David,

We require your lead type as well as the size dies you use.

While I can understand your impatience with us not having Mark VI sizers on the shelves, we have been working to get a manufacturing facility set up and running. These things do not just happen on...

We are doing our best working day in and out to complete the machines, and are making some very good headway. The pots and carrier bars have come in, and are being machined right now. While we are...

We apologize for any inconvenience which has come from this group buy. I will admit that having a buyers choice group buy was a novice mistake. It was not profitable at all. We have had a lot of...

Yes we have had major problems with machinery. When we started we were using a 1980's Yamazen knee mill with an Allen Bradley controller. It is a good mill, but was being overworked. We purchased a...

Hello Everyone,

We are very busy here at Ballisti-Cast. I will first off apologize for not being entirely available to talk to. I have been spending my time in the shop.

We have had some CNC...

Hello Everyone,
We have been very busy with the current production run of our Mark X machines. The commercial casting market has picked up and we have been busy building those machines as well. ...

Feel free to contact us with any questions you have about your machine. We also would like to hear about the current problems our equipment is encountering in order to prevent the same trouble with...

We have hired on a Machinist to cut bullet molds for us. He starts on Sunday. We are doing our very best to get on top of the work load.

Thank you,

Hello Everyone,
We are not taking any more orders for the Mark X or Mark IV machines at this time if you have not had prior communication with us. We have hired on an additional machinist to help...

You are correct in the calculations, but a 230 grain bullet will slow the machine from the casting speed of a smaller bullet due to overheating. Anticipate between 40-50 pounds an hour (1200...

In response to your question's about mounting the Mark IV,X machines. The mounting holes are designed for a 1/4" Socket Headed Cap Screw which is counter bored for a flush mount.

We have a sense of humor too and were only half serious. Since you bring up the point though, yes, it is imparative for the operator to take precautions when using our equipment. Saftey glasses,...

We will have to add a disclaimer in the Owners Manual on lower extremeties being wrapped up in, crushed, or burned due to improper use of our products.

Hello Everyone,
We are sorry that this group buy has gotten drug out so far for some of you. I thought I had posted an update on the 18'th in response to 376Steyr, but must have forgotten to click...

PM Received Jixxerbill and Dromia.

We dropped the mold for Edd in the mail today.

Thank You,
Ballisti-Cast

Just finished up a mold that casts .2885" bullets. We're sending it out to Edd tomorrow for approval and then will cut the rest once we hear from him.

Update: Mark IV drive shafts are done. They will be painted in the morning and assembly will start once the paint is dry. The control boxes still need to be machined, which will happen this week.

We just made up some sprue plates without a trough. If you want this style on the mold instead of the standard style with the trough send us an email to sales@ballisti-cast.com with 7mm...

Here's what the finished molds will look like. They will be cut on a CNC mill instead of manually how we have been doing it up to this point. It took a quite a few trials to get rid of all the...

Sorry had to post it. The bullets were dropping at .290" instead of .288" with this mold so we have to cut another one with a smaller diameter and get it sent to Edd. We also made...

Hello Everyone,
