My wife said "nice sorts" as she walked by.

If you click on the photo it is labeled "50 yards - 4 shots."

Hope that helps

Like someone else said, just use an optical switch, like a garage door opener. There is a video on YouTube of a can crusher with optical safety.

I think I am going to send my swage die in for a tune up. Thank you for offering the service.

I was looking over at the Corbin site yesterday. Is that the info they post on their site?

Thanks for posting it
jonblack

Thanks for the reply. I was look at the Corbin site earlier. I have not really explored to idea of swaging with real jackets. My only experience with swaging has been the 9mm brass -> 40 projectile...

Original post updated with photo, measurement, and weight of spool.

.30 cal, huh? What are my option in swage dies and what is a good source of jackets? I have been dreaming of BT Sniper's 5.7x28...

Hey guys

A friend of mine has an old roll of lead wire. Would this wire be good for making swaged projectiles? If so, what calibers is this wire useful for?...

I am no machinist, so please forgive me if I step on any toes. However, it seems to me that it would have been much easier to get uniform depth by drilling all the way through and then using a solid...

BT - I know you don't need any words of encouragement. Having said that, you are doing a great job and really pushing the boundaries of DIY swaging. You are providing a great service and showing...

I dunno, looking at the photo with two D cell batteries, doesn't look like you had enough current to produce satisfactory results. Did you try your experiment with a larger capacity battery?

Wait!...

I thought I would mention the Evolution Rage just in case anyone wants a larger saw to gut through larger pieces of metal. I think they are under $300.

Here is a YouTube video of it

Thanks for your help, but the Insert Link tool is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a way to embed a YouTube video into the actual thread, so that you can watch the videos...

BT

I took the liberty of uploading one of your videos to my YouTube account so I could assist you in the process of viewing your videos easier here on CB. I will gladly remove the video if you...

BT

If you post the videos on YouTube I believe you can embed them right in the forum. I think it will also give you more exposure for your swaging dies as I believe more people watch videos on...

With all due respect, I have been a Paypal member since their beginning, which I believe is about 11 years now. Paypal does, in fact, have a phone number listed on the website, and I have called them...

Hello

I want to run this by you guys and see if you think this alloy will be fine. I will be casting bullets for a 9mm Glock with aftermarket barrel, .40 Glock with aftermarket barrel and Kel Tec...

Regarding Paypal, it is against the terms of use to charge a surcharge for accepting Paypal. Many sellers do this and they risk not being protected by the Seller Protection Agreement by doing so.

I was wondering how one would go about verifying the alloy.

Your Sn percentages are the same. Must be a typo?

jonblack

Hey, that is a good deal!

Yes, you are right. I didn't leave the add up long enough. Probably should have left it up for a while. Might have sold a few, but then I wouldn't have anything to...

Your example is not really a direct comparison. I made a direct comparison in price between my 38/62 and their 40/60. Yes, there is a difference in alloy but a fair enough comparison. I was cheaper...

When you say one ingot would sweetend 95 lbs of WW, are you referring to clip-on WW? I just wanted to make sure and differentiate between stick-on WW.

Thank you
jonblack

The weird thing is my 5 pound bar of 38/62 was $20 plus $4.95 shipping, which works out to $5 per pound shipped. The price got cheaper if you bought more than one bar because the shipping gets...

I pulled the ad on the wiping solder bars due to lack of interest. I'd rather hold onto it than sell it at a price that I will regret latter.
