I was requested by a commercial caster to make punches that would have the bullet clear the short die with every stroke. Easy task if the die is back bored a bit. The backboring protects the exit...

Thanks for all the response.

Ascast, I make my custom m-dies from grade 8, 9/16 fine thread bolts. Cut the hex head off and machine the unthreaded shank portion into the expander you want. They wear pretty good. And there is no...

Would any of you have a Star die catalog showing the largest size die Star offered to it's customers? Magma too for that matter. I am getting requests that leave dang little meat in the lube area.

I can make them but you will have to pay postage. Pm me.

I can make any diameter punch you need under .500" pm me.

January 1985 I saw a winchester ad for the model 94 xtr ae and had to have one. So I had a lgs order one up, and I still have it. With the 24" bbl it performs just like Mr Waters said it would. And...

Call me crazy but about 4 years ago I chambered a barrel in 6.5 grendel for a takedown 99 Savage. It doesn't feed flawlessly but it will feed reliably. It has a 24" 1 in 8" twist barrel. With the...

Thanks for the kind words Floyd. I am getting the hardening thing down, and I am ready to offer them now for the super high volume guys. Long/lube style and short dies for coated boolits.

I don't post very much anymore, but I have been hanging with the charter members of this tribe since 1999 when it was "Shooters". I am a retired maintenance machinist with a small shop in a icecold...

I am making "Star style" dies. As of yet they are unhardened, but I have a small forge being delivered Wed. In the meantime I have been experimenting. One experiment is with a .310" die that has a...

I can make this die for you with custom hole spacing/placing. I make them one at a time. Ain't nothing I won't give effort to.

I am making these. Pm me

I can make you one pm me.

Thank you for the kind words.

More important than the mould material is the quality of your alloy. For years I strived to find the moulds that cast best. Then I found a source for top quality alloying metals and ALL my moulds...

Pm me if you find that you need an oversize die.

This may have already been mentioned, but the difference in head diameter really only matters once. From then on they come out of a 6.5x55 size die with the same body diameter as 6.5x55 orig brass....

Nice buck and story.

Other benefits could be moving the center of gravity toward the drive band area of the boolit more. But no more would be gained over a round hollow point.
