I'll keep this post updated with my progress. It will go fairly quick to machine the necessary dies I have on order as the only thing left to do with the die is bore out the final diameter or cut the bullet cavity, it will be the riffle caliber point form dies that will take me a while.
Of course, I'll need to send these to Nitride but I'm getting there!

Making good progress. Check out post #582 for my progress with new run of dies.
Still have the rifle cal point form dies yet to machine, they take longer with the complexity and precision required.
Thanks

All 15 of the 22 cal point form dies machined. It does take a long while to machine just the bullet cavity.
Working on 6mm dies now and on to 30 cal point form dies after that.

Thanks for your patience.

Just now able to get back into the shop to continue/finish my progress on this latest run of dies.
Had a personal matter in May that affected me greatly and has been a challenge to overcome.
Sorry for my delay. This matter will not affect the quality of my dies or my ability to complete all orders on my list and take on future orders. I will ensure that it will be worth the wait for all of you on my list.
Thank you for your patience, support and understanding.

Very long, yet very successful day in the shop today!
Machine work on 15 of the 30 cal point for die bodies is complete and results looked great! This was a big step towards completion of this machining run of dies. I saved the hardest for last (almost). Waited for a good day for me personally and the last two days where good and the results showed.
Nearly ready to ship to Nitride. A few more various dies to go.
