I have made some round point by using the airsoft plastic bb's and adjusting the depth in the point forming die. Just have to adjust in steps.

Go away Alex, making the rest of us look lazy.........................................

Very enjoyable and informative. I don't need to reload another caliber, but I really enjoyed seeing your operation.

Lyman M Dies are available and the 30 short works great for the 300 Blackout.

Keep seeing on TV that you can use that new Flex Tape to stop any leak..........................................hehehe

Well, went to a group Meet and Greet today in Longview, TX. I took 200 bullets I had made with BT's 45acp from 40 S&W dies. Every one fed, shot, and scored just as designed. In fact, the recoil...

I just found a tire shop with a bucket of wheel weights. Knowing the amount of unusable steel/zinc/etc... what's a good price/pound to offer?

Bet you need to anneal before rolling in the case mouth

I've been taking my brass to 10000F for 10 minutes. Works for me.

You bet, waste of time, money,effort and inefficiency.

Looks like it'll do the job, I just use the Lyman universal brass trimmer with power attachment. My 18v Ryobi drill takes about .45 sec to trim each 40 S&W to 0.738 (which is my ideal) to make 45acp.

Keep me apprised. I'm thinking of getting some but don't want to increase my work.

How do you separate the ceramic media? Easy with a magnet for the pins. What about the ceramic media?

Pretty good bet that dead soft pure, or at most wheel weight.

Congrats, those turned out really nice. That's what ya gota' do. Whatever it takes. Good looking bullets. I found a fairly inexpensive bipod from UTG Here: ...

Oh, isn't that nice?

Are you sure that that brass wasn't subjected to heat that might have annealed it already? Or as the plastic just melted, not charred or exhibiting any signs it was in the 6 to 800o range

Duke, here's what I used and it worked great. Turkey fryer burner at 68,000BTU and a 12" cast iron Dutch Oven:186314186315

I held it at 1000oF for 10 minutes and all the brass came out a...

The higher temperature you use to anneal, the smaller the ogive. Speaking from experience. Last batch of 1000 5.7x28 I did was at 1000oF for 10 minutes. Point formed in Brian's dies...

Thanks. got an item # for that Sinclair product? found the mandrel, couldn't find the die body.

Bill

I got a mandrel from BT sniper specifically for the 5.7x28. Have to be careful though, if you press it to deep in the brass, the brass can get stuck on the mandrel and require a propane torch to get...

I'm hoping that you are wanting to use the brass for swaging and not reloading. You will anneal ALL the brass, not just the neck.
