    For anyone interested in hand swaging bullets, I'm going to post a serries of pics in my photo album . . . huntin' season is over - and I gotta do somethin' . . .

    Hopefully, the pics will prove interesting - they will demonstrate a range of equipmet and mounting options, one/some of which may prove useful/desirable for your situation. In the end, it will amount to a good many pics: when I make a composit, too much detail is sacrificed. I will attempt to keep the photos in a logical sequence, from cutting lead wire, through point-up. I will make an effort to answer any questions which are posed under, "comments" - in the photo album. I'll add pics and update as time permits. Keep 'em ON the X! RG

    P.S. Pictured here is a Niemi converted RCBS RockChucker, angle-mounted, for sit-down core seating: this mount angle is very user friendly, as it offers a PULL stroke.The lever is about 6 inches longer than the standard RockChucker handle. I am now adding Lee Cast (Iron) Classic presses into the bullet making process; especially with regard to alignment, both axial and radial, they are MUCH better than the RCBS presses. Pictures of my Lee Classic conversion are posted in the same album. The photo below was originally posted on the "old" WareWolf forum, in 2004. Note the oil splatter on the wall - it is SQUIRTED out from the "strap" pins! Use a LOT of oil on the moving parts!

        Looking foward to it, Randy. Your help has been invaluable to me in my bullet making (ad)venture...can't wait to see some more.   -Al

     Looking forward to the chance to see more of your setup, thanks for the info on the Blackmon dies. Terry

    Here's a pic of a special bullet, made for only one individual . . .

    We refer to this as the BIB LCSABT, or, Larry Cribbs Semi-Adjustable Boat-Tail; we have also made a FARB (Fully Adjustable Rotating Base) bullets for Mr. Cribbs - "conditions" at The Beaver pond being generally MILD, he has yet to encounter one requiring such a radical form . . . ! ;) RG

    After this, we'll get to the serious stuff! ;) RG
