Thanks Fred, looks I may just need to close the crimp tighter before point forming. it has been a while since I broke out the swaging gear.

Hey Fred, out of curiosity, would you use the rounding over die before or after notching? I currently just use the Hornady Blank crimp die and I do not a nice rolled over look.

M.A.D... thanks for the heads up!

Richard (RCE) or Dave?

Thanks Uncle Dino

Thanks, that's a bummer I was hoping had start making compatible dies but figured it was the adapter and the S dies.

Would you guys mind copying what was in the email, I haven't bought from Dave so no email, and I only saw adapters listed on his site. Thanks!

Try Armslist, like craigslist but for guns and related stuff.

I would suggest going to the swaging forum and looking at the plans for ANEATS press (I believe that is who is responsible for it, sorry if it is not). I believe it is a sticky on the swaging...

I wouldn't can plain beans, because it would be a waste. When I can beans they are in either ham and bean soup or my family's baked bean recipe.

Yup, my understanding is that the salt is for flavor not actually preserving when you pressure can. I leave it out in most of the stuff I can because depending on what I turned the canned product...

I am down to my last couple of jars of hamburger, it works great for quick meals. Open dump in skillet add flavoring such as taco seasoning. One thing I do instead of salt is I add a tsp of beef...

I'm sure BT will answer, he is a one man shop, so sometime it takes him a bit. I have bought from him before and he is always happy to help with questions.

Lablover,

I believe you are correct (not familiar with Blackman Dies specifically but general swage dies) you would just need a new base punch (probably flat) and then a top punch the would have...

Glad to hear it worked out for you Fisherman, I have high hopes. My wife already has the envelopes set aside, she is excited for that, that will take some getting used to for me. Mainly because I...

The more I think about getting debt free the more excited I get. Hopefully paying cash and tracking everything will help avoid the $10 here $20 there that suddenly adds up to a few hundred bucks at...

NYFirefight357, as far as tools go, I am definitely on the same page as you. If I buy a tool for a certain purpose and use it I don't usually get rid of it. Goofy as it sounds I never "needed" the...

Funny you should say that...that's the path we are heading down. My wife had a co-worker that raved about how it worked for them so she read the book. She asked me to read it, I read it and we both...

As much as I'd like to think about retiring, I am a solid 25-32 years away from that (I just turned 30) so I think I will have time to replace it if I need.

When I need pistol ammo I still have...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I have multiple other presses and have no desire to give up reloading. I figure the press will bring enough to cover the new vacuum and the lee classic cast with a few...

Tazlaw, as far as the truck goes, I just got a new (to me) pickup in October and I want to make sure she doens't get any ideas about me going back to an Impala, lol. As far as presses go, I could...

Sorry for the long winded post (actual question at the bottom if your don't want to read my ramblings), but I have processed a lot over this past weekend and am curious if anyone else has given this...

I got mine from Titan yesterday, I think no ordered in November. I had gotten a partial refund earlier. I believe it had to do with the aware parts and what was included (I have the aware stuff I...
