I have done it using .45 half jackets to make 9mm jackets. I didn't trim them to a specific length, so they were rough, but worked ok. I bought sizing dies from lee, I think, and made a holder for my...

I only have CH4D dies use .40 cases all the time for .44 and have not seen any problems. I do mill off the rim though and that may alleviate some pressure requirements and I do anneal them. This...

I ordered my dies on Friday of last week and they arrived. I got 9mm and .38/.357. I now have 5 sets of their dies and never a problem. Also, I have used the notching too on 44 mag with CH4D dies and...

I drilled a larger opening, to widen the metplat, on the .38 dies and made a new nose punch on my first set. It looks better and works well, but I ordered another set that I plan to leave alone.

saquatch1 was joking about the spelling in the quote that he included. Defiantly worth the price and wait.

I didn't want him being criticized due to a mis-understanding. It should have said...

I think it would not be problem to reduce an annealed 9mm case as long as you use some kind of lube. i just picked a drill bushing that was close to what I needed and bored it to the correct...

I reduce .45 half jackets to .44 and to .357. i bought hardened drill bushings and made new ram for my Lee press. I should have a posting on this forum from year or 2 ago showing his setup.

I noticed only 1 base punch was in your picture. There were 2 in the box so make sure the other did not get thrown out with the foam packing. One was for the core die and the other was for the nose...

You received them pretty fast. I mailed them Thursday, I think. I typed some instructions on what I do. It was folded in the top of box. Essentially you seat the core in one die and form the point in...

Yep. That is what I use and probabaly most everyone else does also. They work well and are inexpensive.

I have posted a 2 die set of BT Sniper .44 dies in S&S. I have only made a few sample bullets with these. I continued to use my regular CH4D dies because I made various nose punches for those.

What type of cutter did you use? I can't find the right cutter for my milling machine other than a dovetail cutter.

I have a spare set of these. 1 set is BT's and the other is a stock CH set. I am at work but can check tonight and let you know which I am willing to part with and the cost if interested.

I just posted this in swapping and selling if interested. I don't need all that I have and am cleaning house a little bit.

I use the same method as shown here:

My cases would spin sometimes also so I used a center punch to make a bunch of pock marks on the...

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=104778&highlight=milling+jigteh I trim the rims off with this for an old post of mine.

I don't have time to make these except for my own use. Sorry, but I have way too many hobbies, none of which are for me to make money.

I hope this takes you to my post.

I posted pics of my core mold on 5-8-2011. I don't know how to attach it to this post though.

I don't run the the bonded core through the core seating punch for the purpose of seating the core, although it does even out the top of the lead due to a depression from heating the lead. I do it to...

I add 1 more step that I forgot to mention. I use a seating die and the forming die. I don't do the 1 step method. I press the cores in the seating die after bonding them so the boolit is sized to...

I solder about half of mine using the same method you are doing and don't have any wrinkle problems. I wonder if you are annealing the cases before you solder them? They are not hot enough to anneal...

I just posted on swapping and selling for a new set of BT's 2 die set for sale. I came across a lot of jacketed boolits at a very reasonable cost so I don't see me swaging in the forseeable future. ...

$.07 is not bad. It is hardly worth my time to make them out of .40 brass for that. What length are you getting and what is his delivery time frame? Do you know if he makes them or does he have a...

My post directly befroe this describes the adjusting screw. As for weights, I don't know the range. I use for .357 with half jackets or with .32 acp cases, for full jackets, so I only need to make a...
