375 1E Set

$542.00

375 caliber flat base, open tip bullet.

The 1E round nose ogive is about .375″ long. Good hunting bullet for most game. Typically a shorter range bullet but effective out to around 200 yards.

Two flat base, open tip bullets made using copper tubing jackets. The shorter bullet is 15/16″ long and weighs 230 grains. The longer bullet is 1 1.8″ long and weighs 330 grains. The soft point bullet is made from a 5.56 cartridge case and weighs 250 grains.

375 4SFT Set

$495.00

375 caliber set that makes a flat base bullet that has 4 caliber flat tip spitzer ogive.

This was made for tubular magazine rifles. The ejection pin in the point form die is .219″ diameter which makes the bullet tip .220″ diameter. There are two ejection punches. One makes a solid flat tip and the other makes a hollow point flat tip bullet.

The set has a core swage, core seat, and point form die. Included are two core seat punches for jackets made from fired 223 Remington/5.56 cases.

Bullets made can be a solid soft point, flush tip, open tip, and a hollow point. The ogive has small “bobble” where the ogive and bearing meet so the set is discounted because of that. Would be a good plinking or hunting bullet.

375 4SFN Set

$542.00

375 caliber die set that makes a flat base bullet with a 4S spitzer flat tip.

Good bullet for tubular magazine rifles or other rifles as well. It is similar to the common 30-30 flat tip bullet only larger.

Copper tubing bullet shown. 1 7/8″ long, 260 grains.

375 4SFN Point Form

This is the point form die only. Add to an existing set or add a core swage and core seat die to complete the set.

410 Lead Bullet Set

41090923

$235.00

A die set to make a pure lead 41 caliber lead bullet with a flat base. The set can make a Keith style nose, a round nose, and either can be hollow points. Gas check bullets, 1/2 jacketed, and 3/4 jacketed bullets can also be made. If using short jackets be sure that some lead is exposed beyond the jacket mouth to avoid crushing the jacket as the core is seated.

458 Die Set

Price $542.00

458 three die set.

Includes a .377″ core swage, core seat, and a 4S spitzer point form die.

Hollow point, soft point, open tip bullets can be made. Use fired 308 Winchester cases and 45 ACP case as jackets. Drawn jackets and copper tubing jackets can also be used but different seating punches will be needed.

The bullet is best in a single shot or box magazine rifle but could be used with a tube magazine by loading one round in the chamber and one in the magazine.

Price $542.00

458 three die set.

Includes a .377″ core swage, core seat, and a 1E round nose point form die. Hollow point, soft point, open tip bullets can be made.

The bullet has a longer and a bit flatter round nose ogive that is about .425″ long. It would be a good bullet for tubular magazine as well as other rifles.

The longer soft point bullet was made using a 7.62 cartridge case and is 440 grains. The shorter bullet is made using a 45 ACP case and is an open tip about 300 grains. Just the point form die is shown.

Individual dies are available.

1/2" Tubing Jacket Maker Set

1/2″ JM

Price $675.00

Copper tubing jacket maker set. Uses 3/8 type L (1/2″ dia.) straight hard tubing. The set makes a basic jacket which has a thickness of .035″ and is about .503″ diameter. The basic jacket can be used to make 510 caliber jackets or redrawn to make a 500 caliber jacket. The 1/2″ basic jacket can be redrawn to make a 458 caliber jacket and then redrawn again to make a 416 caliber jacket. The set includes the jacket maker die, five jacket forming punches of 5/8″, 3/4″, 7/8″, 1″, and 1 1/8″ lengths. Reducing the 1/2″ basic jacket to 416 caliber will increase the jacket length by about 1/8″. A stuck jacket removal punch is included.

End flattening punches are included for each caliber. Two core seating punches and a core swage die for the 416 caliber are incuded. Also included are the special Tubing Punch Holder and a Extra Length press handle. The first step in making the jackets will take a good bit of effort which the special press handle makes easier.

The die set without the special handle and punch holder would be $578.00. Use with the Walnut Hill or Walnut Hill-2 press. The set only makes the jacket. A bullet swage set is needed to make bullets.
