5/16" tubing has gotten pretty expensive so I looked at 1/4" tubing and bought 50 feet of ebay which comes out to about 6.5 cents per inch. I am planning to make my own tubing to jacket die as it...

The smell of melting wheel weights is nauseating for me. I found that using lid on my cast iron pot really helps to contain it. When I lift the lid the vapors ignite and it doesn't smell as bad. ...

Nice write-up, nice to know you can use 9mm casings for 357 jackets. If you got 0.800" long just by sizing down to .355 or so, I am thinking that sizing even farther down to .307 would stretch...

I've found that 25gr of several powders worked. TAC, Benchmark, 4895, SW AR Plus, H335. In my latest batch I was using 24.7gr of AR+, it was giving me 3200fps with 55gr from a longer 26" barrel.

Was this at 100 yards?

Hornady 55gr SP (soft point) is one of my most accurate bullets Recently I tested in EABCO 24" barrel (AR15) 1:9 twist and it put 4 out of 5 in same hole at 50 yards.

Throughout few years I emailed Arsenal 4 or so times with the intention to buy a mold and NEVER got a response. Someone suggested I try to message through Facebook and I did; they did respond after...

I cast a lot of Zinc bullets from Zn wheel weights. Zinc actually has crazy springback. I had to make custom sizers that are 1.5 - 2 thousands smaller then target. Also initially I believed that...

Thanks for the response, I actually want to make short 120-130gr bullets for my 300 HAM'R similar to Speer 125gr TNT, so I'll probably need to trim them. If you have any information on what length...

Forgot to add for the punch I took automotive bolt that I machined into punch, I took pneumatic cylinder apart which turned out to be very simple (4 threaded rods and 4 nuts holding it together)...

I made one recently. It was on my To Do list for few years. Very happy the way it turned out. Picked up used cylinder on ebay cheap. My struggle was trying to find the right hose connectors; went...

In my experience, I saw no difference in what lube I used. I tend to overlube as well and it has not been a problem when it comes to de-rimming. That RCBS case lube-2 works well, I've used...

What do you mean by that? Is it better or worse?

I have BTsniper's die, I made my own die and I bought Corbin's die. They all make good jackets. Major difference I found is that Brian's jackets...

A $30 lead wire cutter off AliExpress looks very interesting. I am all about making my own but that's cheap and from the video looks like very fast to operate. I made my own using an idea from...

Interesting, I thought it was a typo when you said ceramic pins. I've seen these triangle ceramic media in Harbor Freight and I was wondering how they would work. I am in the same boat, I've been...

What ogive is your swage dies in 6.5? I want to get some dies and also make it for 6.5 Grendel. I am kind of surprised you had to have a lead tip. There is online store that sells 1.25" 6.5...

So you're supplying Azov battalion with ammo? lol :))) I happen to share the same last name with their commander.

Ok, back to swaging. So 5.06mm is .199" which is what I read somewhere else is...

When you repositioned the camera I noticed your previous case was sticking out quite a bit, maybe 1/4"? I was expecting the next case would crush it! How is that not happening? The finished-sized...

I haven't bother to anneal anything yet. I purchased about 500-600pcs of used brass so there is no shortage of it. I do have my own made annealer although I haven't tried anything with rimmed cases...

Thanks! If you're getting 1.515" than I am not alone. I was just thinking that my gun was crazy out of spec! I realize it's not suppose to touch the shoulder but I didn't want to bump the shoulder...

Thank you, that was very useful. I didn't realize the rimmed cartridges headspace is entirely different measurement. I measured on the shoulder just like all others I am used to with Hornady...

When I measured the headspace on my Winchester 94 fired 30-30 brass I was quite shocked how long it was and how much it varied compared to factory ammo. Factory Winchester ammo measured average...

But why a 45 gas check? If you have dies that can draw a jacket why not start from a clean slate and punch a copper disc and go from there, like its originally done?

It would be cheaper also to...

I smelted a bucket recently, I noticed around 500 degrees it was slushy but for the "foam" to disappear I noted takes about 650 degrees and fluxing with beeswax or marvelux does help. If you take...

I use Lee 4-20 to cast Zinc at 800F. Takes longer to melt but it works.

I annealed it 2 - 3 times during sizing, I found it really helped, without annealing it was be really hard to roll it down and wouldn't go down as much. I put it on the fire brick and run my torch...
