Hi guys,
I have been making crude dies for my 22lr loading exploits. Making them from 5/8 18 grade 8 bolts. I put these in sleeves that have 5/8 18 threads on the inside and regular 7/8 14 threads on the outside. The sleeves are made from old dies that are bored out and tapped. I am at the point where I want to start hardening my dies. Planning to just wing it by heating to color and guessing how long to quench... haven't determined the specs yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated (unless they are suggestions to not do it, then I won't appreciate those).
