I have an Air Force Texan SS in .45. Your best bet is to swage your pellets. Cast a close core then swage them, or if your experience is anything like mine, you’ll always be chasing consistency in...

Yeah, I bought a pinch trim die, and along with Brian’s die has made several thousand 40gr loaded and shot through 5.7 with great results.

Preferably, 22 shorts are ideal. It’s just hard to come...

Me too, great concept, but I can’t picture it still, even with the pictures

I’d never seen a post a long those lines. Following out of interest.

What kind of mods were done?

Bent Ramrod, you say yours has “minimal meat”, is yours the “lock’n’load” version? Mine is not. I don’t know if that would make a difference, and until you described yours, I hadn’t even thought...

I’ve never been banned, nor do I think I’ve done anything to warrant it, so I don’t think that part is me being talked about. On the other hand, I am the one BT is talking about. I am pushing close...

Don’t give up, I’m having a conversation

A lot of people talk about it’s not about saving money... that is and isn’t a true statement at the same time. I do look at it as paying up front. But then you do find the next thing or option you...

He’s still around, his website is basically just a PDF price list. The phone number on those PDFs is accurate. I seem to get better response when I call.

I sent you a PM.

Don’t rule out the Blackmon press, it’s my main one for swaging, and since it is horizontal, works better for my situation. But everyone’s situation and needs vary. I liked the price of it as well....

I am in the same boat for a .45 cal air rifle. Any swaging route that you end up going, you should consider you are paying up front for the hobby. I already had a Blackmon swage press, but decided...

Thank you Bill. Your experience has been mine as well, and I was looking for validation. I had a batch I annealed for 55gr and didn’t have any fresh brass, so I did about a 1000. They all seemed...

Shortening a 22lr to roughly the length of a 22short for lighter grain bullets. Pictured is a 22lr, trimmed, a 32 gr core, point formed to a 40 gr hp, next to a 40gr hornady v-max.

Ok, makes sense

Maybe it’s just me, but why not just organize a range day with several buddies and use them?

Corbin’s website details it pretty well...?

They did help, thank you! I just need to wait till wed. The mrs just picked up a .40 and I need to determine my best option for swaging those. One option may involve the need of a reloading...

Possible, 3/4” round? Pm me details?

Score a win for me today! Made a die to expand 5.7 brass for jackets for my Blackmon press! I’m excited! Can’t complain for free.

Brian, I emailed you, when you get a chance.

Just need to slot it for the shell holder now. Perfect die blank otherwise!

I have used the oven in self cleaning mode to great success, but since getting a new oven, the Mrs put a quick end to that.

I’ve moved to using a dedicated lee 10# lead pot that’s never seen lead....
