Default Copper slugs

Larry,what if you made the die upside down,nose forming on the bottom ram top could have a flat removable piece and bullet could be pushed through like a Lee cast bullet sizing die. Frank C.

Not a bad plan at all, I will see what I can do with it. Larry

Default Reamer

Got the reamer made up for the die, no wonder people don't like making 10's, this thing is really small! Guess I will take great care when reaming the hole with this one. Larry

Default swaged copper

Larry, your a man of action even in this heat.That must be the size of a #6 lead birdshot,don't know how anyone can ream and rifle a barrel that small.I've had good luck with half reamers,what sux is you have to harden them in the round then grind to half outerwise they'll warp quenching.Made one to legnthen a 16ga shotgun chamber scads of grinding.Frank C.

It's hot where you are because all our heat went some place else, this is the coolest summer we have had here in many years. Larry

I may pass on that one, the 20-06 taught me a lesson. Larry

Default Parker Ackley

I was just reading that when Ackley developed the 17 cal he swaged the bullets with a die he made and an arbor press.He used annealed copper wire. Frank C.

That had to be one big a** press. I just can't see doing it in an arbor press that one would use for re-loading, I can't see using it in any hand operated press for that matter.
