[BT Sniper]

Here is a cost break down of both what I deem necessary and what additional upgrades I have to offer to make 7mm cal bullets from various jacket materials using my dies.

SAVE MONEY VS. BUYING EACH PIECE SEPARATE

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.

5.7x28 for .284 cal jackets




30 cal bullet shown above, I have made excellent 6.5mm bullets from scrap 5.7 brass because I was able to use the power of a hydraulic press but I feel the 5.7 brass would make an even better 7mm jacket able to be drawn down and swaged in my Lee Swage press. An even better option would be to use the new 17WSM rim fire brass. This brass is already very close to the 7mm diameter needed to make perfect bullet with.

Of all the calibers I listed in my updated vendor page here this one has seen the most views in the last week or so.

I already have a set of dies in stock and a reamer for the 7mm. It is a standard 7s ogive profile. I do get a few inquires requesting a high BC bullet like the SMK or Berger Hybrid. I may just have to look into it a bit.

Those of you interested please fee free to leave questions in this thread or any of my caliber threads.

Swage on!

Number of views of this 7mm caliber have doubled since I last replied.....

I am looking to have a custom reamer made to allow us to make high BC 180 grain bullets along the lines of the Sierra MK and Berger hybrid.

All of you that are checking out this thread let me know if it hunting bullets or long range match bullets you seek to make.
