.190 and .191 are my sizes of squirt dies for 224

I would commit to one

Good to hear Ed is still at it.

Back off your base punch or decrease your core weight. You are trying to fill your die with too much material for the cavity size.

If the lead can’t flow out your ejection pin hole, a cracked die...

I hope those that are doing this get stuck with excess inventory if things return to past ways

RCE makes a 50 version of walnut hill. Corbin’s mega-mite may be one of the strongest but is 1400. I think Dillon makes a single stage

5.7 is about the best choice if you can find them. Copper tubing if not

I’ve dealt with Dillon and rcbs customer service. Both have been outstanding. I do believe Dillon has gone very slightly down since MD’s death.

Imperial. I bought a lot of it when they sold to Redding and am on last little tin. Hopefully the green version is the same

Great post especially in these times. There have been lots of questions as to how to make your own caps and this has lots of great information. Thank to those who shared

I am too. I hope they do well with it. I hope Troy with Bullberry Legacy can get woodwork started again. The revolution stocks are nice but they are one of the few for grips, stocks and forend.

In March, they told me mid summer. I didn’t think to ask what year. I ordered one of each for me and the wife when they first announced them. Hopefully they will get it right.

Also, RCBS other items are not as well made today as they were in earlier years. I have a hand primer from the 1990 and it is better built than today’s current version, but this seems to be true with...

Redding standard seater dies are better than rcbs standard seaters to me as I like a drop of high vis fingernail polish to see adjustments. I do prefer rcbs shell holders to all others.

Krayski,

Richard has been stocking the walnut hill lately. I don’t know where he ships or if he will continue to make dies b

RCE trimmer and strippers are the best I’ve used. The Corbin -Dave- works but I much prefer the version Richard pushes

That sounds like a guy back home. Everyone called him gi joe but now it’s one eye Frank. He lost one to shrapnel.

For me, diameter tells if my dies are setup correctly and is the most important. Weight is important but oal means little to me.

What is the best way to cclean old lube out of lubesizer if I want to change lubes? It’s a hard lube so some heat will be required and I don’t want to knock the factory finish off the sizer

You normally use a HP core seating punch to seat the core in the jacket. Then run it into your point form die. The point form die will create the shape of the bullet leaving the hollow cavity.

Depending on what your bench is made of you will soon have rings in the top from tapping the cases. They hurt nothing but brownells or Sinclair sell a little white puck looking real to use for a tap.

Tap cases in like Alstep suggested.

Richard is back at it in limited form. I’ve used both. Richard seems to have more ideas but Dave has the full scale machine shop.

Richard Corbin has a set of 8mm dies check his site also

If your breaking it when removing it, use screwdriver or bench wrench to spread metal piece it snaps into
