I finally tried BT's 44 notch punch/core seater die

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

This was the first set BT_Sniper made.
I've had them sitting on my bench for like 6 months.
I finally got around to using them.
He has already came out with improvements
so I won't waste anyone's time with all the details,
Just let it be known they work great and I'm
sure the improved version works better with
the included internals parts for belling the brass,
I use a separate die for that.

BTW, If you think these bullets are so beautiful that
you just have to have some, I have donated 50 of these
with some new starline 44 Mag brass cases to
this website to be auctioned off...auction ends Wednesday April 27th

I'll let the photo's do the talking,

Hey...those look just like my 9mm to 40cal...they are great. I've recovered a few that I shot thru two water jugs and a 5 gallon bucket of sand...and boy do they mushroom really good...and retail their weight. When they hit steel...they flower open perfect on each pedal...so the notching die really does an excellent job.

Now...I need to get a set of dies to turn my worn out .40 brass into .45 ACP...so it can continue....all these hippies saying we are bad for the environment....HAH!!! My lead is all reclaimed, my jackets are reclaimed brass...and my brass has been shot so many times I've lost track. Name me another hobby with this much recycling!

Nicly done Jon! Very good of you to offer up some to help the sight. I have been thinking about doing the same thing. I'm sure 45nut (Ken) will be pleased.

Swage On!
