just saw your post on the boat tail RD. when will it be available in this set?

[BT Sniper]

been getting a lot of inquires latly and busy making dies 24-7.

here is a look at the bullets these dies make vs. various commercial 22 cal bullets I had on hand.

Speer 55 grain SP, Speer 52 gr HP, Standard Winchester 55 grain FMJ, Sierra 52 grain match (notice same ogive as the bullet die I offer!), BTSniper 56 grain 22lr jacketed bullet, Sierra 60 grain (again notice perfect match to ogive!)









All loaded up next to the Sierra 60 grain bullets!

Soon as I have time to make a couple bullets and check the results. The dies are machined I just need to check their perfection. Not long!

How would all of you waiting for the core seat and point form dies feel about yoru dies looking like this? I'm sure most of you can't wait and want the rest of the dies as soon as possible but check out the potential upgrade at no additional charge I have to offer all of you with a current set of dies on order. I think you all might just like what you see and the addvantages are off the chart! Trust me! This makes an incredible set of dies and will benifit everyone! Additional wait time to add this up grade to dies on order will only be an additional week, two at most, tacked on to current delivery schedule if you all are interested.

Take a look at the pics and check out this thread for details.

Center die is what I am willing to offer at no additional charge to all of you with a 22 cal set of dies on order. Probably apply this process to the core seat die too. Core swage die is also a possibility even for those of you that allready received it, then you can have a matching set!



Let me know what you guys think.

Thank you for your support and patience. These dies are awesome! Even better if you guys don't mind them Black!

Brian -

I'm in for the Nitride treated dies on my pending order. I don't know if I can stand waiting another 1-2 weeks, but I'll find something to do... .

Based on where I'm at on your list, will the boat tail version of the dies be tested / ready without adding additional time to the order? I've got several thousand pieces of .22 brass sorted out by headstamp, so I'm just about as ready for those first pieces to come in as possible!

[BT Sniper]

Boat tail dies will be seperate from any current dies that may have been already purchased. The core seat dies are different as well as the point form base punch. I'll see what kind of offers I can make when I have the boat tail dies ready. At this time I'm not taking orders for Boat tail dies just yet.

This Nitride treatment is necessary for the boat tail dies as I plan to offer it. With all of your point form dies allready nitride prossesed it would be a lot easier and cheaper for you guys if you ever wish to convert to making boat tail bullets in the future.

Right now I am really seaking anyone that doesn't want the black nitride process done to their dies to speek up because as I see it this upgrade to the dies will benifit you guys as much as it will benifit me, better more accurate bullets, signifacantly less chance for stuck bullet in the point form die (means less frustration for you and less time I need to spend removing stuck bullets), longer life of die, there is no down side! I'm going to send all the core seat and point form dies in for this treatment as soon as they are ready, unless you guys say otherwise.

i am absolutely drooling. im about to sell all 10k of my 224 projectiles to fund these dies! but idk if i can make that commitment!!! really would save me a lot if i could swage for my fiveseven and ar. what would be the shortest length you could squeeze one of these to? i normally load 40gr hornady vmax for the 5.7

[BT Sniper]

That certainly would be commitment! I think I would sell a spare gun first just to hold on to all the bullets I could. But I'll be happy to set you up with anything you need.

I see no reason a great 40 cal bullet can not be made. You would need to trim the 22lr first for best results. I'll post a pic of the jig I use soon that I trim 17HMR with, certainly works great!

Brian:
are you gonna nitride the 308 dies too?
Lamar.

[BT Sniper]

Yes! Those darn 30 cal dies. I am going to redo my entire stock of 30 cal point form dies. The ones I have now I made with an older reamer I had and my technique was not quite as perfected as it is now plus I just got my new carbide 6s 30 cal reamer today. I was able to perfect some of the orginal dies and it was the same tools and reamer I used to make my die that shoots .215 moa. The couple 30 cal dies I did send out I will notifiy of the potential for a new and improved black nitride die if need be. So everyone waiting on any riffle caliber die can expect an Awesome set of new BTSniper "Black Ops" dies! The least I can do for all your patience. These dies will be well..... Awesome! Matter of fact any of you with pistol caliber or big bore dies on order reading this let me know now before I send the dies in to be nitride processed!

Thanks

I am in for the "Black Opps" Nitride treatment.

I'm in, PM sent

Improved surface treatment sounds good to me. Have you investigated as to whether the thickness of the treatment will affect your machining of the bores? I remember a job or two that had to be measured as dry as we could get them as the thickness of the coolant would tend to throw our measurements out of tolerance. Ahh, the good old days....though I didn't think so while I was cutting the parts!

[BT Sniper]

Yes I did. I sent a test die that was .2241 and it came back .2241! We are good to go! The treatment some how ingrains it's self into the structure of the metal rather then on top of it as I understand it. Whatever it is or does it allows the dies to perform magic now!

I'm in Brian, waited this long, another 1-2 wks isn't going to matter. My investment just looks better & better every month w/ prices of bullets going up IF you can find any bullets to buy.

[nhrifle]

That's one of the problems lately. I still have a stock of .224 bullets to feed my AR, but have not shot it as much as I would like to since they are so scarce and hard to replace. Brian, your dies are going to be a lifesaver for us, and they couldn't come at a better time.

[runfiverun]

sweet.
actually the wait has worked out very well for me.
it prompted me to get off the fence on a h/v lead boolit project i have been sitting on for a while and get some measuring,case fitting,and shooting done.

[DukeInFlorida]

Nitride mine!!

And, perhaps instead of scrapping the current dies, maybe you could re-ream those into .313/.312/.311 size...... for those of us who would like to be able to also make swaged bullets to feed our Lee Enfields and Mosin Nagants.

Novel idea, eh?

Thanks for going the extra mile for us!

[BT Sniper]

Yep that is the idea with the current 30 cal point form dies, they will get bumped up to next sizes.
