Made my first bullets (Video added)
I was fortunate enough to buy a set up from Ken Livengood as he decided not to make bullets any more. I got my presses set up, and a good friend help me get my dies set up, and I made my first few bullets last weekend. I am going back to his house and will fine tune everything this weekend.
I now am well on my way to making my own. Last edited by P1ZombieKiller; 03-17-2014 at 04:28 PM. Reason: adding video |

Nice bullets
Along with the brass you make you're going to be a step ahead of most folks would be my guess.

And he is still helping me. I feel very fortunate that I was able to do this. I made a few videos of the up front work.

P1, That's a lot of work but the output is quality and consistency. Thanks for sharing the videos. As an aside, I can't imagine how tedious it is to make the tiny .17s. Hog

and I shot them
Finally got to get out and shoot some. I know these targets are not great, but I only pointed up 25 and then loaded them just touching. I will play more with seating depth as I get time.
They shoot a little different than my 116 - 7 ogives that I normally shoot. This is my last 8 bullets. I meant to leave 10 to shoot in 2 groups, but got side tracked. Group on left is 3 shot, group on right is 5 shots. |

Impressive. One way of making sure you won't be caught by any shortages.

.3083"
Since I do not have a mic that measures below 3 digits, I sent 5 bullets to a guy and he measured them for me. He said they were .3083".
