Interested,,more info please.
Tell me more, tell me more!
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

JonB, come clean man! Where do we get our grubby mitts on one of those?

This is correct.
I ordered a custom size (fat 6.5mm) and was told it would be about 3 weeks before delivery...and guess what, it was delivered in 3 weeks. Anyone remember the patmarlin early days? I waited 18 months for a 41 cal plain base...now granted, he hadn't made one that size before, but I was told when I sent my money, it could be as long as a month or two

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
I tried the one from sharpshooter 22rl couldn't get it to work. Sent it back the replacement didn't work either. Returned second one and PO lost it in the at the post office in CO.
The forming button/mandrel being screwed in is an important feature. Even if your die works perfect out of the box, you may want to turn a new button to suit your particular gas check material thickness and bullet molds. It's astounding that some of these dies have this mandrel pressed and glued in to save a buck.
I got a 35 cal one used and had to buy thinner aluminum for it. I contacted BFB and he offered to "fix" the die, but I got it working with the thinner flashing. I told the guy he needs to join us as a vendor. They can make custom dies aka 8mm 45-70 etc.
Thanks for the heads up , when I get the funds thinking of get some of them to use. Yes for you to say about being a vendor on here then it will be easier to get in contact with him.
