Did Lee ever make this mold in .454 diameter?
All I can find is Lee 6 Cavity 452-255-RF now-a-days, but the older one I'm using drops WW bullets at .454, which my
Uberti '73 rifle just loves. I'd...

You can take a safety pin about the size of the one that comes on an AR15 bandoleer and cut off the catch end, and the point end, then spread it a bit and put it on the inside of the primer catch...

It seems that as is is the way to go.

Thanks, gents!

Can copper jackets purchased from Richard Corbin be used "as is" or should they be annealed first?

Thanks,

Tim does a stellar job with his .22 bullet dies also. His core swage moulds are very consistent when locked in.

I'm off to the NRA Whittington Center this weekend for the Cowboy Lever Silhouette...

Does the lanolin for case or core swage lube have to be in paste form, or can lanolin oil be used?

Curious because I have several bottles of lanolin oil hanging around.

Thanks in advance.

How long after rinsing in the White vinegar should I wait for the cores to oxidize? These cores went from nice and shiny to dull grey almost instantly.

What is the best way to oxidize cores and what is the best thing to use for oxidation?

Thanks in advance

Is it critical to trim rimfire jackets to a specific length for, say, 55 gr bullets, or can they be used as is.

Is there a chart for jacket lengths if trimming is required?

Thanks in advance

What will the price point be for these dies?

Aww, heck. Gimme. I'm in.

Does anyone have the diameter for cast cores in .30 cal as they come out of the mould? I need to get a core mould for .30 cal and want to see if I can make some kind of mould at home.

Thanks,...

I wouldn't mind a profile similar to that of a 125 Sierra SMK for the 300 BLK.

Howdy gents!

I spoke to U.P. North yesterday and I thought I pass on an update to the board.

As you know, he's been a bit hard to get ahold of these last few months. He was put out of...

Another vote for the lanolin/Isopropyl lube. I've seen using Dillon Spray lube for de-riming since I started. Best thing ever.

My annealing is done after de-riming. The main reason for water quenching is that I don't have a lot of room to leave hot jackets on the bench while doing other things, so into a 5 gallon bucket of...

Thanks guys. I've got almost 40,000 jackets made and I didn't want to re-anneal them all over again.

I've been annealing my jackets made from .22 rimfire cases in a Lyman Master Caster 20 Lb pot. Depending on where I put the thermometer in the pot, the temps go from 730 to 775. They stay in the pot...

I built my de-rimming press just like this one.

The only difference is my air cylinder is a 4" stroke, 4" bore. I'm also...

What are you guys using to separate the .22 cases from the stainless media? This last batch I did by hand, but the batch turned out to be 2800 cases and that took waaaay too long to separate. The...

Bill,
The air cylinder is set up with 1/4 inch diameter nylon air line from the toggle block to the actual cylinder. One of the fittings is set up with a regulator, which I found this afternoon was...

I finally have all the parts for my de-riming machine put together and have a few questions on correct operations.

First, what psi should I be running the press? Since I'm on the road what I have...

Can nickel .22 cases be swaged or does the nickel flake off and mess things up?

I'm getting these cases for free. So far I've filled one 5 gallon bucket. I've got 4 more empty ones to fill. Should take about 5 more hours. Then I'll be set for life.

Just a quick question. I'm able to get buckets of .22 cases that are range pickups, but a lot are tarnished to the point of being that blue-ish/black color from being outside.

Can these cases be...

Thanks, BT. Order outbound!
