    I haven't, but I inherited all of the stuff to do it from a friend who passed. I watched him make it and his notes descibe it as a 3 die size down I think. I think 6mm - 5.56 - 17 Badger if I recall.

    Ok, Are you interested in selling "All the stuff" to someone that will put it back to work?

    Had two of Jim Calhoons 19 Badgers plus all the dies; great varmint guns in a repeater although I had his SS clips in both. Sold them a few years back and wish I had not but anyway, I made cases useing 30 carbine and is, was sort of a pain. Later, I just bought cases from Calhoon and very happy. Just sold my stash of 6000 19 bullets to a fellow in North Dakota.

    Thanks, I have a Cooper Mod 38 Single shot, thats at Jim Caloons as I type this getting reamed from 19 Calhoon to 19 Badger.
    Hes forming me a few hundred cases at the same time. I just dont like not being able to do it in house myself. Jim has been very informative with me each time I talk to him on the phone.
    Thanks.

    While I should be - his sons don't understand anything about what their father was into. I put everything in totes and am storing them for the moment.
