    Having a good week in shop. Got a set of 22 cal dies out the door and now I'm working on all 6mm dies. Almost done with all 6mm dies actually.

    Haven't forgotten about any of you and your orders.

    I'll keep everyone posted here with my progress. You will receive an email from me when I am close to finishing your order as I will have a good deal of info and helpful tips for use of your new die set.

    Feels like I'm slowly waking up from a 2 year mental haze with all the challenges faced. A difficult time for sure, feels like two years of life was robbed.

    Things are going well again in the shop, I hope to keep it this way. It will take me time to catch up but I'm on it.

    Thank you all for your patience and support.

    A day, well, almost a "historic" day for BTSniper llc.

    Order #1 on my list since November of 2019 has been completed and shipped!

    I am working down the list. Seem to be having a productive time in shop lately. I'll keep you all posted. More to come.

    Worked on 22 cal boat tail base punches today. Dang these things..... Four attempts today and only one successful punch. These are not easy. Maybe better luck tomorrow.

    Three days work and I have what looks like eight 22 cal boat tail punches nearly assembled.

    Progress is looking really good.

    I'll keep you all posted.

    Spent last week straight working on these boat tail punches. They represent quite a challenge in machine work for me. I have a few new ideas that have worked well and still a couple that have not.

    Progress is going well, even with the challenges these punches present. Thank you all for your continued support and patience.

    Had to take short break from boat tail punches for a few days. Had to regain some of my patience. Thought things over, tried a few different techniques and I have now gotten these punches to an even better level of quality.

    Making slow progress on all orders.

    Thanks for hanging in there with me.

    Will be out of office till 14th. Deer season is upon us here in Oregon. My 141 grain 6.5mm bullets have been shooting very well from a 6.5x55 I put together and if that isn't enough, I got the 230 grain pills from my 300WM that have done so well against elk in the last several years.

    I did get some more dies together and progress was made in shop over the last few days even though a good portion of time was needed packing for hunting trip over last week. I'll update everyone when I get back.

    Thank you all for your patience and support.

    Back early. Entirely too hot in the hills this year. No deer for me this year. Much better odds for elk season come the end of the month.

    I'm back to work and will have a few orders out the door in the next couple weeks.

    Spent the last week of October in the hills chasing elk. I had a spike only tag. Spent the entire 5 day season trying to locate the herd, morning of the last day I found them and had my chance, herd was running threw an opening in the trees 200 yrds in front of me. Opening was small and had less then 2 seconds to verify any elk with horns was only a spike and didn't have any other elk in front or behind for a clear shot, I watched probably 20 cow elk pass through the scope before I saw horns, it was a forked two point on one side and a spike on the other, a legal elk for me to shoot.......by the time I verified he was only a spike and that I had a clear shot he had passed through the small opening and was gone. I had two seconds but needed three

    I was happy to see all the elk and happy with my choice that I didn't rush a shot. Still had meat in freezer from last year so I'll chase after them again next year.

    Got back from hunting then was off to spend the next two weekends cheering my daughter's water polo team to a first-place finish at their high school state championships.

    Now I'm back in the shop hard at work to get more orders out the door.

    I'm still working on many dies here getting them ready to ship before the mad holiday shipping rush.

    I'll be machining new dies between Dec. 15th and January 15th. I don't like to ship expensive dies during this time, so I spend it machining new dies.

    When finished with machine work, I'll send them to Nitride, I expect it will take them 4 weeks to process and return to me.

    So about middle to end of February I should have dies to fill new and existing orders should you be waiting for a die that is not already in stock waiting to for final polish and assembly.

    Hope everyone had great Thanksgiving.

    I have been making very good progress lately, got 5 orders out the door in the last 10 days. I'll continue to work on the dies I have here to fill what orders I can in the next two weeks before the Christmas shipping rush.

    Haven't forgotten about any of you guys on my list.

    Thanks for your patience and support.

    Still making a bit of progress. Family got sick last week and was nice enough to share with me. Taking care of them last week and now myself has cut into my work schedule a bit.

    I expect to start machine work on new run of dies before Christmas. I'll keep you all posted with my progress.

    Thank you for your support and patience.

    Happy holidays.

    New year and I'm still sick and not very happy about it. Some sort of chest congestion that is kicking my butt, been very hard to sleep at night. Been trying to take it easy and take care of myself for more than 3 weeks now. I feel like I'm on the home stretch to getting better.

    Will start machining new run of dies any day now. Once I have these new dies I'll be able to fill existing orders quickly as most of the orders are only waiting on a bleed die or copper tubing die or a single die.

    Thanks

    I feel like I am finally healthy again.

    Just got back from a 5 day trip to take care of family matters. Glad my head cold didn't give me any problems on the flights.

    Holidays are done and my girls 16th Birthday is now complete.

    Feels like I got an interruption free schedule to look forward to and ready to get caught up on a lot of work.

    Keep posted, I'll post my progress here.

    Thanks

    Working on 30 cal and 338 cal order. Here is a look at some 338 bullets made from scrap 223rem brass!



    335 grains, 285 grains and a 250 grain bullet form commercial 30 cal 1.30" jacket.

    Once I get these two die sets out the door I'll be machining new dies to fill rest of orders.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Finally started my machine run of new dies. Die bodies are already hardened, all I got to do is cut the cavities.

    Feels good to machine some new dies again after missing last year's run of dies due to mandates and fighting for my wife's job.

    A lot of progress coming soon. All the 30 cals on order and the only thing that was missing was the core bleed dies. It is the first thing I am machining now.

    It will take me a couple weeks to machine all dies, then they will be sent to Nitride.

    I'll keep you all posted.

    Progress was slow this month in the shop. Had a lot of stuff going on. Spent a lot of time with my girls and their driving lessons, they are now both licensed drivers so that was a big accomplishment to get out of the way.

    I have also gotten myself back in to aviation after a 15 year absence. I have been training and studying a lot in the last month. I have regained my currency and slowly building some hours again in the cockpit of small single engine aircraft. It has been a challenge to stimulate brains cells that haven't been used in so long.

    I am returning my main focus again to work in the shop and the completion of this latest run of dies necessary to complete all of your orders on my list.

    Thank you all for your continued patience and support. I'll make it worth your wait.
