I have RCE dies to make these type solid copper jackets for .510 caliber on down from solid copper tubing. BT Sniper also makes these types of tubing jacket maker dies.

Either of those are possible options. What I am opting for is using a bullet resizing die to resize just the point part of the bullet make a dual diameter bullet. This way the lead never touches...

GONRA APPROVED !!! [smilie=s: [smilie=s: [smilie=s:
Must be good and must be HEAVY DUTY.

I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to drop my 2 cents in. I do understand CaptREDD's curiosity about Hollywood Presses "snob appeal". There really isn't as much "snob appeal" as there...

The RCBS ram would have to be slotted and have a return spring and by the time you did all that, or for about the same price, you could buy a RCE press instead of a RCBS Big Max. You can buy a RCE...

Richard's punches fasten to the punch holder with a through bolt that runs from the top of the punch holder all the way through to screw into a threaded hole in the top of each punch itself. Dave's...

The hole in the top plate is 1.5"x12. The standard bushing in the top plate is 1.5"x12 to 7/8"x14 and with the reloading adapter screwed into the ram (ram is also threaded 7/8x14) you can use...

RCE (Richard Corbin) has made a great inexpensive tool to save a ton of time on swaging jobs. It is a Quick Adjustment external punch holder. 4 rotations moves the punch 1" vertically. This is...

There are not a ton of people who know about or care about Hollywood's. Pretty small club. That does not bother me. I like what I like and if everyone else does, or no one else does, that is ok...

The concept is pretty simple.
1. Die finished caliber diameter.
2. Top punch flat base pictured (could use boattail punch)
3. Bottom punch with tip-shaped hole in it.

Spoon,
You can get a point form die made for flat points, I have one in 375. You can also use a die made for spitzers and just push the core halfway into the die. The flat nose won't look quite as...

Those tubing jackets are by far the easiest and they look great. Good job Dimaprok. Another problem with using any brass other than 57 for 308 bullets is that you end up with a big chunk of solid...

I have never had any of Blackmond's dies, but I have never heard anything but good reports from those who do.

Those Mega Mite presses are massive. How is the ease of use (force required on handle) compared to the S press with the same caliber/same task?

Great pic.
Is the threaded section 1" or 7/8" on the H dies?

KokomoKid,
Thanks that is very helpful. Looks like a Corbin M die on top, is that correct? Would you mind if I copy this post to the "Comparison" thread?
