DLM wire is a small fortune.
I had extrusion dies made in Canada and make my own.

Hi guys, for the gents that will try my bullets, they were sent last week. Hope you guys like them. Just please, let me know your results. Cheers
These were in the letter box when I got home tonight. These look fantastic!
Weight them all and 50gn +/-0.05gn of each other. This is far better than the factory 68gn Hornady Match HPBT's, these are 68.1gn +/-0.2
Also, put the length gauge over them, again, super consistent length to ogive of 8.27mm +/-0.01
Will load some tonight and clock some velocities, groups and maybe a few vermin this weekend.
Again, these look amazing.
Mine arrived Wednesday last week & as Uplander says very consistant weights etc. I loaded some Winchester Once fired shells with 24.5 gns 2206 for a start but found it to be a compressed powder load so will try them as soon as we get some settled weather on the 50yd & 150yd targets then take them after a few goats. Will keep you informed of results. (would put up pics but don't know how)

Ok, so I managed to get out and put these through the crony.
Seating all of the below to 56.50mm to the ogive.
30.0gn of BM2
Average of 3,487 with ES of 82 ( sloppy reloading on my end)
30.5gn of BM2
Average of 3,502 with ES of 28
30.5gn of 2206H
Average of 3,415 with ES of 39
All shoot great groups(forgot the photos, sorry). Pressure still down a bit, but already know the the 53gn Vmax I sometimes shoot at 3,520fps has high pressure (and am about to put 50 of them), so going to call the 30.5 of BM2 good, and load some for hunting.

sorry, guys, tardy reply! thanks for the tests as well. i will receive next week the die for the 69 and one for flat bases, but will be leaving to my filthy country (i really don't want to go) for a month next 28th so I think bullets just for the next year.also I will give away some so you guys can test them, if you want.
two questions: what bullet weight/shape in .224 would you guys like to have?
another: what could be one other good calibre /weight/shape to make here in NZ? I thought about the .204 HPBT in the 40's, but surely there will be no market for it.
cheers
130-170gr 30cal

"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
308Win One chambering to rule them all.
There should be some demand for the followings:
7mm 160gr to 180gr
30 cal 180gr to 230gr
sorry for the late reply. been wondering about the 7mm and 30 cal for the next bullets. lets see and talk to more people.
Cribe, I dont make 60gr. Just 50, 52, 53, 55 (FB or BT) and as I always say the 69's.
Cheers
I'm really keen to try some 69gr!
Is there a noticable difference with 1gr eg: 53gr vs 54gr
