Have a 10S and going to try a 12S or ULD. Things all have to be perfect for me to get a 1" group at 350yds with the 10S. That may be as good as it gets for me.

A top bullet maker told me to hold J-4 or any untreated jackets at 460* to 470* for two hours in an argon purge oven or keep door closed while cooling. Bring them back shiny by pouring into boiling...

He is drawing back to a softer state but below anneal soft temperature. No sizing involved other than to swage the boat tail.

I understand that the Blackmon kit is only for the older Rockchucker press made in USA with the large dia ram.

Would like advice on lube on jackets with cores seated? I can find plenty of info on lube to carbide dies but I think the tiny amount I see used would stick a bullet in my steel point form die. Have...
