Buckshot..the Swage Up Die For You

[StarMetal]

Buckshot,

You wanted to see pics of my swage up die for that 150 gr Lyman Loverin so here it is. There is the die, then the die opening, then the ram plunger with shell holder along side, then the ram plunger inserted in the shellholder, the nose punch our of the die, the nose punch mouth end, and finally the ram plunger inserted into the die.

..................Oh you sneaky dude! You used a die body and made an insert to fit inside! So the ejector/nose punch butts the threaded insert in the top of the die as a stop. Does the nose punch put a small shoulder on the boolits' nose?

Neat deal. I thought you'd turned a swage die, not that that isn't a fine way of doing it. Have you cut threads with your lathe yet?

Buckshot,

Hey any way to get out of more work heh? Yes the nose punch does put a little shoulder on the bullet and the bullet cuts a perfect hole in the paper target like a 38 wadcutter, pretty neat.

Yes I have cut threads, not to hard once you get the hang of it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the pics.

threading is not hard at all to do, even esier if you have a DRO.
