    You guys are going to like these presses!

    All 18 of them are reassembled and turned out great. Better then the press I use!

    Progress is looking good.

    Thanks as always for your support and patience.

    I have begun shipping presses. Two went out today.

    I need to check bleed dies and base punches for each of you and will ship press with these bleed dies and anything else I may have ready just as soon as I can.

    Progress is slow and family challenges have been many and unexpected but as I just told a customer... "if I can't be quick I will make dang sure the quality is good."

    Thank you all for your patience and support. I know it has been a long wait.

    I can say that now that Oregon and Washington where the last to lift the stupid covid (I even hate typing the word!) restrictions (July 1st) I am in a much better mood (still think it was all crap but now at least I don't see so many masks). I feel like I was angry for a year and a half every time I stepped out of my house. And being cooped up in my house is not a picnic either.

    Anyway..... I'm doing my best, dies and tooling is looking very good and I'll ship items to all as soon as they become available.

    Progress has been slower then normal for me in the last two months, we have been dealing with family issues, mother-in-law diagnosed with cancer middle of May just passed on the 9th. My wife has been down there the whole time leaving me to take care of family matters here at the house. While I am still able to make some progress with work it has been slow.

    I'll be out of office for a week as I fly the family down to attend funeral.

    I expect things will return to a new normal soon allowing me to get back to a more productive work schedule.

    Thank you for all for your patience and support, I'll be sure all your orders is worth the wait.

    Returned from funeral, a challenging experience for entire family.

    Wife still away supporting and helping her father coup with the loss while I'm here keeping the girls and house in order.

    I am now slowly returning to work and will keep this post updated to my progress.

    Thank you all for your support and patience.

    After more then two years of not getting sick a cold caught up to me. Had me out of the shop for the last week.

    Good news is after three months gone my wife is coming home tomorrow. Things are slowly returning to normal here at BTSniper. I am behind on all my orders and have several messages I got to get a reply to. Not a lot of work got done in the last couple months with all the personal matters that took place. Being the only one home to take care of all matters as well as my girls took a lot of time. I expect my progress to improve greatly very soon. I still have all these presses ready to go along with bleed dies, derim dies and draw dies.

    Thank you for your support and patience.

    progress begins....

    Feels like I got family life in order now.

    Was sick for two weeks, feeling near 100% now,

    and got the shop cleaned up.

    All these things have caused me to get very little work done in last 3 months. I am also behind on communications, as I get a bit of work done this week in the shop I will start to get replies to everyone's inquires.

    I think by far the biggest challenge is keeping a positive attitude with all the current affairs going on in the country, especially living in Oregon. I'll leave it at that regarding these political matters.

    I need to do a run of BTX dies that should take me just a day, then get these presses and bleed dies shipped out that I have been talking about.

    I'm on it!

    Thank you for your patience and support.

    10 BTX dies complete today! Got some on order so I should have these shipped out by end of the week.

    Feels good to make some progress, I know BTX dies is not 6mm complete set or 25 cal copper tubing die for which is top of my list but I feel right now "progress on anything is progress on everything." BTX dies was an fairly easy task and when you have more then 50 orders on the books it can be a challenge to know where to even begin. These relatively simple BTX dies got me back in the swing of things. So I can get back to the more challenging orders.

    Keep posted here for more updates.

    Thanks

    Making progress again. Things are looking good. Once I get a bit more work done I'll spend some time answering the inquires I have gotten in the last couple months. If anyone has questions or wishes to place an order please send me a PM here or an email and then be patient, I'll get a reply to you.

    Swage on!

    All 40 cal orders are done and will ship next week (got one with a bleed die almost done).

    I spent last three days working on 40 cal dies. These dies came together very, very well. Spent and extra day polishing all them to perfection, possibly some of the best 40 cal dies I have made yet. I only had 4 orders of these 40 cal dies, I put together 10 dies!

    I have six 40 cal dies ready to ship for anyone that has been wanting one of these great dies. This is rare that I have any dies "ready to ship." Take advantage of no wait times! These are all offered with my BTX die.

    BTSniper 40 cal one step die with BTX crimp die to make perfect 185 grain XTP JHP 10mm/40 cal bullets from scrap 9mm brass.














