I know one of the Questions asked earlier what is the diameter of the breached bits, it's 1.45mm

Also overall finish is not to bad, but I think getting better lead with some antimonium could possibly improve the flashing issue, any...

That said and in all fairness I have managed to reduce the flashing by re aligning the punch and die but still not perfect.

I hear you. Fortunately, the press is well-made and of great overall quality. As for the punch and dies, the new crown setup makes it...

Yeah, I don’t know what's going on with Presslug and the larger dies, and even with the .2173 they had listed that was never available...

The same .2165.. I only give them a short tumble in a vibratory tumbler with either corn cob or rice as the medium. My rifle prefers...

Yeah, im roughly at 0.0005. Will confirm with the Mic tomorrow

They shoot great, no problem there. Interesting I get slightly better groupings at 50m plus with the tumbled batch, go figure 🤔

Hi Yes this might, I'll measure with a micrometer tomorrow. Not sure what tolerance should be between the die and punch?

So I reduced my lube which I already thought was minimal and this is the results. Only some flashing on every other slug. Not perfect...

Hi, good point.. I measured the punch .216 and the slug .2165

Thanks, this is great information. I will confirm my hole diameter later and post my results

Hi, my core weight is about 33 grains, and my finished projectiles are 30 grains. So, my lead squirrel is about 1/2 to 3/4 inches. I'm...

I do have issues with finish, as shown with these images, hence trying tumbling with corn cob as part of an experiment. I've polished...
