Shorten your wad stack slightly, with a little longer roll crimp and you won't contact slug with roll crimper. D

That 20 ga slug is 410 grains.. just shy of an ounce. D

The only issue I see with that mold is that it is not hollow base and the slug will tumble. For smooth bore the slug must be a weight forward design. Rifled barrel it would be fine. D

Direct flame is by far superior to any method that
I have found. I think I've tried them all. Heat the jacket quickly with corbin bonding fluid and your results will be perfect every time. D

Heres a copy of the email

I recieved an email from Corbin manufacturing that they will be making dies to fit walnut hill and sea gurt presses. They will also support, repair and offer press parts. D

Mines a 3 ton ..with a 3 foot handle. Maybe different gear ratio or something..d

Ok. For very light swaging tasks it does work... small diameter bullet with a deep open tip.. I was trying to core swage 45 cal on mine.. no dice.. looks good. D

M98k. Have you by any chance tried to swage on an arbor press? The mechanical advantage is different than a reloading or swaging press. I tried it with no success. Might want to try just a...

Absolutely fantastic Hal... You guys getting it done.. Congratulations. D

Nice harvest Hal!

The biggest difference I can see in paradox and modern rifled shotguns is the rifling. From pictures I have seen. Rifling on paradox has very narrow lands and wide grooves. Modern rifled shotgun...

2.5 is loaded length for 2.75 chamber. There is no roll or star crimp. So I assume would give proper height for a 2.75 load. Just not so sure if they will work well for a slug load. Internal...

Lb. I think it's all about recoil.. I find myself grabbing a 20 rather than a 12 anymore. D

Congrats Hal !! Funny how the laws of nature and physics change as we age..lol. D

Why does nose have to be polymer? Copper cup would work..d

I'd buy one in a heartbeat..d

Very sad news, RIP Carl. D

Your easiest solution woud be to buy a reducing die for your current set. 1/2 copper is much easier to get.. and will reduce to 40 cal with no problem..d

No issues... Not reloading aluminum cases.. Making aluminum bullet components..d

Yes. Email him, he shipped my dies today.. D

CG that's good to know. I'll give it a try..d

This aluminum is the hardest I can use without tearing or cracking.. It draws very well, and is quite an extreme draw.. I know lube is the issue with the galling, quite a lot of heat is generated, as...

I have to make 3 draws on this part.. Would be awesome if I could find something that doesn't dry out right away.. That way I don't have to re apply for every operation.. Cleanup isn't an issue .or...

Never thought about water soluble.. Wonder how wire pulling lube would work..d
