No problem! I'm here most any time!

I've been swaging for 40+ years. Forward pics to: blltsmth@hotmail.com and I'll see if I can ID them for you!! Don

Might want to check out BT Snipers many posts via the search function. Also found this, it may help:

This fine gentleman who contributed much to this forum has passed onto that wonderful reloading room in the sky!

I WAS INFORMED TODAY, 9/17/2018 THAT MATT PASSED ON TO THAT GREAT CARTRIDGE MANUFACTURING PLANT IN THE SKY ON 9/15/2018. HE WILL BE MISSED! Any unresolved issues can be dealt with by his wife,...

I believe the information you seek can be found on Dave Corbins website. He has a chart in one of his downloadable books.

Not in the swaging realm, but CASTING REALM:noebulletmolds.com. They carry a whole bunch of air gun related bullet molds and drawings that may help.

Don't see how that small an increment would make a lot of difference. I regularly bump up 117 grain, .257 bullets to .264 to shoot out of my 6.5 Grendel Howa bolt gun since there are no 117 grain...

Propane torch?

I use the RCBS large primer swaging spud as a gauge. Won't fit>>>>>SMALL PRIMER POCKET!!!

Use the SEARCH function at the top of the page for references on where to find lead. Should be as many opportunities there as there are here.

IF you are looking at only 2 or 3 styles/calibers of bullets to make for the calibers you make most, swaging MIGHT be for you. If you can read and follow directions and have a MENTOR to help along...

I would sort my pellets for roundness and minor dings and dents and use those for cores. Might be cheaper to just buy soft lead here in Swappin and Sellin section and use that. Also in VS section,...

With the price of 22 mags at around $16 a box, probably would not be a prudent project on the outset. The velocity of the 22 TCM would probably strip that rather soft bullet in the rifling at higher...

This happened last year as well!NEW POSTAL RATES ARE: SFRB>>>$7.35 MFRB>>>$13.60 LFRB>>>>$17.15 Got a rude awakening when I went to ship a couple of SFRB'S this morning. LAST Time they...

The 22 mag ir 17HMR brass cut off at the neck is the same brass. Running it into the de-rimmer takes out the rim of the case making it a jacket. From there it can be "massaged" into 243, 257, or...

I'd be in for that if that's reasonable for you. THANKS! Don

Been running it through a 22 mag de-rimmer die. Makes great jackets out to 7mm so far. I f you are picking it up, what would you like to trade for the brass? Don

Make sure after you bake for 20 minutes you remove them with the rack or whatever you are cooking them in and let them cool down for about 5 minutes or so. THEY SHOULD STICK TO A WIRE RACK IF TURNED...

I have found out what BT sniper said above to be very true. I take and anneal all the larger "F" stamped brass to a higher temperature and about 30 seconds longer per batch. It also works better to...

Yea----just got mike bellm's newsletter and it's finally true and at a good price to boot!!!

Really no big trick to it! Buy 32-20 brass from Star Line. Anneal necks in a darkened room until dull red. Use swage lube on cases sparingly so they will not stick while running them into your...

I'm only going to add my 2 cents here. Dig through the ww buckets and make sure they are LEAD. Bring a magnet with you and swirl it through the bucket a couple of times. Those Pesky IRON wheel...
