    so far, i have recieved a great response.. i've made my minimum, so i'll start produceing them.

    everyone who has asked to be added to the list, has been added.

    once i finish die sets, i'll contact the first person on the list with pics of the finished die, and pics of the test swag bullets made with them.

    i'll work down the list as they are produced.

    ETA should be about 3 weeks..

    if i get more people here as time goes on, i'll add them to the list as well.. and we'll see if i can keep up.. if i cant keep up, then the ETA will be a little longer for those at the bottom of the list.. worse case, i'll just put more people on the production line.

    thanks,
    Dan

    Put me down for a full set as well. Can we see some close-up pics of single bullets? Also would like to see pics of your dies. Thank you.

    sounds like there needs to be a skype meeting. I saw them and they do look good. I think that dan has found a way to make these cheap for people just wanting to get into it.

    Now I reckon I need to order me a Lee 6-cavity blank mold so I can drill it out for cores.

    Dang.. didn't see this.. I'd definitely be in for a set.. though I'm working on a "better mousetrap" for the derimming part.. either way, at that price, I think I'd like to be in on that. Any way to get a slight bevel base/boat tail for aid in loading on a progressive?

    What is the chances of getting a large multi-cavity core mold group buy started?

    Found this in a search:

    I'm in for a full set. I'm also interested in a core mold group buy, depending on price.

    I do believe that this one comes with a swaging seating combo die. Seat the lead at the same time you swage it for the correct weight.

    you could do that.. or you could use lead wire..
    or i could see if i could find some time to make you a mold for cores.

    i would emagine you would want the mold to be adjustable so that you could adjust the core weight.. lol. yep, i can make those types as well.

    but i dont know about what the cost of one of these molds would be.. i'm still in Die production mode. i'll try and crunch the numbers for the core molds in the next day or so..

    Danr,
    Does your core swage die seat and swage the core at the same time or does it swage it to size and squirt off any excess lead with the core seating a separate operation?

    the core seating die is a all in one die.. the punch for it has a bleed hole for the lead, it will seat the core into the case all in one motion.



    thanks,

    So I can cast cores to a size just over what I want and then use the core seating die to squish it down by a little bit bleeding out, to the size I want? Weight wise that is.

    So I want to make 55gr and my jacket is 10gr and I cast a 50gr core. I can bleed off 5gr when I seat the core?
