Made a rude die set this past week from a 7/8 grade 5 bolt and a .203 EX Pin

The rim is a lot tougher than I thought...but it dose reform nicely

More to come after I get the next die set done

Nice work Ted!
Keep us posted....

can't wait to see the finished product, way to go Ted.

Good work Ted.
Please do keep us posted.
I want to do the same.

congratulations Ted!

Many years ago I made 22 caliber bullets from lr empties using the Corbin die set.

My brother is going a similar route. There is a gentleman on www.castbullets.com named BT Sniper who offers a three die set, along with, iirc, a 6-cavity fixed length core mould.

Keep us posted...

I made quite a lot of 22 caliber bullets from 22 rim fire cases using a Corbin machine.

They actually shot better than bulk bought bullets from Remington.

Ted, You will have problems with those jackets. They should come out of the de-rimming die, no bigger than .220" The core seating die bumps the bullet up to .223-.2235 and the point forming die finishes everything to .224."
I just bought a de-rim die on e-bay that made .224 core and they wouldn't enter the die!! You want to "bump" the bullet up through the various stages, not draw it down.
Good Luck,
Mike

I think oldrodder got it right. Just part of the learning curve.
