you can have a bushing installed on the rear of the bolt just in front of the handle. it is dimensioned to the rear of the action for a snug but not tight slip fit. this wil position the bolt face...

will do, its gonna be a minute or two. I gotta quit messing with gun stuff and make some knives. the banks gonna want the mortgage paid pretty soon.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yeah I think youre right, thanks. I checked the dies from the yardsale (RCBS) and they cut easily with a file so Ill just proceed with my plan.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
What would that gain me? I would be able use the dies I turned down but would no longer be able to use the 38/357 dies nor the 45 acp dies that I have for it.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Ok gotcha sorry for being dense. I have plenty of experience with with hardening and tempering steels. if I had a set of reamers I would simply make new dies for the Junior. I do have two sets of...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
just thinking about this it seems to me that a 3/8ths bushing would possibly reduce the case too much. unless wall thickness of the case was .011 or there abouts. however I fail to see the connection...

thanks Gunther, I have a look at my dillon carbide dies and do some measuring. do you happen to know what material RCBS uses for their dies? I cant imagine 4140 being hard enough to give any trouble...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
thank you, Ascast, no, never posted on the 310 swapping board. I had thought of shortening a set of 38/357 dies but discovered that the are not the same diameter. my only problem with the idea of...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
thank you greenie, I am not sure if my big lathe will cut 30 tpi but I am pretty sure I can program the little cnc lathe to cut them. I dont know the hardness of the die body but i would think...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
thank you for the very un-helpful reply. if that was what I wanted to do I would simply load the 9mm conversion in one of the Dillon progressive presses that I already have.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
hello all, I have had a TL junior press for a number of years. When I got it, it was set up with 38/357 dies. I would like to set it up to reload 9mm. after roughly five hours of searching I have...

nice you need to show me where you shop!
Forum: Casting Equipment
thank you sir. I understand that it is a good chunk of change. I have been reading this board for coming onto ten years and have seen quite a few post lamenting the downside of easily available...
Forum: Casting Equipment
it could be had in either 120 or 220 volts and a 20 amp circuit.
Forum: Casting Equipment
thank you, for your feedback.
No I dont think 1500 degrees is needed to make bullets. And I do know that 750 possibly 800 is all the heat that is needed for casting very good bullets. a...
Forum: Casting Equipment
I guess I am not understanding what you mean. you can put any size pot you want in the chamber and you can set any temperature you want. that temp will be maintained +/- 5 degrees for as long as you...
Forum: Casting Equipment
nope i dont think that at all and i dont want to make a 100 or a thousand of these. I just wondered if folks would be interested in them if they were available. I think a digitally controlled...
Forum: Casting Equipment
the master caster I saw new online was considerably more than $900. Also this is digitally controlled up to 1500 degrees in one degree increments and will hold the set temp within 5 degrees of set...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Hello All. I am just wondering if there would be any interest in a electronically controlled lead furnace that will heat to 1500 degrees. this unit wil have a removeable pot that will hold up to 80...

Thank you Bill. Just saw you are in Tazzi. my best friend was raised on king Island down that way lives near Perth now.
Forum: Swaging
thank you guy. I appreciate the info.
One more Question; how is accuracy with reswaged Jackets?
Forum: Swaging
thank you sir. do you have a link for the proper dies?
Forum: Swaging
does anyone know if 30 cal bullet jackets can be swaged down to 6.5 cal. i have several thousand 30 cal jackets of unknown origin and already have several thousand 308 bullets so was just wondering...

here is a picture of the tool I made for installing the spring. I also made a smaller T out of Micarta that drops into the action blocking the bolt from moving forward but didnt tak a picture of it....
