RCECO 510-1E swage die set and some 1.25" jackets arrived today..

Came with core seat, point form and lead reform dies.

This swage die set didn't have a core swage die, but I am using the one that came with my 452-TC swage die set. The jackets weigh 103.5 grains. I swaged a 0.418" diameter 496.5 grain core and made up a 599.9 grain bullet at lunch:

141934

That's it after touching it up in the lead reform. It looked gnarly after the point form. The ejector had left a 0.13" diameter dimple that the reform die cleaned up.

Very nice!

The lead tip reform die is an absolute must. I had never used one before. My 224-6S and 452-TC sets don't really need it. My two CH4D sets (38 and 44) make such a big flat meplat that they don't really need it either due to their ejectors being a lot bigger.

I continue to remain impressed with RCE.

I have a couple of point for dies on order with him. I have his dies in 366, 423, 452, 264, and soon 224. Very impressed myself with the quality.
I have the lead tip die on my 264 set (as well as boat tail dies) and my 224 set will have a lead tip, makes very nice bullets

RCE had sent me a bag of 100 50BMG jackets. They start out at 1.77". I trimmed one down to 1.5". It weighed 165 grains. Made up a lead core of 585 grains. The one on the right is the result (750 grains):

Looks to me as though you are gunning up for Saskatchewan Gophers! Verry nice bullets! Now for the question. Have you launched any.

[goblism]

Man those are gorgeous!

Purdy stuff!
