Thank you! I have a Blackmon press and dies already but not sure what he offers due to a lack of information because he doesn't have a website that shows anything like RCE. I was looking at buying...
Forum: Swaging
Just curious if anyone has experience with this die set from RCE? I've been contemplating it for a while now. Oh and if course of you have pictures help.
Forum: Swaging
Wait the lead sticks to the pin in a point form die? The pin should not be pushing on the lead it should be pushing on the meplat of the jacket.

First 2 look like S-Type being that they look to be knurled, if they are smooth then Blackmon but I am not certain I have seen typed cards in Blackmon stuff, I have seen those typed cards in Corbin. ...

3. Looks to be a Dave Corbin Die
4. is either an old RCE or Blackmon but I am thinking Blackmon. They both made horizontal presses if I am not mistaken.

Remind me to block your comments. You say you have never used anything from Blackmon yet state he cuts corners because he is cheaper?

Oh got it. I'm going to look through Corbins website tonight.

Hey thanks for the link. Honestly I do not see the caliber etched into the wheel. A "W" marking with 2662.

Hi all. Haven't been around much, decided to go back to school almost done we'll see how it goes.

Just a pointer if you do not mind.

So it has been a while since I have been on (busy with school) but I shot more of these and still leading. What is the consensus on coating these with PC? Would that work or since under it is...
Forum: Casting Equipment
No but I do have http://arsenalmolds.com/bullet-molds?product_id=137&limit=100 and it works great.
Forum: Cast Boolits
