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.
