Has anyone heard much about these guys?
A couple years ago I ran across the swage they make but it would seem they have added another couple products to their name.

I have not heard of them. But, that is an impressive machine.
Their equipment looks good, but more for commercial production at those production rates and prices?
Wish someone would make a cheaper star sizer. Looks fancy and nice. But not 12 grand nice. I could buy a Mark 7 for that much money.

Nick Nielsen do swaged bullets for air guns. I think it can be found on google...nsa slugs.. Haven't ordered but what I know he's product is well known on air gun shooters. He is shipping world wide. See other guy on utube..Tofazfou who also introduced casting machine. I thinks it was same brand.
Okay, so this looks like the remnants of the ballisticast stuff, or the spinoff that the Sands did.
I wonder who owns it and if they'll have better customer service than the last iteration...

Looks pretty good to me too, still a bit more than what i can afford, i just cast as a hobby at this stage really.
What seems odd to me is why they didn't program in different lead drops for each station if desired. It can turn off different stations, so it knows each mould position, why not add variable lead pour times? I was trying to cobble together a magma style machine with different weights, so different lead drops, if using a computer to drive it, it's really not much more work and may make it more appealing to other buyers. Sadly life has gotten in the way and my project has been pushed a side, one day maybe it will be resurrected.

That does make sense, a lot easier really. If it doesn't see a mould, don't drop lead.
My idea was to have a "home" position, so each time it rotated, so if things got out of time, it knew where position 1 was. It was going to be a micro switch, or proximity switch on the rotting disc. Again, it's just project i started, but have not gotten time to finish.

I want one.
But I'd have to start selling bullets to make it feesable.
Now I'd be competing with big boys.
The profit margin on these is not enough to make a living at it.
At least I don't think it is.

It's not, unless you get into it really big. Three of us went in together and bought a Bullet Master, Lube Master, and lots of alloy. We started selling bullets and soon found out that unless you can go nationally, you're not going to make any money at it. Now we just use the machines for ourselves, plus a few friends, who pay us enough to cover the cost of the alloy, plus a small margin. We've paid off the machines, but there's no way we could make a living at it.
Hope this helps.
