I have a Remington 1863 58 Caliber Zouave, in VG condition.

I have my own swage press (Corbin, Sea Girt) and a lathe so I make my own bump dies from 7/8" x 14 threaded rod. I have bumped up some 45 Colt bullets at .452- 250 Gr. to 460 to fit a 45-70 and use...

Started off years ago with Lyman, then Lee but Accurate and NOE are very good and all that I buy now.

I have a lot of 6 MM, maybe they can be bumped up to 6.5.

Looks to me like a "take off" of the old Herters core cutter. They work wonderfully!

I don't believe that you can go wrong with the Uberti / Cimarron rifles and pistols. I have Model "P" revolvers in 357 and 44-40. Also 5 rifles in either 38-55, 45-60 and 44-40. No problems as they...

I use CCI 22 short brass to make Hornet and Bee bullets.

Loaded and tested some 32-20's for my two Savage Model 23C's. Tried several powders and cast bullet weights to see which were the most accurate. Nice day here to shoot.

Midway's set of Wheeler is on sale now.

I haven't encountered anything these don't fit.

Might try Brownells, A bit pricey but will get the job done right!

John Taylor relined my 1892 in 25-20 and you cannot tell it was a relined job. Now it shoots great! No regrets!

I too had a T-Mag that flexed and got rid of it. Now have 2 Reddings, model T-7s and love them. Pricey but very strong and smooth. I leave them set up with my favorite calibers I shoot.

Contact Neil Jones (www.neiljones.com) and he will make you dies and sizing bushings to make 32-20 into 25-20 and 218 Bee.
Mine work just fine with out annealing.

Depending on the caliber and size of HP, you might look at 'Air Soft' ammo at you local Wal-Mart.
I've experimented with them to make light 6 mm bullets.

I believe and what works for me is consistency in using the press, being cam-over or stopping short of that point. I started out 30 years ago with Blackmons BSSP dies and press with much success...

Why all the math? I use an electronic scale, place the jacket on it and cut or cast my lead slugs to a weight exceding the finished weight by several grains and then swage (bleed off) the core to the...
