Beautiful. I am a hack with a dremel and a drill, trying to make dies for reloading 22lr. It is interesting how much the stuff I (try to) make resembles the real thing. Only mine looks like some hack made it with a dremel and a drill. I have a probably stupid question. I have been using grade 8 bolts to make dies. They don't last very long. I use HSS for the punches. I have just assumed that professionals cannot make dies out of HSS either because you have to grind off the material instead of drilling it. Is that so? Or can you guys actually use HSS to make the dies? If so what do you use to bore it and ream it?
