Ok, dead thread revival...
I have been playing with the idea of stippling myself. I finally gave it a try with a project I am working on. I made a punch from 3/8" O1 drill rod, hardened and...

JustBill, I bolted mine together haven't had any problems. I am pretty sure there are a few others that bolted theirs together as well. If I remember right I used 3/8-16 cap screws

If I remember, I just used some stainless drill rod I found stashed in the shop.

I don't know the market name, but I used oil impregnated bronze bushings, got them from MSC.

I am going to make a shorter ram and toggle links, when I go back to class, but so far here is the monster. I got the ball handle on it now, just no pics of it yet. Also need to make a wedge for...

I tapped the 1.5 hole by hand, LOTS of cutting oil :) I got one of the 1 1/2-12 to 7/8-14 adapters from RCBS. May never use it, but I like the option in case I ever want to use it.

I tried searching the Denver area for materials to match Aneat's original list, no real luck. Only a couple places carry cold finished, and then it is in very limited sizes, ans they will only sell...

Not sure what bullets you are making, but Richard Corbin (RCE) make an adjustable .360 mold. Which would be used to make cores for .375 bullets if that is what you are after.

His molds are in the...

Pretty much anything metal is going up

So far as I have seen FN offers the only commercially available weapons for it, the P90/PS90 and the 5.7 pistol.

I have seen a niche company offering an AR conversion upper that uses the P90...

I know I just tossed the idea out there, but I'd have to buy something in .50 just because it would be to cool not to if it worked

Saving pennies? I am selling my kids!

Stand corrected, I just saw a thread by BT that he was working on a .338 from .223, originally intended as a .308. If the .223 to .308 can be done, would be worth seeing if the thicker NATO brass...

I don't think I would try swaging to .30 cal, inclined to think it would be more work to go down in size rather than up, more so with NATO brass.

I am curious to see if BT chimes in about the 5.56...

Extra trouble maybe, but what about up sizing 5.56 blanks to .40 jackets? You'd have the extra step of trimming it of course. Only problem maybe is the slightly smaller diameter, and thicker brass....

Where are you guys getting all this 5.7x28 brass I keep hearing about?

I come across it once in a while, but it is usually not that cheap, or in quantities that would get me excited.

Sleepy thread I know.

I am curious about a use for the myriad of deals I am finding on blank 7.62 and 5.56 myself. It is so plentiful and pretty cheap, there has to be some use for it.

BTW,...

I don't have any of my load notes with me, but IMR 8208 XBR pushing a 6o gr Vmax. 23gr will get around 3000FPS, and is a little shy of max load listings. That is commercial brass.

Working on...

I can't tell if that is a black and white or not. If it isn't black & white, what are you using for jackets?

Soon as I get some extra money I will be getting a press from you! Gotta sell some receivers and parts first when I get back.

What caliber molds you plan to offer?

BTW, maybe this thread...

Yup, another dead thread revival I know.

Any news on BarryJ's progress? I would think he has enough equipment to put Sierra and Starline out of business by now. I am really interested in this...

I gotta get home so I can catch up!

I couldn't see the baggie contents, does this "kit" come with the spring too?

Hey all,

I am looking at swaging. My range has a water trap in the pistol lanes, and we can have all the spent bullets we care to carry. I figured melting that stuff down would be good for...

Think I would be able to make enough selling it on the cheap to justify buying a melting pot and ingot cast?

There will be some cast bullets in that mess too, but I would guess 30% or less. So...
