Nice work Sir! Thanks for sharing it.
By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability and expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt, altho' death was levelling my companions on every side.

A question.
Who was Philips and what did his head look like that they'd name a screwdriver after it?
Shamelessly stoled from Wikipedia, along with the accompanying photo of his head. :P
"Henry F. Phillips (1890–1958) was a U.S. businessman from Portland, Oregon. The Phillips-head ("crosshead") screw and screwdriver are named after him.[1]"
Based on my experience with his screws, he obviously had a deep abiding love of strippers.
(wonder if I can add that to the Wiki info and get away with it?)

I saw this in a cartoon once. I'm pretty sure I can pull it off...

[QUOTE=oldpara;2045911]OK, I was able to run a wax model on the machine, heres a 30cal with a screw type nose, based on the 311284.
Now you just need some Phillips head gas checks...
:P

this is so cool thank you for posting.you could defiantly sell molds for these designs. very good work please keep us posted on future projects.

You know, I really didn't think of that :0.
I was so focused on "milling only" that drilling and tapping with the blocks clamped together, then laying out the blocks and milling the bullet body blending into the threaded section didn't occour to me.
Eyes open now, thanks ! That's another good way to skin the cat.
The threads on there now are almost full diameter so I'd need a drill/tap combo that was enough under .312-.314 and grease groove minor diameter to clean up when milling the body.
Don't you love this stuff !
Oh yeah!Don't you love this stuff !

Well.....I'm still waitin' to see a set of '38's'!

Can you do one that looks like this? For "wildcat" chamberings, you know-
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."
The more I look at this thing the more I wonder if I'd get the mold halves apart full of lead.
That's a threaded hole, don't they call them fasteners for a reason ?
I wouldn't want to have to screw them out of the mold. That would put a cramp in production.
Anyway, I thought about making it a nose pour, drilling/tapping part way into the mold then milling the rest.
Well problem is I need an F drill (.257) and the nose has a .190dia flat, so no go there.
Plus after tapping I've removed metal where I wanted the nose section to be.
But when staring at it some more I decided that I could mill it base pour.
First I'd vise up the halves in the bridgport, find the middle, drill/tap short of full length.
Then set the blocks in the mill and mill the body (hoping everything cleans up ok).
5/16-18 thread and a .313-.314 body dia. Thats cutting it close, no pun intended.
Then mill/blend the nose section in and call it done.
All this said, I'm not at all sure I'll even attempt it but it's sure getting more tempting all the time.
The company I work for was bought out and the new security is "ANAL"
Xray machines, walk thru metal detectors, hand scanning..............
I feel like I'm at the airport every dang day..
Here was my thoughts for nose pour. You can see the tap has removed the metal I want to mill for the nose.
then heres the drill/tap from the base, mill cleanup, seperate mill the nose deal.
Oh, and heres the phillips GC bullets
Wow that's the first time I seen that! Pretty cool.
Pretty cool
