Made Some 44 Finally

[marcusp323]

Bought a Walnut Hill a while back, & bought some dies to go with from another "maker" (upcoming rant in another post). Pain in the **** to use & wasn't pleased. Happened to glance at Richard's site a month ago & lo & behold, another set of 44 dies. I grabbed them as used ones seem far & few between, & couldn't be happier with the results. They were very easy to set up, no issues at all, & the results speak for themselves. Suppose I should find me a cannelure tool somewhere now to really finish the job. Hope they shoot!

Nice, I like the way the brass jacket rolls into the hollow core.

Good looking!

What weight did these come out to? Good looking bullets!

Lord, those are sweet!

Weight on these is 238-242 gr. Didn't separate by HS or weight of the brass. Kinda anxious if ya know what I mean. After the fiasco with those other dies, I don't blame me ;-)

Glad it worked out well for you. My experience with RCL did not. He cancelled my second order for a 44 swage set, after having lost the first order, that I had waited for over seven months for. He then refused to support the equipment that I had previously purchased from him. I committed the unpardonable sin, of admitting I had tried using a competitors dies, and wanted to upgrade to dies that would be more compatible with the Seagirt / Walnut Hill press.
Guess I'll keep on using my old second hand CH4D dies, that I used with an RCBS press.
WHAT A WASTE of time, money, and mental frustration. I haven't swaged since.
