Ahhhh sorry mate, we sometimes tend to use a bit of rhyming slang amongst ourselves. butchers hook = crook = sick
Would have been easier to to just say i'm not well, sorry about that John P.S. But you can also go down to the gun shop to have a "butchers " at the new brownings, then its like this butchers = butchers hook = look See how easy it is |

Ask the die maker...
Really, You don't have machine shop down under that does this?
Top side experts, Dave Corbin, corbins.com or swage.com, as said, fine fellow. Has a brother, now apart--separate business, Richard Corbin, rceco.com. Mr. Blackmon does not have a web site I know of. Snail mail in back of Gun Digest annual as a rule. Then, as suggested, many machine shops do this sort of thing. LEE is well thought of. ch4d.com has been around for decades. Hornady might. Mr. Corbin, Dave has a book on his web site w/o pictures. He recommends no more than .004 per die. .01 [.20 to .19] would take two and on half I guess. You will get some "squirt" of the core out of the bullet if a lead tip. I suppose best would depend on target. Hornady came out with the SX (super explosive) many years ago for the .222 since the Swift bullets did not want to expand at the slower velocity. LUCK. Happy trails. Happy Holidays. |
