I went to the local John Deere dealer and picked up a used hex shaft 18 inches long and just drilled and tapped it . the hex shaft was off a combine plaatform

How come you just didn't send the die back to the one that sold the conversion to you? I'm sure he would have reset the die back to it's orginial correct settings, replaced parts you where not happy...

I did contact the "maker of the die" this was an early model where holes are off center and a bolt was cut off with a hacksaw. It appears to be drilled by hand, unless the tilt table ws not checked...

about 15.00 in material and a 6yr kid can drill the holes. just some flat iron and reddy rod.
If you can't build one yourself what the H**l are you swaging for or even reloading. if you re loded to...

I just roll the base After all the jackets are cut I throw them in muriatic acid then under the melting pot and after a couple hundred the size them to .301 then start back forming the nose (2...

Why do people think the base has to be so no lead is exposed. I use copper tubing and have never sealed the base. I looked at the Speer Grand slam and the Nosler Partition and those have exposed...

It is complete for whatever caliber it is. I have 2 swag-o-matic and one herters. The herters is a lot stronger. I just got a used lathe that I am rebuilding so that is why I have not been around....

nice job on the bullets. Are the dies homemade? The Hollowpoint looks uniform wnd should get the program done. I would like to see some shot and checked retained weight,

the Lathe is running at 475 rpms. I use any metal I can get my greasy paws on. Normally I like the rockwell hardness to be in the low to mid 40's. For polishing I use cheese cloth that has valve...
