0.08 inches separated me from disaster. That was enough to keep the cam belt on and motor timing right. Could say that it was a close call.

That is Lucky!
Dayum, that's lucky....................................
I am so lazy.. I desided to make the core swage and core punch dies as .30.. So easy to make separate point form dies for .30 and .31..
As the point forming is basicly swaging up so there is no point to have separate die sets for those two calibers.. Saves time, money and material.
I know that it works as I have previously made plinking bullets for .338 from heavy .30 bullets. Have some cheap surplus Lapua D-46 bullets that I turned to 185 grs flat base plinkers for my TRG.

I am amazed at what some of you are capable of accomplishing. Nice work.

Some fresh reamers straight from the lathe..

The reamers cutting edge does not look bad.

In the pic a 40x magnified pic from the cutting edge after milling. Propably no polishing needed.

3 fluters for 7.62 and .308.
6 and 7 ogive.

Will run out tool steel soon.. Could do maybe 3-4 calibers or differet ogives more, so have to order some more soon.

Those are beautiful!
Will do the .224 and maybe 6mm next week. I was sceptic about the surface of the reamers, but was positively surpriced..
Maybe just soft polishing after hardening is needed and they are good to go.

Could you explain how the lapping process is done? Preferably with some pictures?
Nice setup
