Good morning all. I've got what I think is a chamber issue. The concerning part about it is.... it's in a Barrett 50bmg. The rifle is an M82. Not that a smaller cartridge isnt dangerous but I...

He's talking about making jackets for Swaging, probably 22lr to .224 jackets, not sizing/de-priming cases.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe BTSniper has made some in the past. Check with him.

I've tried both ways and have always had better luck derimming first, and then annealing. When I first started Swaging I read about both opinions related to annealing. I'd say I tried a couple...

Hey all. I've got a couple 1050's with plenty of Dillon tool heads and calibers, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with the Armanov quick change tool head for either the 1050 or 1100?...

It's very simple. The die cavity is basically a straight wall of the caliber diameter and then the ejection punch has a bored shape to into it that coincides with the ogive (usually slightly smaller...

Yeah of course you can use the pic.

In swaging mode, even the S press requires very little force on the cam over. The Mega Mite almost feels like nothing, just the feel of cam over for most...

I'll add a few variations since I don't see Dave's H dies in recent posts. I've got some finned shotgun sets and .577 Nitro Express and they are monster dies. Also the Mega Mite Press towers over the...

it can definitely be done. After you cut to length, then end round, then during flattening and closing the end of the jacket in the core seat die, it will require a punch dedicated to the tubing...

Test

That's pretty simple mathematics and economics though with Richard being a single man operation doing it as his leisure compared to Dave's being a formal business with employees to pay at minimum....

Awesome thank you very much!!

Hey all, anyone know where this mold came from? It's marked A-455 655 and a two cavity. I haven't cast anything yet but it had bullets in there that I believe were .455 and 230 gr round nose. ...

Yep. I said this exact point in another thread on here last year when Dave sold it.

Yeah they're slowing moving things over. Much of it hasn't been updated. I was watching it about a month ago and it's slowly been added to since then but nowhere near complete obviously.

Yep! Same message. They actually have a neat set of videos they're posting up. Ones the history of Dave and the company on YouTube.

For Blackmon?

+1 to the harbor freight compartment boxes with the blue seals. They come in varying sizes and are sturdy enough for abunch of dies and punches.

You're gonna be ecstatic with the process of swaging jumping from the reloading dies to these. Careful. The bug might get you.

Oh yeah 5.7 cases make great 308 projectiles but I'd guess there'd be an issue on the length vs weight needs for a 32 due to the base of brass turned projectile lengthens the projectile a good bit. ...

Can you explain what you mean by hardened sharpened bolts?

Yep. Stand by.

His ram is the same 5/8-24 thread but his dies are closer to the Corbin M dies dimension wise as they need to retract into the press frame during ejection and the 1" dies are too big diameter wise...

I couldn't quite find a solid yes or no answers so I thought I'd ask the professionals.

For the older Lyman Ideal 4 cavity mold that have the pivot point in front and start opening at the rear of...

Yeah those were what I was referring to in my first post. I have one from Dave but prefer BT's notch die mainly cause it's clear to see the work being done. I havent done any real testing with the...

Ah ok the saber tooth die. I knew of that one. I thought you were saying there was a core seating punch and crimping all in one action.
