50bmg

Thanks! That is Corbin's VLD tips.

I just got word my hydraulic press is ready for shipment. Should really make it a lot easier to make these big bullets.

Did you have to point form in a couple steps or all at once. Pretty impressive for using one of the smaller presses!

[BT Sniper]

Point form....... first pass took the nose to .250, second pass seated the Corbin VLD tip.

Thanks

So would the cast boolit press be big enough to make these and a 6S bullet?

[BT Sniper]

Yes it would.

What is the status of all of this? I am interested in the final results BT!

Here is a good thread documenting my results with the 50 BMG match bullets.

Howdy,
Just wondering if you are still planning on offering swagging dies for the 50 bmg?
Thanks, Dean

Yes, I can offer dies to make 50 BMG bullets.

Sweet, what do you think they will run? Thinking of using a Rockcliffe if I can come to terms with Richard. Dean

Yes, I can offer dies to make 50 BMG bullets.

[BT Sniper]

Depends on how much tooling one requires for the exact bullet they wish to make. I still need to price out the options.

As far as frangible, you used to be able to buy a die to form a point on a magnum belted case. I used to use 350 rem mag brass (when it was cheap and available--wish I had them back!!), but understand you can use belted mag cases and turn the belt off. Fill the cut-off case with #9 shot and form the point and maybe put a bit of hot glue on the end of the hollow point.
They were supposed to turn a coyote into a red mist.

The Rockcliffe press is not the same as Walnut Hill correct? I am about to order one but do not want to have to back out the decap rod and re-adjust every case.

Also are shell adapters available to swage and reload regular rifle with the Rockcliffe?

[BT Sniper]

I don't know of anyone here operating the Rockcliffe press yet. So unfortunately you are asking the wrong person. I hope to pick on up some day but don't have one yet. Richard is the man to ask.

BT

Yeah well Richard gave me a 6 word reply to my email lol...

[BT Sniper]

Oh! From the press description it says he made and designed it specifically with the 50 BMG in mind so I would hope it is good to go in all aspects but again I don't know?
