Any idea on the core moulds?
Type: Posts; User: danielk
I use a lyman 175gr four cavity #401638 mold. Its very soft shooting out of my 6" limited gun and I like it for major power factor in USPSA.

Awesome, thanks for the info guys. I too am using corbins dies. But I'm using BTsniper's de rimming die, and on my hydro press I can crank out 100 derimmed jackets in about 5 mins. His workmanship is...

Specifically talking about seating cores in derimed 22lr jackets. What diameter are you guys bumping them out to when seating the cores? I just did a couple bullets and after I ran them through the...

Brian,
I had sent you one a week or so ago and have yet to get a reply. Let me know if you got it.

For me it depends on what the ammo is for. My 300 winmag I weigh and trickle every charge, this is my hunting and long range stuff. I like knowing I did everything possible for consistency. My 223...

Most people that I knew using this cartridge, back in the old days of USPSA, were loading 115 grain fmjs to around 1.268. Does your barrel have a short throat? Or have you just not tried loading them...

Love it!! Only thing I would change is for it to be cocked and locked.

Also barrel length isn't typically what makes a gun hard to conceal its the grip width and length that...

I just purchased a gun for shooting uspsa limited division in 40 cal so I'll be looking for some brass for reloading.

I love my 45 acp and I love the big holes the 200 gr swc put in the targets!!!

I ordered a csp2 press and a set of H dies from corbins in August had everything by october. 3 months is a far cry from 2+ years.

After look at the pictures closer specifically the measurement on the dial caliper for the 308 case. You'll need to draw the jacket down a bit more. During the bullet swaging process you start with a...

Those would make perfectly good target jackets.

I would shop around before droppin serious money like that. But I ordered a set of H Dies and a Press from Corbin in August and received my order in October. Now my dies were for 224 bullet with a 6s...

I had read the opening post. And if you read my post i did agree with you that subsonic it is a short range cartridge. However in your post "300 AAC BLackout is a 100 yards or less type gun.......
Forum: Swaging
Sorry Duke but I must disagree. A 300 blkout is not a 100 yard and under gun (sub sonic yes). I regularly shoot mine out to 350 yards at a 12 inch plate. Check out this video too. Skip to 7:10 on the...
Forum: Swaging
I've drooled over the subsonic bullet pictured on corbins website many a time. One thing to think about is that forming the rebated boat tail with re-purposed cartridges would probably present some...
Forum: Swaging
I hear ya. I was drooling over all the swaging dies. The bullet die lot went for 1500 and the jacket forming lot went for 700 (i noticed a lead wire extrusion set in the pictures too)!!!!! If only I...

So what all did you buy BT Sniper? I know you had to have been eyeballing the dies!!

Forum: Swaging
from the sounds of it you can do it......... the but in it is what is your definition of being "accurate"? Are we talking 1 moa at 100 yards or are we talking benchrest competition accurate?
