Copy That, and I am thinking after this first round of 250 and 240 we might just see what the limits are of OAL, grain weight, case volume, and powder charge. Working with SUBS should be a lot safer...

Great data, I am gonna see if I can assemble an AR-10(mm) for less than a K-V ��
I have lots of AR parts, so it's pretty likely. If I don't count the prior outlay!

Accurate? I'm sorry, can you supply a link or the full name? Sounds like what I want, ready made cast! Thanks @outpost75!
PS: Looks like a sweet setup!
Forum: Cast Boolits
I will keep that in mind... Thanks!
This is the best so far, only thing I'd like better is a ready made .401 boolit :D I also appreciate the data points.
As a side note, is the DI 10mm...

Perched right at the top of my weight limit, for the R&D stage! These are reasonably priced and prolly easy to resize. Any input on resizing? I also see they make a 240gr Elmer Keith boolit. ...

Ruger LC-9 with a laser, DAO trigger made it too difficult for me at ~15yds to hit a pop can. Impossible in fact, I never did hit it. All the shots were with a 10" circle but I expect I should be...

I'm ready to move this inquiry to the proper section once it's settled.
I thought about swaging but that is lower on the list, as it would require a whole new class of equipment I guess...

Here's the project in a nutshell, MAKING HEAVY BOOLITS for a Subsonic 10mm Project.
Sounds like an oxymoron, why would anyone want subsonic 10mm? GET A FOUGHTY!!! 🤣🤣 Well, the 40 S&W is the...

RCBS pin in LEE Universal De-Capping Die ;)

Currently Illegal, but was legal as recent as the 20-aught years... (2006 I believe)
As for the Zinc Value, it is not economically feasible to melt US Cents, as of yet:...

Thanks!
I have done a little google-Fu and found that the Lee Universal is good for most people, and
just fine with most crimped primer pockets. I have a lathe and can likely make a replacement...
Forum: Swaging
One other thing, I plan on reloading 556 mostly, and have seen that the Lee de-capping pin is not the
most robust player. Can anyone recommend the strongest decapping die and pin set that fits the...

You are the same fellow that sells the swaging dies, correct?
Thanks for the Info! I am about to "pull the trigger" ;)
Forum: Swaging
OK, I looked into this before, and decided for modest swaging requirements, I would buy a Lee.
This was after watching videos and looking around here for advice on econo-swaging setups.
Here's...

Thanks "cuz"! This is where I am looking to land, and in BT's vendor forum he had more info ;)
The Lee Classic Cast looks pretty good, with BT's auto-eject system. I am seeking double-duty...

Learning and picking up bits and pieces, anyone point me to a good starting point?
I do not have any reloading equipment yet, I'd like to find one press that will handle swaging too.
