Like the title says, I'm looking to sell my Blackmon press with dies for 22lr to .224. Die set includes de-rimming die, core swage, core seat and point form. Also included is the core mould from...

I purchased a set of .224 dies from him. Wonderful dies for the price.

No much has changed. I got a set of dies from him last year. He's a good fellow to talk to and produces wonderful dies for a fair price.

That's a very fair offer Tatume, I would do it if I didn't have a lathe. Kudos to you alfloyd for helping others out!

Yeah I'm honestly not sure if the dies will hold. I'm currently in the process of making some swage dies in 45 and 40 cal. They're made from O1 tool steel and will be heat treated professionally by a...

Just curious to know the strength of the BSSP. Could it safely swage WW lead to make 40 and 45 cal bullets? I was thinking about swaging some lead boolits to powder coat, but dont want to use pure...

10-4. I may just go a tad smaller on the next one. I have a variety of different diamond lapping compound from very aggressive to super fine. I'll just start small and work my way up to find the...

I dont have pics at the moment. But I got distracted and didn't double/triple check where I left off before going back at it. I probably would of been off anyways if I reached my target of .398". I...

I officially understand the swage die woes......made a core swage die, it came out better than i thought. Next was the core seat die......that's where I screwed up. Just got done boring it and I...

Good to know on the O1, thank you very much kind sir.
Forum: Swaging
I'm in the process of making (attempting) swage dies for my BSSP press. I'm going for 40 cal, but if worse comes to worse, they will be repurposed for 45 cal. I'm working with O1 drill rod for the...

In fact, this thread can be deleted if a mod wants to do so since I changed my mind. You know, to save server space and what not.

I was wanting to do this "on the cheap", i.e by spending no money. But I have changed my mind and will be attempting to make my own dies with the profile I want. I will be leaving the country for a...

I have been reading up, and watching videos about grinding my own from HSS. It seems like the way to go.

I have a Jet 9x20 that I got for a very good price from a very nice person that no longer needed it. Came equipped with tons of stuff, including an authentic Aloris tool post/holder. Been turning a...

Good deal. Im going to scrap the idea of playing with the CH4D die. Time to get some O-1 and attempt a die set. Could you point me inthe correct direction for more details on making a swage die?
Forum: Swaging
My thoughts were to open the hole at the top of the die where the ejection pin goes thru. This way the new, wider shoulder at the tip on the hollowpoint can pass thru. Im not worried about where the...

How would I go about shortening the ogive on the CH4D 101 series 40 cal dies? Im not super crazy about the current profile of the die. I tried adjusting the hollow point pin down, and it dkes give me...

I have similar questions. I will soon be aquiring a lathe and will be attempting to make my own dies for 45 cal. I'm expecting the first several to be wrong in one way or another, but it still...

I didn't even think of that. I may just order a few primer compound packages. I'm well stocked on spent primers.
Forum: Swaging
No kidding! I took some scrap 1x6 pine wood and made my own blocks. Took a fair amount of time to drill all them holes. This seems way quicker considering I have some extra peg board laying around.
