a little more tinkering with the tubing jacket bullets

i worked on a notch punch today, i need to make the hp punch narrower and longer now i think.....we will see tomorrow when i wax these .....bill

while your making them I need one in 44 looks great bill

WOW! Me likie

wholy cow man!! Great job Bill I knew you could do it. I almost have the heart to get back into swaging LOL....

As soon as I get some stuff in order and get back on my feet, we will have to talk hehehehe....

I wonder if a man had bought some cheap bullets, say berrys in 45's RN, run those up in the swage die to serate them like that and then back to the HP, if that would work? Be a great adition to reloaders who don't swage but kinda want the Gold Dot effects since Gold Dots are plated bullets with those style tips.

Maybe even be able to do plain cast as well......

Kudos bill, very nice indeed! Wonder if you could incorporate the hp punch with the serrations ??

wow i like that alot you need to make me one lol

very very very nice

I approve, just ship it to me for Q&E

Neat! I love it....makes them hp's look down right nasty

Nice Bill!!!!!

Bill did you make that punch on a mill or lathe or did you press it to get that shape?? nice looking bullets

hughie i made it on my lathe, wv engineering lol,,i chucked up a 60 degree burr in the lathe and fashioned me up a holder for the 1/2 round then just went back and forth across the face to depth, then i rotated the round 120 degrees and repeted, and the a third time... i hade to tri-angle file it to smooth it up....bill

WOW nice work bill I like it thats some good looking bullets .

wow thats nice you want to make me one?? lol

lol.. everyone wants one now... haha.. i made one as well for my 45's. thanks to daywalker for showing me some pics of someone elses.

bill, please excuse my lack of lathe knowledge, is the 60 degree burr something you put in the tool holder?

did you have to fashion up a holder for the 1/2 inch round because your lathe chuck couldn't close down far enough?

just trying to understand how you used the lathe to make it.

thanks,
dan

Dan,

Can you help someone like me to make one? How did you do it? Have any pictures?

Thanks

you can use your lathe as a mini mill.
Chuck your Burr... or counter sink in your lathe chuck and mount the piece you are wanting to slot on the compound rest of your lathe. then use the cross slide to move the piece back and forth across the burr.
