Holy Heck! Your thread title is certainly understated! Welcome to the sight. With a first post like this I can't wait to see your next 100 posts :)

So what do you have going on there. Looks like maybe a 45 ACP, rim turned off and Holy Sheep sized down to .323 or less in one pass! Then a FMJ! Can we see a traditional bullet style with that nice solid base instead of the FMJ, basicly turn the jacket around? Really like step 3 where you where able to flatten the.......... never mind, you removed the primer pocket by turning it off. Cool! Swaged core too.

Man we need more details, I like it. Got to ask, how did you reduce the case so much?

Nice job. Do make your self comfortable here at this sight. You certainly got my attention.

Swage On!

I'm keepin' an eye on this guy

Please say more! 9mm brass is free for the pickup anywhere.

Annealing, trimming, tooling. Lay it out there!

Good day. I want to ask you about the use of standard English, as there conversational your Google translates it as nonsense, and I do not know how to answer you. Thank you.

[BT Sniper]

Standard english has little place here. That's what I love about this sight. No back lash for lack of political or grammatical correctness. If we need some one to clarify a response we can simply ask. Last thing I want is this to be a spelling and grammor class as we all know I would get kicked out.

We love the work you have done and simple wish to hear more. You are teasing us with the awesome pics and little explanation. Please grace us with some details on how you did what you did.

BT,

His native language isn't English and he's using the google translator to understand what we're saying. The translator doesn't do well with slang at all. I've used it to translate other languages to English and sometimes the sentences don't make sense, so you have to kind of guess what the intent is.

Hope this helps.

Ahh..... and the lights come on! Sorry! I was afraid we where going all gramatic. Now I'm impressed our little swage forum is really reaching out there.

Swage On!

It's true. My native language is not English and you do your Google can not translate colloquialisms. Therefore, if you are interested in something, please express in clear English, translated by a friend Google and I will understand what you want, of course, you answer.
This is a translation from Google, I hope that makes sense.

kutil,

What is your native language?

Could you show us some pictures of the tools you used to make your bullets?
Where did you get the tools?
What diameter are the finished bullets?
How much do the finished bullets weigh?

I have an 8x50R M95 Steyr rifle. I really enjoy trying to make it shoot well. I am very interested in learning more about how you made your bullets.

[kutil]

Tools can do it alone, just leave do the tempering. The final bullet diameter is 8.23 mm, weight 15.8 g. Production of tools and testing takes 90% of the time. Rest is just entertainment. Production tools are a necessary evil, but in my neighborhood there is no one who would do the necessary quality, reasonable price and in a short time.

[happy7]

For the rest of us that is .324 and 244 grains. Sounds perfect. Please let us know how they shoot. I need to find someone to make some of those tools for me.

Looks really good. Are those jackets made from tubing?

I see this is an old (almost 7 years old) posting. What accuracy did you find with these swaged 8x50 R Mannlicher bullets from 9mm brass?

[kutil]

I stopped using 9mm brass. Bad construction. Bad design

If you look at Mr Kutils avatar,you will note a group of power presses of about 5 ton rating.Now ,out here such presses sell for scrap metal price,and most have indeed gone that way.But ,if you are keen,you can pick one up for about the same price as a RC new.But ,having the press,you then need tooling,and either make or have custom made such tooling as is needed to deep draw brass.I have scrapped proper double acting armory presses,as there is no call to make anything here,and double acting presses cant be exported,due to UN rules.........I suspect that Mr Kutil resides in India,and 8x50 is a regularly used caliber there,being available in new made guns.
