I spoke with him in March sometime about a set of dies I had on order from the previous year. He said that they should be ready in about a week or two at the most. After about a month; I contacted...

Here are some that I made.

I used #9 shot in some .... #6 shot in others and #12 shot in the final ones. I was able to get them up to 155g in a .451" diameter slug.

They work really well too. ...

No doubt. I ordered some dies from him 18 months ago. In March, Richard said they would be finished in about a week. It's nearly August and still no sign.

I have an Ultrasonic heated cleaner that I got from Harbor Freight when they were on sale for $59. I am impressed with how well it cleans and the amount of oscillation that it creates in the water...

What's the main difference between the old M60's and the M60E?

It's amazing that the "dealer samples" are 1/4 the cost of a civilian legal one Considering all the paperwork you have to do for a...

Thanks for the offer Duke ....

Though I don't need the berdaned primed 308 cases - I wouldn't mind having Bohica's M60!!!

That is my goal in the next decade ... is to save up enough to get an...

Thanks ANeat for the close up .... that answers all my questions. Now out to the shop to try a couple more things.

338-08 is a beautiful cartridge ... highly recommend it.

Sarg

It's thread so that you can adjust the punch and remove the top punch so that it doesn't have to be readjusted next time you go to swage some bullets (at least that is what I understand).

Does anyone have the tread size/count for the internal part of the punch that is used in the Walnut Hill press? I am going to make some punches for my WH press but do not know what thread die I need...

Did something happen to BT-Sniper? What happened????

I have been looking at the CH4D dies and seeing how to make them work in my Walnut Hill press .... it looks like you could just cut off the upper portion of the dies and just use a normal ejection...

Ok .... without spending $1,000+ it doesn't seem you can get ahold of a decent set of dies anymore.

RCE told me in March that my .308 dies would be shipping out the following week, but I guess he...

Just curious why would Dave say no to use rosin flux? Don't have any around to try so don't know.

Ok so after having a .308 diameter bullet blow up on the spine of a feral hog last year, and failing to kill the animal - I have started using bonded core bullets. Not to mention when I was sighting...

The only bad thing is your "Monster" could probably generate enough pressure to explode a set of dies fairly easily!!! Not a problem if you have the discipline not to lean on it too hard - but I am...

I size those .311" steel core bullets down with the Lee .308" sizing kit ... they spring back to .309" but work great in my AR-10

I wouldn't shoot anything larger .309 in my AR-10's, but that is...

One other thing that I have found using 5.7x28 brass for cases is that case length can vary. This results in some problems as far as how well the tip is closed up. I am going to put together a set...

Liseo,

Yes what ANeat said ... save the money on the TiN. There is not near enough wear to affect steel drill bushings.

The 450 Bushmaster (aka Thumper) takes a .452" bullet. Bullet weights are normally between 185-300g. These ride on +/- 38g of Lil' Gun powder typically. With my factory ammo that I use I was able...

I have found missing anvils and such in some small pistol primers, but not too many out of several thousand. I have also had a friend that bought some 7.62x39 ammo that was having a 25% fail to fire...

The lyman 30 caliber one that I saw last week for sale threw a .250" diameter core ... perfect for swaging a 30 caliber bullet.

Just swage a pennie on the bottom and be done with it.

LOL

I am away from home at my daughter's doctor appointment. As soon as I get home I will post some pictures.

I have used the Lee sizer dies for drawing jackets. They work just fine - it just takes a LONG time to get special order sizes from the stock sizes (ie... .509" vs .510") Think it took them 3...
