    .400 price and options

    Here is a cost break down of both what I deem necessary and what additional upgrades I have to offer to make 10mm/40cal bullets from various jacket materials using my dies. First of all I recommend using a Lee Classic Cast press with my BTSniper premium dies. I offer an improved version of the Lee Classic Cast press that I have modified specifically to handle the pressures of swaging. This press has modified linkages that produce over twice the leverage of the stock press and comes with a new threaded ram and auto eject set up.

    Should the customer already have the Lee Classic Cast press all that is needed is my auto eject set up and the press will be good to go for use with my dies.


    Swage Press with Auto Eject



    BTSniper improved Lee Classic Swage press with auto eject

    $399.00




    Auto Eject System



    $225.00

    for customer that already has the Lee Classic Cast press

    *looking closely it is a shell holder ram top pictured, the threaded ram top that uses my 1/2-20tpi base punches is shown in pic below. Shows that both my threaded base punches and shell holder style base punches can be used if necessary, threaded is standard, shell holder style is more expensive option.




    BTSniper Premium .400 Swage Dies






    9mm brass for jackets



    I consider this a bare minimum set up.

    $549.00 point form die
    $69.00 threaded base punch

    $618.00



    Additional Add Ons and/or Upgrades....



    Commercial Jackets



    $499.00 core seat die
    $69.00 base punch

    $568.00



    BTX Multi Caliber Notch Die





    makes perfect XTP style bullets

    $249.00




    Universal Die with Expanding Mandrel
    *looks same as BTX die pictured above just with mandrel



    expands 9mm brass to 40 cal to allow 120 grain cast boolit to drop into jacket

    $199.00



    Complete set up shown with threaded base punches





    These are the numbers, price and tooling required to form .400 cal bullets from either 9mm or commercial jackets.

    Feel free to contact me for additional details. Let me know your email address and I'll be happy to send copy of instruction manuals for potential customers to look over.

    For order instructions or any questions feel free to contact me.
