Wow. Funny this was brought up. I was just trying to send him an email yesterday. The address came back as incorrect. Anyone verify the email address for Mr. Blackmon?
Oh wait. The email address was in a different thread. Oops.

Oh and by the way Dr. Blackmon in an eye doctor not a dentist, he hates being called a dentist. Just FYI

I know this is a very old thread, but does anyone have any idea what Dr Blackmon's lead time is? I have a hankering for a .45 pistol die set, and was wondering what his lead time might be (without contacting him and wasting his time). Thanks.

Last conversation with him it was about 6 months, however he does have a limited shelf stock. I believe he only makes truncated cone pistol dies, maybe he does special requests.

I wrote to Dr. Blackmon, and several days later received a rather terse reply that did not answer my question. I wrote again, and have not received another reply.

It's been many years (15?) since I bought a set of dies and a press from Dr Blackmon, but I remember he did NOT like email and preferred to talk on the phone. I called him a couple of times and he was nothing but helpful. Not sure if anything has changed

No much has changed. I got a set of dies from him last year. He's a good fellow to talk to and produces wonderful dies for a fair price.

Hi Andy,
Were your dies of a truncated cone design?
Thanks, Tom

6 months I would say. Unless he has a set on the "shelf".

His .224 dies are wonderful for double the price.

I ordered .30 cal rebated boat tail almost a year ago. Made beautiful open tip Boolits right out of the package. He made them to use 1.40 j-words from Berger. I was trying for 215 gr. for RCE's 1.36 j-words, but Rickard stopped making them, however we planned the dies for the longer j-words, jic. His site is BSSP. That was with his mod to a Rock Chucker. Great everything, price, turnaround, no frills dies that needed no extra stuff.

When I bought a while ago they were 600ish for 3 die .224 set and his press. 22lr jacketed bullets made from his dies were .2235 and shoot dime groups out of a Predator Pursuit ar-15 at 100 yards. I think I have some I could send you if you want?

Thanx for the offer to send those. As i'm living in the Netherlands it is better to post some pictures. I asume ITAR regulation prohibit these things.

Ronaldod, I was stationed at Camp New Amsterdam/Soesterberg Air Base back in 1982-84. I lived in Nieuwegein at 23 Graaf Dirklaan. Hope I remembered to spell it right. Beautiful country. Was able to go back and visit in 2004 on vacation. Lots of fond memories...should have been a crime to send a kid fresh off a dairy farm in Michigan to der Nederlands as his first duty assignment...