    $887.00


    Progress is going well. Moving on to next caliber now.

    Thank you all for your support and patience.

    I am starting to ship full and partial orders again.

    If your shipping address has changed in the time since you placed your order please let me know to ensure I have your new address. Check on the first page of this thread to ensure your zip code is correct for your order.

    Send me a reply via email at BT_Sniper@hotmail.com

    Thanks

    Finished up an order that was top of my quick turn list from March of 2020. A big thank you to this customer for his patience. Instead of just a few internal parts and a punch I hooked him up with a complete new die and set of three punches as a thank you for his support.

    I got one more quick order to get done then I am going to focus on these presses and the three 6mm orders that are top of my list.

    Progress is being made on all orders.

    Hang in there guys! Progress is going really well. I am having great success with 22 cal dies at the moment. I am working on ten sets! Have all the derim, core bleed and core seat dies ready, now working on ten 22 cal point form dies!

    Thank you to all of you waiting patiently, I think many of you must be checking in with this thread and my progress, your patience in not sending a bunch of update requests has allowed me the time I need in the shop rather then on the computer. When I have uninterrupted time in shop I can really get some nice work done on these dies. It has been a lot of work, been putting in long days and worked through the weekend, basically locked my self in the shop.

    Keep posted, got a lot of dies almost done!

    Hope everyone had a good weekend holiday.

    I spent Monday in the shop getting a head start on all these 22 cal point form dies. Worked on them all day today too. Working on 13 of them. All the internal and external parts are machined, the exterior of all the dies are polished and cleaned. Got the bullet cavity of six of them today lapped and polished to perfection. I expect to finish the remaining 7 tomorrow.

    It will take me a few days once these final point form dies are finished to label and pack everything up to all of you patiently waiting on a BTSniper premium 22 cal set.

    All the other dies in the 22 cal set are done, derim, core swage and core seat.

    It takes time to properly lap and polish a point form die. I made a lap for each die and after polishing and lapping one die the lap is done. Making these laps does take a little time but worth it in the results!

    Getting closer and dies are looking great!

    7 more 22 cal point form dies polished and finished today. This makes at least 10 full sets of BTSniper premium 22 cal die sets ready to pack and ship. I'll spend rest of week packing these up.

    Keep posted!

    The 13 sets of 22 cal are ready to go, these are all flat base bullet dies. Boat tail orders will take me a bit longer.

    Got three 22 cal orders boxed up today and will ship tomorrow.

    I organized the work order list a bit and separated the 22 cal orders from the rest of the list. Since I have a lot of 22 cal sets ready this just helps me to see which orders are which.

    I have just two boat tail core seat dies in stock at the moment. I will be machining more just as soon as I can. To those waiting for a boat tail 22 cal set I will most likely send you all the dies necessary to make flat base bullets and then send you the necessary boat tail tooling at a later date when it is ready. This should allow you all to start making and shooting some great 22 cal bullets.

    Keep posted, I am making some very good progress!

    Thanks as always to all of your patience.

    Making great progress.

    All most done with all the BTSniper premium 22 cal sets on order.

    I expect to be done with all BTSimple sets on order by end of this month, possibly by end of next week.

    Then I'll be starting on 6mm followed by 30 cal.

    Keep posted.....

    and swage on!

    Progress slowed a bit in last couple weeks.

    My wife has 15 years seniority working for a large company that is in the cross hairs of the latest political mandates leaving her in jeopardy of the difficult choice. It has been difficult for us in an already brutal year but our family will endure and BTSniper llc will continue to move forward.

    I will be taking 2 weeks vacation off from work in the shop starting now as elk hunting season is less then a week away. I expect to answer a lot of emails before I leave for the hills. While no work will get done in shop during this time please feel free to send any email questions or order inquires you may have.

    I know I have a lot of orders to fill and will get them done just as soon as I can. I feel I could skip all vacations and days off in attempt to catch up and I question weather I deserve to take time off, but in these challenging times a break to get away from all the madness and spend some time in the hills with friends and family is what I need to keep a bit of my sanity and allow me to get much more work accomplished upon my return.

    Thank you all for you patience and support.
