Yes Papa Smurf...

I did a cunning trick with that blue stuff, I refilled some used marker pens with it now no mess just pull off the cap and mark the job. BUT!!, don`t leave it in your back pocket and sit down on it, , Old blue bum.

I turned a 375 tapered swaging die to swage soft lead parallel 375 bullets for use on a muzzleloader

Now the heel is a few Thou smaller
I used the tail stock hand wheel to press them in with a flat ended pusher
Another rod to knock them out through the head stock

Made case tumbler from plastic container ,a bolt and nut and cordless drill today,biltong box yesterday.

New stock for a cheap 22LR Benchrest rifle

Nice work... What flavour .22 is that in the stock?

.

Here`s my idea akaroa1, I made up a sizing dia that screws into my reloading press and a push rod in the case holder. Just place bullet on rod and lower handle, bullet popes out the top nicely sized to .459".
, PP bullet ready for sliming down.
, Starting into dia.
, Sized and popes out the top.

@homebrew.357 I have a few of the pass through one also

But this one has a few Thou of taper
So has to come out once it reaches the correct depth

Looks quite similar to an EM-332, at least externally. Do you know happen to know whether Norinco based theirs on the 54 action?

Today I made a custom light bar for above my milling machine
4 x 50 watt GU10 light fittings
Pull switch within arms length

Work in progress JW-145
