I think I need to replace the spring on my Hornady AP that pulls the primer slide into place when lowering the shell plate. I have about 30k cycles on this press. Midway USA sells them for $3 plus...

I'm not sure if he would have time to do it, but I believe BT Sniper has the ability to make them. Try to contact him directly. Best of luck and let us know if you are able to source some dies.

baddoglowder, I have a 22lr to 223 jacket die set for my Walnut Hill press. But I have not purchased the 223 bullet making dies. I'm saving my pennies for it though. There are about $550 from RCE.

What do you have from BT that's made for your Walnut Hill?

Super47, do you add anything to the ceramic media? That looks good!

Nice work! Can this same set of dies use commercial jackets to make bullets? Or are you limited to only using 9mm brass?

I recently got into casting by buying someone else's setup. With all the stuff I bought was about 40 LBs of COWW. I also have about 10 LBs of roofing lead. Before buying the casting equipment, I...

Does anyone have experience casting with a harder lead alloy (wheel weight) and using that bullet to swage into a perfect shape? I know swaging dies are designed for pure lead (or really close to...

The middle sounds like a good place for your needs. The only way to know for sure is to try it though. Let us know how it works out for you.

After Outpost75 told me the name Powley Computer for Handloaders, I googled it. It appears someone set up a free website that a person can enter their parameters and it will give outputs of powder...

Anyone ever use the Powley Computer for Handloaders?

Fantastic idea! As previously stated, sorting bullets is another great use.

I have heard of a slide rule type device that gives the operator the correct powder and weight for a given case capacity and bullet diameter. I heard about this device years ago and now I can not...

Looks like Zbench would be a little cheaper than RCECO because shipping is included. I also noticed he sells range scrap that has about 2% antimony. Do you all think 2% antimony is too high? He...

Where do you buy lead wire for swaging? The cheapest I can find is RCECO for $78 per 25LB spool. I thought I saw someone in the vendor section selling lead spools at a good price. Now I don't see...

They can be a PITA to de-cap, but my reloads shot just fine. Granted it was at a indoor steel plate match, targets were at 28 feet away.

Zbench, thanks for the explanation! I now understand what you mean.
Forum: Swaging
Zbench, what could you not do with the hand crank cannelure that the automated machine can do? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm very new to swaging and still have not got to the point of needing...

BT, I just sent you a PM. I sent the first on on 3/19. If you do not see them, please PM me so I can just reply back. Thanks

I recently purchased a new Walnut Hill press. Besides RCECO and Corbin Manufacturing (with the adaptor bushings) does anyone else make die and punch sets to fit the Walnut Hill press? I am interested...

*UPDATE: I ordered the Walnut Hill, two die sets, the reloading adaptor, and lead wire cutting tool from Richard on 2/27. I received everything on 3/9. In my original order, I forgot to include the...

DukeInFlorida, can you describe your fixture for cutting 223 for 9mm, or maybe a pic? Also, what saw blade are you using? Thanks

I'm sure these cartridges were about the most efficient way to burn out a barrel. But I would still like to make an inert cartridge or two just to put on my shelf.
