    Thanks, Brian, for the update. While sitting in the hospital, I am allowing my mind to wander towards the things I like to do. Swaging bullets is high on that list.

    Thanks Brain, look forward to some winter swaging on the weekends. Not that we have terrible weather in Socal, about the only thing that works here is the weather.

    I'm anxious, but I think you are more worried than we are. You're doing such a perfectionist job, we can't help but be pleased...

    It can be a bit stressful keeping everyone waiting anxiously for their orders but I'm very pleased with the results as well as my pace and progress. Everyone of these core molds I had second thoughts that I should be keeping any one of them for myself because they are that much better then what I use. That is when I know I have done my job and will feel proud to offer these products. If I don't for a split second think I should keep it for myself because it is that good I don't offer it.

    I'll keep you all posted.

    Brian, We've seen pictures.. You keep talking about the final product being better than we expect. We see more pictures.... And get excited..

    I for one can be patient. (Mostly because I've got a lot of other things on my plate.) I still need to put a bench together that can withstand swaging. Having seen Duke demo your 40 to .44 one step dies I'm certain it will be worth the wait.

    Hey, Chuck!
    You'll be very busy with swaging once your tools arrive.

    How's the mountain of lead doing???

    If you haven't heard, I have developed cancer, and will be spending this winter also in Maine (again). I hope that you have developed a way to process all that lead.

    Brian, I am comfortable that you are doing what you are doing, at a careful pace, allowing yourself to be with family, and keeping yourself happy and healthy. We don't want you burning out. We will continue to see (products and pictures) of wonderful things.

    Duke,
    I'll PM you so as to not hijack this thread.. The pile does seem like a mountain, but I'm chippin' away at it.

    Brian,
    As a former workaholic myself (and as Duke reminds all of us) take time for your family!

    I'm making great progress. Working on all orders daily. This weekend was spent making several base punches.

    I'm making extra sets of everything with the plan to have this great die package in stock for quicker sales.

    Thank you all for your patience.

    I've got the lead and brass, now to get the funds together for the kit. I'll get the couple of 5.7 cases I have kicking around over to you like I promised on FB. Not many, but I doubt you'd say no to free brass I don't need, right?

    Finished up all the Lee threaded ram tops last night. Will be putting the the derim dies together today. I will be suppling you guys with two seperate punches for the derim die, one is .005 smaller then the standard one I use. The smaller one will be easier to derim with, the larger one will iron out the fold of the rim a bit better. You guys can give me some feed back with which one you like better.

    I want to get the derim dies and core molds in the mail to you all just as soon as I can. I should be boxing them up by end of this up coming week so you can can have them over the Thanks Giving holiday.

    Thanks for your support and patience.

    Hot-dam. Maybe get the die in time to use as a turkey-worker-offer. I cook Thanksgiving dinner so the day will be full but, there's always the night. Thanks Brian. Pounds and pounds of brass ready to derim.

    I'm hard at work, in the shop right now actually. Allmost got all the derim dies done. Then I need to cut the base punch to length and machine the shell holder shape to the base.
