Now I have my mini lathe I have made my own RF reforming tool. Fashioned along the lines of the Paco Kelly tool. It makes a FN or HP bullet and I have been forming the Eley 1970's vintage standard velocity ammo of which I have 5000 rounds. The ammo in original form shoots REALLY well but I want to use it on small game and this is my motivation for the tool.
Here tis:
The RF round is inserted into the forming die which is bored to .2248 and has a very deep rim cavity so there is NIL chance of the ammo rim being squashed. The forming punch is slipped in the top and the collar placed on the die. The collar controls the depth of the punch. The punch is struck with a nylon hammer and the collar removed to allow the punch to push the reformed round out.
Here is the 50m result with HP ammo. Group is similar to the accuracy the original ammo produces and the mushroomed bullet is .40cal in diameter and was recovered at 50m from wet phone books.
