Just for the record. I have fired these and they work well so far. I will be continuing to develop a load and see just how accurate this hilbilly approach may be. Not that I am expecting any sort of...

Well earlier I hinted about modifying a die to crimp with. So what I ended up with was a .41mag die that I machined a sleeve for. I put a 5/16-18 thread in the far side of the insert so that if...

My guess is hoarding. I guess I can't blame them when you look at prices.

Icing on top….well I just couldn’t leave well enough alone. Hammering the brass case from the die is ok as an experiment but kind of a drag for straight reloading. Embracing the cheap bastage deep...

UPDATE: I was able to test fire a handful of rounds before it started to snow and cut my session short.

Since I was shooting PC lead I was loading pretty light. One stove pipe and a couple trigger...

In reviewing the many obstacles here there are several options for addressing rim thickness.

1. Widen the groove
2. Face the end of the case (not sure if the remaining case will be long enough,...

Thanks for the links. I previously almost bought some brass but apparently I'm just not desperate enough to pull that trigger yet. Besides what else am I supposed to do with all this 40s&w brass I...

Recently finding myself in need of some 8mm Nambu ammo and everything I've read thus far pretty much says "Hang on THIS ain't gonna be cheap!" And searching for molds --- $200 and up, searching for...

Update: Didn't have a reamer on hand...so I opted to bore it out. I bored it to .325" figuring on .002" for shrinkage. I bored it .380" deep which was purposefully conservative. I did this just in...

Yes, in the simplest approach I would just ream it and be done. That mold has lube grooves which I wouldn't need since I plan on powder coating anyways. The pilot is overkill admittedly, just a...

My other thought is that I ought to start with a 32acp mold as that seems to be the popular path as far as modifying molds for 8mm Nambu. In looking that over I'm not sure why that's the easier...

New member figured I ought to jump right in... found myself in need of a 8mm Nambu bullet mold. Quickly realized there's no way I'm paying for one. I did find a cheap RCBS 30-115 mold.
My plan is...
