Thank the Lord for the 45 Colt cartridge...

How else would it be SOOO easy to "cut" my 44 caliber boolits out of my cooled off pan lube mixture? I know there are guys that have made lots of syringe type cutters this way...anybody have any good ideas on how to make one of these syringe type cutters?

Thanks,
johnny

Amen. If it weren't for the .45 Colt, there probably wouldn't have BEEN a .44 Magnum.

This may be what you are looking for, compliments of BEN. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=128960&highlight=Kake+cutter

That's pretty much it...Thanks....Saw one one time where somebody brazed finger "curves"on the brass case, and then a loop on the plunger so it worked like a syringe.
Thanks,

While the cutters shown are sweet and tricky they require two steps plus the pulling of the lubed bullet out.
Buckshot made me a couple that are by far the best a very easy to use. They are straight through and the bullets just come out the top as you keep going.
Anyone who pans lube should at least give them a look. The one of aluminum is a old Lee shown for comparison of the size.

Now that looks like it would speed things up some...probably could cut off the end of a 45-70, and tape up some sort of grip..thanks!
