the affect parties should PM each other and formulate a plan for the way forward. I would do...

The tone of the board is different these days. The explanation I got was that many of the mods left after the site changed hands last December. A percentage of the long time members feel the place...

I don't think your link works. I clicked on it and got this: Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

You're welcome.

Well, assuming that the bullets were put together the same way, you can write off the AR when using CCI jackets - unless they're only used for spray and pray. You'll have to assemble a bunch made...

Help me out here. You did not work up these loads. There was some wind and you shot at 200yd. I take it that your AR doesn't like CCI cases for bullet jackets? Bullets made from 22LR cases are like...
